President Trump and Ukraine President Volodymr Zelenskyy hold a press availability in the Oval Office before going into a HIGH STAKES bilateral discussion and later meetings with European leaders.
President Trump notes that immediately following the discussions, he is scheduled to call Russian President Vladimir Putin to give him an update on the discussion and potentially schedule a trilateral meeting between Putin, Zelenskyy and Trump.

He’s wearing a suit. It’s black, but a suit. Fear level high!
“Fear level high!”
POTUS holds his fate, and the fate of his nation in the palm of his hand.
I was going to say if Z played his cards right he might be able to stay for a Happy Meal.
But I forgot he got no cards to play.
And the White House ain’t like Wheel of Fortune where there is parting gifts for the loser.
Europe has the resources to back Zelensky if they choose, the process could result in status quo but with reduced (or zero) U.S. support. That would be good on several levels, time for Europe to man up if they really believe what they’re saying about Putin, or, change their tone to a more realistic appraisal as Trump has already done.
This is basically a struggle between Russia and Eurocentric globalism, Trump is a third option and neither Russia nor globalist Europe (including Canada apparently) fit into the Trump paradigm without considerable adjustments being made.
Trump does not have enough time or power to defeat globalism, it will be weakened by whatever positive outcomes there may be for the MAGA episode, which is why it will be crucial to stay in the MAGA lane 2029-2032 to begin a more substantial weakening of the globalist agenda. As for Russia, it would seem obvious that they would be further ahead to concentrate on developing their own economic potential and try to limit the damage being done to their country by fallout of the partially unsuccessful so-called special military operation. They could remain anti-globalist but at least they would be back to making progress at home.
We’ll see within a week or two what Europe decides, once it sinks in with them that Trump is not bluffing, America is on its way out of the coalition of the willing, which basically takes half to three-quarters of the funding and resources, and almost all the vital intelligence data, away from Ukraine. They may decide it’s worth their while to up their game and try to replace the U.S. contributions, or they may start to lean on Zelensky to give up his no-compromise stand.
Somehow I think a coup in Kyiv and a more realistic leader for Ukraine could easily be the outcome before end of 2025. As to who might be behind such a venture, options range from CIA to Russia with MI6 in between.
Stinking Europeans are doing everything they can to scuttle this. Grifting leaches.😡
We’d better not commit a dime more of American resources or military strength to this corrupt country!!!
So sick of this nonsense........
MAGA!
Notice the shirt buttoned and jacket.
As I stated last night...he’ll do what he’s told, he has no choice. He has zero leverage, and is lucky to be alive, at this point.
“...So sick of this nonsense.......”
They keep “glooming and dooming” Social Security that our elderly paid into and depend on while giving billions tro these vile, foriegn basstids.....sick of it too.
The time has more than come to just stop.
Hard to watch Trump devoting his time & effort to this. I think he feels he “promised” peace in Ukraine, but honestly - who gives a crap at this point.
Trump did give it his best try, the minerals deal fell through (thanks to the Dems encouraging Z to “stand up” against Trump, during that prior WH meeting).
We have dozens of Trillions in DEBT - the DOGE cuts deserve his 100% attention - not Ukraine!
Trump seems a little too pre-occupied with what is now their (EU’s) problem, ‘thanks’ to Biden (NOT Trump) earlier pushing NATO membership for that corrupt nation....
It’s not our problem now. LET IT GO. Put America first!!!
