I agree that any assitence to him in the past, was a grave error, which was committed by administrations of both parties. I wish I had a dollar for every mistake made by the administrations since I was old enough to know about them. I was a little over 5 years old when FDR, either by mistake, or plan, called the entire Pacific fleet into Pear Harbor against the advice of every military leader in the nation, which caused thousands of un-expecting young men, and women, to die or be disfigured forever. Many believe it was by plan, as it was the only way he could get the country out of the great depression. All of his other programs were dismal failures. No war from then on had any true credibility, or moral premise.
