Disaster in the Oval Office: Dems lead Zelensky, Ukraine off a cliff with pressure to reject mineral deal
NY Post ^ | March 1, 2025 | Michael Goodwin

A common criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky’s disastrous Friday performance in the Oval Office is that he failed to read the room.

Actually, the Ukrainian president did read a room — but it was the wrong room.

Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).

“Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine,” Murphy’s office posted on X at 11:15 a.m. Friday.

He attached a picture of Zelensky at a conference table, with Murphy seated on the opposite side.

President Trump knew all about this and that's why he said toward the end of the meeting that day,
"“But you see, I think it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on. I think it’s very important. That’s why I kept this going so long.”
You want to take calls on your plane from Obama's henchmen (Rice, Nuland, Blinken, and Vindman), meet with mostly Democrat senators right before you're supposed to go sign a deal at the White House and tell them that you're not signing the deal, then show up late there, in your Ukraine GI Joe uniform that you were requested not to wear, and think you're going to dictate terms to President Trump in the Oval Office? No, not with this President. He's going to treat you to extended time in front of worldwide TV cameras and expose you for the phony leader you are while sending a clear message to everyone else that he knows what's going on.

"Dems lead..."

A tremendous contradiction in terms.

Zelensky’s disastrous WH performance is attributed to his failure "to read the room." Actually, the Ukrainian did read a room — the wrong room. Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn) posted on X: “Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky. He confirmed Ukrainians will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine”.

Zelensky chummy with Democrat Murphy.

Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats

Now, why would he go and do a thing like that?

Goodwin absolutely nails it here. The Dems talked Z into bailing on the deal. Z campaigned for the Dems, and perceives them (accurately) as the side more amenable to his strategy of perpetual war until Putin surrenders. Thus, he sides with his perceived allies and gives the middle finger to Trump/Vance. We’ll see how that works out for him...

He listened to Anti-Trump, Democrat losers.

Democrats carry on their long and proud tradition of turning everything they touch into poop.

If something is good for the normal people of the United States they are against it.

They don’t care how much damage they cause or how many people suffer or die from their actions.

Seems to me those in attendance with Little Cokehead Hitler should be charged with treason. Like Trump said, he was trying to stop WWIII.

follow the money - i can’t help but feel the cozy relationship Dems have with Ukraine is built on 2 things:
money which flows from US to Ukraine back to Dems somehow (let’s see what Elon turns up); Ukraine’s knowledge of where bodies are buried on Joe-Hunter Burisma deal/kickbacks. Ukraine has always been a haven of corruption which Dems tapped into. we just don’t know how many of them and for how much.

I just heard a mic drop hard enough they had to cancel the concert!

Zelinsky chose to appeal to anti-trumpers, thinking they had power to back him if he would confront trump.

he wasn't just wrong, Feeble Biden and his coke head son are not there to spilt billions with him from the American taxpayer..

he completely underestimated DJT's willingness to jump into a slime pit with him and beat his ass. He shoved the entire slime pit up Z's butt.

and I hope LG knows he's toast in s.c. next election.

I'd vote for HRC before LG, at least we'd know the devil we elected. Instead of a two faced back stabbing NGO board grifter.

Do people really believe Zelensky was on drugs during that meeting? And based on what?

At this point it is masochism. Trunp is right. Take a cease fire deal today, and negotiate the rest later. Zelenskyy is either in on it, or he keeps getting rope-a-doped by the same corrupt internationalists. When the region thaws in spring, Russia will be on its feet ready to roll better than before. And Ukraine has zero support from the US now. No money, no weapons, nothing. Europe can’t really help. Congress can’t help. So now he’s fighting two losing battles. It is madness. And the longer he stalls the worse the deal will be for his country.

Actually, Zelensky wore his black ninja outfit this time.

Seems like we should sever ties with Ukraine. They’re interfering in US internal affairs. We should not do any kind of deal with them. Ukraine can thank their democrat advisors for that.
