A meeting at the White House between Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump descended into a bitter argument in front of the press in extraordinary scenes as Trump demanded that Zelenskyy show more gratitude to his administration, while accusing him of 'disrespecting the US'.
Trump also told him that he needs to make a deal with Putin or 'we are out', threatening to cut US support for Kyiv.
He did handle it well.
That: "I heard it from Putin" should go down in history.
Its all going according to Russias plan. Make Zelensky look like a bad guy to the MAGA freaks who wont argue when the full invasion happens.
Its pretty clear its on Europe to keep the continent safe. The US is out of the conflict.
Yeah, my first thought what that they were really giant thin skinned snowflakes, but it’s more likely their plan was to latch onto anything and get heated in an attempt to bait Zelensky into an outburst.
- Make Zelensky the bad guy
- Walk away from negations
- Declare the only way to bring PEACE to Ukraine is to send US troops in to halt the fighting
- Continue working towards giving it to Putin
The US is out of the conflict.
Until they turn to focus on Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Panama.
The “we are out” was the point of the whole thing. Trump never negotiated in good faith.
HE’S NOT SPEAKING LOUDLY!
I’m still baffled that so many people think this toddler is competent.
They're not blind, they are fascists trying to normalize invasions and dictatorships.
They are not idiots, they are evil.
Trump is definitely also an idiot.
I feel like that rethoric does more harm than good. You don't accidentally mobilize and radicalize a large part of the American people. That is calculated behavior. Everyone not taking him seriously are part of the problem.
Did Vance ever serve?
I’m just one US citizen but I’d like to apologize to all Ukrainians on behalf of 50% or so of all people here. Our leadership is disgusting.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens. That fucking oompa-loompa blowhard talks loud but needs to STFU.
As insane as this is, Trump and Vance have not forgotten that Zalensky aligned himself with Kamala Harris before the election. So, they are wanting to see some 'Humble Pie' eaten. Its difficult for Zalensky to nagivate this hard feeling, and addressing it directly might be counter productive. It will probably work out in the end. Edit: its shocking how many downvotes this comment has already. Particularly as its just an overview of that position of things, not a personal opinion!
Trump proposes bad deal for Ukraine, expects Zelensky to sign it and lick their boots tso they can say they've "shown his his place".
It was never about Ukraine, it was a power move that failed because the whole fucking USA president office is a giant bad joke.
Don't fucking run apologetics for the filthy fucking nazi traitor scum. This shit is absolutely unexcusable. Trump needs to be removed and tried for treason immediately.

Gotta say, that was surprisingly hard to watch.
Zelenskyy was gonna get screamed at no matter what. This is just a matter of controlling the narrative and manufacturing consent to stop military aid.
