When I believe Putin over the POTUS

Well, that's where we are today, isn't it? And it's not based on partisanship or speculation:
That's the kind of letter you write, then stick in a drawer. What you don't do is publish it to prove what a whiny little bitch you are. This, by the way, is what Trump means by "back up":
What crystal ball tells you that you have 72 hours left before the "crisis"? And frankly, Trump's argument that the Feds are only "back up" takes us back to the era immediately after WWII:

On one side are those who have upheld the Burkean ideal of replenishing civil society by adjusting to changing conditions. On the other are those committed to a revanchist counterrevolution, the restoration of America’s pre-welfare state ancien regime. And, time and again, the counterrevolutionaries have won. The result is that modern American conservatism has dedicated itself not to fortifying and replenishing civil society but rather to weakening it through a politics of civil warfare (my stress).

Herbert Hoover was the man who provided Federal aid to the South after devastating flooding of the Mississippi river, a change in governmental practice that made Hoover President and, ironically, opened the door to the New Deal.

And if you're wondering why Trump is complaining to Schumer about the impeachment trial, it's the same reason he still won't talk to the Speaker of the House (the third most important office in the Federal government, being the only legislative office specified in the Constitution):

Yeah, let's leave it with this:
