It could get far worse, imagine if Trump gets in, he could:
  • cuts off all chance of aid to Ukraine
  • drop US sanctions against Russia
  • refuse any requests for transfer of military equipment to Ukraine (yeah, forget about those F16s)
    • maybe even force the return of existing equipment (dunno if any US equipment has been 'lent' like this)
  • start sending aid to Russia
  • explicitly say that the US will not intervene if Russia attacks any EU nations
    • which he's pretty much already said
    • and this would cause EU to prolly hold off aid to Ukraine in favour of beefing up the defences of it's own countries.
Most conversations seem to think that all Trump will do is the first, which I think is focusing a bit too much on current political battles.
Yeah, this is a bit DOOMy, but like only the sending of aid to Russia is unlikely. But then again this is trump, he could get in and do the complete opposite, in attempt to put himself in the history books or something.

It's not really DOOMy, he's basically outright stated or heavily implied he'd do all of those things (except, as ntoed, maybe the actual aid to Russia part, because Putin wouldn't want that due to it making them look weak).
