Wow. Just watching it now.

Vance seems like Prince Hal in his hothead youth.

Z of course is scum, but he managed to get both Vance and Trump to be the ones to raise their voices.

Enough with negotiating with this jerk. Of course, Europe doesn’t want peace.

I wonder what comes next.

Guess they figured if anyone would cave in sending troops it’d be the US.

Yup, Zelensky played us for suckers in trying to join NATO.

Here’s an interesting bit of reporting from the NYT:

“Earlier this morning, Republican and Democratic senators met with Zelensky, some posting smiling selfies with him and some anticipating a signing ceremony for a mineral deal in a few hours. The contrast between that meeting and what transpired inside the Oval Office is a strikingly public display of the divide between President Trump’s approach to this war and the sentiment of many Republican defense hawks on Capitol Hill.”

I wonder if the neocons whispered enough sweetness into Z to make him want to keep the game on for more funding deals.

He learned something about the Executive Branch today

Previously he had been dealing with a “stupid” president as Trump said

So the Senators Wormtongued Zelensky by stroking his ego prior to the meeting with President Trump?

Zelensky went into the meeting with Trump thinking that he had Congress on his side?

I’m thinking it could have been a factor.

Meanwhile, here are some headlines:

Daily Mail: “Trump tears Zelensky apart in brutal White House screaming match as President lays hands on Ukraine leader”

Politico: “Trump and Vance attack Zelenskyy in remarkable Oval Office exchange”

NPR: “Trump and Zelenskyy’s meeting turns into a heated argument”

The Hill: “Trump, Vance go off on Zelensky in contentious Oval Office spat”

We didn’t. Instead Trump tossed Zelenski out on his backside.

Come to our house and we are not doing enough, then saying he’s going to continue to fight. What a complete jerk

You’re right. Zelenskyy musts have thought he was dealing with Biden - where a ‘side trade deal’ can be made that benefits Hunter... oop I mean ‘others’...
Trump’s trade deals benefit the American people not ‘his friends’ and family.

Trump said that once - that looking at past trade deals either the folks making the deals were stupid - or corrupt. and he was going with corrupt.
