Zelensky Tries Bold New Strategy Of Insulting The People He's Begging For Money From

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unusual tactic rarely seen in high-level negotiations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to try insulting the people he was begging for money from.

Zelensky further decided that the best place to insult that person would be their work office, surrounded by dozens of colleagues, with several cameras recording the insult.

"It is unorthodox, but I firmly believe going into a person's country, visiting them in their home, and then insulting them on national television is the best way to earn their trust and support," he explained. "First, I will explain that they do not know what they are doing when they negotiate. Then, I will tell them that their country is only saved from destruction because of the ocean. Finally, I will roll my eyes when they mention that I came to campaign events for the opposition party. That should do the trick."

According to witnesses, Zelensky executed his plan to perfection. "Wow, he really did it," said White House aid Larry Sanders. "What a bold plan, telling the people you're depending on for survival that they are foolish and weak. Let's see how it plays out for him."

At publishing time, sources reported that the strategy had not, in fact, worked out for him.

“Zelensky Tries Bold New Strategy Of Insulting The People He’s Begging For Money From”

He’s been doing that for years, but, until recently, we’ve pretended not to notice.

I’ve always found that to be a winning strategy!

Let’s face it…..Zelensky is used to showing up at the WH, goes to the Capitol, gives a perfunctory speech, bringing Congress to its feet with wild applause and flies away with billions.

I would note that Zelensky’s strategy in America is pretty much identical to Zeeper strategy on FR.

If Bill Clinton can turn, "Lewinsky," into a euphemism, Donald Trump can do the same for "Zelinsky."

i.e., "I was getting a Lewinsky from my girlfriend, but when her brother caught us, he gave me a Zelinsky that put me in the emergency room!"

This would have worked during the Biden Administration.

On Martha MacCallum's show this afternoon, it was reported that even Biden lost his temper with Zelensky because Zelensky was ungrateful and just kept asking for more or everything.

He's an arrogant @ss who over-values his position.

The look on President Trump’s face. “That’s it, I’m going to bitch slap this little green knob so hard he won’t land until next Thursday.”

There are no good guys in this fight. Both sides are hyper corrupt oligarchies that differ only in scale. We should never have gotten involved. But thanks to the Biden Administration we are.

Now President Trump is stuck with cleaning the mess they made up.

Zelenski just shot himself right in the crotch in front of the entire world.

Arrogant little prick that he is.

Exactly! Zelensky just gave us all an insight into why zeepers are such d-bags.

And he’s dressed like a bum. Completely disrespectful! The gravy train has ended for the failed comedian.

Some people have to put their hand on the burner to see if it’s hot. Z’s probably got massive dirt on Biden and Hunter and figured he really didn’t have to check his tone.

Someone commented earlier that Graham ACTUALLY MET with Z to advise him on how to make his approach in today’s meeting. Totally fumbled it, and now Graham is running for cover.

Z: “Show me the money!”
T: “Slap”
