Trump meets with Zelensky after all and thanks him for ending ‘impeachment hoax’
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 27, 2024 | Haisten Willis

Posted on 09/27/2024 10:48:26 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Former President Donald Trump thanked a surprised-looking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for ending the “impeachment hoax” ahead of their Friday meeting.

“[Zelensky] said, ‘President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,'” Trump said as Zelensky stood silently by his side ahead of their New York City meeting. “He said it loud and clear, and the impeachment hoax died right there.”

The comment referred to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, which centered on accusations that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter Biden, in exchange for military aid from the United States to fight off Russian-backed separatists.

Zelensky spoke up at the time and said there was “no blackmail,” and Trump was acquitted in the Senate.

“I’ve never told you this, to be honest,” Trump said Friday, “but he was like a piece of steel.”

Well this meeting and Trump's praise will make some heads explode around here.

"Like a piece of steel."

He did not end it. The House impeached him. The Senate ended it before it went farther.

While Zelenskyy strong-armed Democratic leaders into signing artillery shells that will kill children and another check for $8 billion, @realDonaldTrump stood firm for U.S. interests vowing quick peace and fiscal sanity. DJT has made Republicans the party of peace and skilled diplomacy.

Trump is using Zelensky like a toy poodle. Similar to way Zelensky uses you.

"Zelensky said, ‘President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,'”

I am still convinced Zelensky coordinated with Vindman to start the whole process of impeachment.

no references re: Ukraine the most corrupt country on the planet?

It would be nice to get an estimate on the amount of money, given to Ukraine, ends up in the accounts of U.S. politicians.

Trump didn’t praise the little creep. Zelensky left looking miserable.

No, he didn't.

Red State: Trump and Zelensky Meet and Remind the World What Leadership Looks Like

A couple of observations: First, this was a win-win for Trump and Zelensky. They both benefited from the publicized meeting, standing together, addressing the press. Zelensky benefits by shoring up support from Trump and his supporters, which he'll need should Trump win in November. Trump benefits by showing that he's got leverage — and something other world leaders (including the Left's darling, Zelensky) want to be a part of. And it sends a message to Putin, too, that the dealmaker may soon be in play and there might yet be a resolution he can accept and live with.

Second, notice Zelensky's body language before and after the meeting. Before, he looked tense, anxious. After, he looked much more relaxed. Why exactly that is, it's hard to say, but my sense is that it's a good thing. We'll see.

Did Trump say this MIC CF doesn’t end as soon as he takes over? NO! You can hang up your silly fantasy about Trump needing this sawed off little MIC quisling. The globohomo goons around here need a more study piece of hope porn to hang their dreams on.

Face it, you’re going to be satiating your bloodlust somewhere else in the world come January. Not to fear, the genocide will continue.

Zelenskyy looks like he thinks his money train is going to end if Trump wins

Trump was pissed that Zelensky did the photo-op campaign stop for Kamala in PA, but my guess is he knows Zelensky was bribed/had his arm twisted regarding more US military assistance.

Neither Trump nor Zelensky are dim bulbs, so both know concessions will be needed to negotiate but Trump especially also knows that making pre-emptive concessions before negotiations even start is idiotic.

Should Trump, by grace of God, actually take office I would guess Zelensky will have to make concessions but the terms of the deal will not make Putin very happy either.

Your Putinista love of Russia’s topless strongman is more `globohomo` than anything else on FR.

Ukraine is a deep-state imposed cancer on the US Republic.

The state Dept, American oligarchs and the CIA wrested control of Ukraine Govt from Russian oligarchs, and set-up the place as a black box for money-laundering, corruption, and Democrat political scheming.

Every major high-level “scandal” imposed on America since 2015 has had roots starting Ukraine, from the fake dossier to impeachment to Hunter Biden.
