Nothing is ever enough for the cannibals of the Republican party. They are craven, ravenous, rapacious monsters.

Trump doesn't want a deal. He wants to hold it over Ukraine's head that he has power over them.
Basically, he's just going to keep moving the goal post.
None of Trump’s swallowers can defend the pause in counterintelligence sharing. It’s not like the US suddenly stopped gathering intel. It doesn’t cost taxpayers anything for us to share it. There’s absolutely no good reason other than to hamstring Ukraine.
He is just as trustworthy as his boss, Putin.
Just like with his stupid trade war with Canada. The chaos is the point
Krasnov Trump is not going to make any deal. It is just theatrics to make Ukraine look like the difficult one, not agreeing. At any point Ukraine is about to sign a deal Krasnov will derail it.
Total capitulation plus a cash bonus for Trump in exchange for extremely shaky overtures of possible military support against Putin, who is the closest thing to a true/consistent Trump ally than virtually anyone else on the planet.
What could go wrong?
He will continue demanding more until only full capitulation is left.
Trump: You don’t have all the cards Zelenskyy: you don’t understand the game
true, Krasnov Trump bankrupted his casinos, he doesn't know how to play with cards.

He IS being led around by his boss (Putin) targeting his bosses enemies....
With luck, Europe can step in (and possibly the other Five Eyes countries in line with then cutting the US out of their own intelligence sharing), and if Ukraine can hold on, the US has less that it can meaningfully withhold. Of course, Trump will eventually pivot to giving Russia military aid, though hopefully European tech is not beneath shooting down some Tomahawk cruise missiles if needed. (And Europe needs to harden its defences for the possibility that US weapons may be used against them.)
