My money is on China cleaning Trump's clock.  And, he will have

 Trump is rightly washing his hands of Ukraine as he wants to focus on
events in the oriental region. He's said as much only days ago.

Trump is far-rightly washing his hands of the Ukraine, and falsely claiming that Zelensky provoked the Russian invasion, when Putin snaffled Crimea and started an insurrection in Donbass in 2014, five years before Zelensky got elected.
Quite why Trump wants to appease Putin isn't entirely obvious but the Steele dossier provides a working hypothesis.

It's the kind of baseless speculation that you enjoy. Do read it.
