Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came to the White House today supposedly to cement a deal over some mineral rights with the United States.
It didn’t end with anything signed. It ended instead with Zelenskyy storming out a shouting match with Donald Trump, who along with Vice President J.D. Vance, managed to insult the beleaguered Zelenskyy to the point of immense frustration.
This man is our ally, or at least he was our ally when Russian forces attacked Ukraine three years ago while Joe Biden was president of the United States.
It’s all changed now that Biden has retired and Trump has returned to power. Trump has buddied up to Russian goon Vladimir Putin, taking up where he left off when he lost his re-election bid to Biden in 2020.
That a meeting with Zelenskyy would crater as it did today should have surprised no one, given Trump’s propensity for saying the wrong things at the wrong time.
When millions of your people have been slaughtered, and your cities are being destroyed, a leader should want to do next to ANYTHING to bring about peace and save lives. You donāt act arrogantly, you donāt make demands, and you donāt allow 2/3 of the billions of dollars sent to you by the US to simply vanish.
Including ceding all the territory Russia has taken from you? The Russian aggressors should not be rewarded.
First of all, Trump continues to lie about the amount of money sent to Ukraine. The actual amount is approximately 119 billion. Secondly, the death toll is not in the millions. Thirdly, Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not act arrogant. He was trying to explain that Russia has never honored a ceasefire and he wanted assurance of protection when the ceasefire was breached. Donald and JD were the two who made our country look stupid and weak. Plus, it was obvious Donald is still in love with Putin and cannot say a bad thing about him. Yet, he called Zelenskyy a dictator? What? That pile of garbage either has dementia or is just plain stupid. I also liked how JD raised his voice and stated Zelenskyy should be more grateful and thank the US for their assistance when his ass voted against it. JD did nothing to help. He voted against it. He’s a liar, just like his protege.
The ignorance Trump displayed (yet again ) is astonishing.
He knows nothing about history- he was corrected by both Zelenskyy and the VP when he stated boldly ā 2015!ā regarding the date of the first aggression by Putin toward Ukraine. ( it was 2014)
Then- like the dumbass he is he replied, ā Oh, I wasnāt here back then.ā
I doubt the dope has ever read a book- especially not one about history.
Vance became upset when Zelenskyy asked him about Putinās disregard for diplomacy and laid out the facts of how many times Putin has broken agreements.
ā What kind of diplomacy are you talking about JD?ā
The VP couldnāt answer and became irate after he was exposed in front of the world.
Trump claims Putin respects him.
What a hoot- Putin is playing him like a fiddle.
If Trumpās claim was true- that Putin respects and fears him- why not simply ask Putin to give back all the land heās taken and pay for the damages?
Putin is taking land, Trump wants the minerals- Reminds me of Russia and Germany invading Poland simultaneously with an agreement to split it between them.
Pathetic.
