Reuters reporting that senior US official said that Zelensky’s debacle will “speed up” Trump and Elon’s investigation into “waste, fraud, and abuse involving US aid to Ukraine”!

Zelensky’s stunt just gave Trump and Elon the green light to go scorched earth!!! --BioClandestine

I think the President and Vance planned this outburst. They were playing good cop/ bad cop. Vance was the bad cop and subtly baited Zelensky. The President then stepped in and was being quite reasonable, but Zelensky had already taken the bait and grew heated. This allowed the President to make very strong statements... while the cameras rolled. They documented the ingratitude and insolence for all to see.

They played Zelensky so no one will blame them when they throw him to the wolves.
