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.
Forty minutes later, Zelensky arrived at the White House, where Trump met his car, smiled, shook his hand and walked him into the Oval Office.
The earlier meeting with Dems undercuts wild claims that Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance staged an ambush. In fact, it was Zelensky who came with an ulterior motive.
The purpose of the meeting was to sign the mineral agreement he and Trump representatives had negotiated. He had twice refused to sign it after promising to, and thanks to Murphy, we now know he had no intention of signing it Friday.
By listening to the nakedly partisan advice of Dems instead of dealing forthrightly with the current president, Zelensky betrayed his countrymen and, for now at least, leaves them without the military and diplomatic protection that only America can provide.
Good luck counting on Britain, France and the rest of Europe to save Ukraine. Maybe the Germans will send strudel.

Goodwin still has the USAID Narrative that the Ukraine War started 3 years ago when Putin got up on the wrong side of bed.
So, this a loss of another (uninformed) ally for Zelensky.
yeah, this answers a lot of questions.
Murphy has been one of the worst dem AHs for years.
some dare call it treason.
He’s evil. Already 3 Senate terms in and still only 51, which is a toddler by US Senate standards.
If this is true, he is now a felon, needs to be impeached, tried and imprisoned.

the dems want the money laundering to continue
even if it means America gives blood in addition to treasure
Well...FU, Zelensky.
Oh, so Trump is supposed to monitor democRAT blathering on Twitter prior to every important meeting?
Z SCREWED THE POOCH!! He was so DISGUSTINGLY RUDE it showed the WORLD what a LOSER he is. THANKS, DEMS!!
What makes you think President Trump wasn’t aware of it?
L
I haven’t heard or read anything that says he was.
Democrats want to block Trump from winning peace.
“ I haven’t heard or read anything that says he was.”
That does not mean he wasn’t. Maybe he let Zelenski walk into a buzz saw intentionally.

Zelensky is still a part and parcel member of the Biden crime family.
The mineral deal will end the kick back schemes organized by the Biden Crime family, George Soros’s Eastern Europe bank network, because it will allow the US Dept of Treasurey access to the Ukraunan Trasurey receipts , so there will be oversight.
Zelensky and his oligarch war cabinet have all become millionaires , with yachts,and villas in the Mediterranean, while siphoning off billions for themselves and the Biden crime family.All of the Ukrainian people understand that, they have lived with it for years.No way Zelensky and his so called war cabinet will survive any real election.
The Dems convinced Zelensky that he had an ace card up his sleeve to demand boots on the ground security from TRump...Duh? This proves that Zelensky is dirty, a grifter, a man who cannot even see clearly enough to save the lives of his own countrymen in a war with no end in sight.
Now Zelensky has proven to the world that he and the Dems are war mongers.
We will get the minerals that both China and Russia want.And we will clean out the dirt in Ukraine with free and fair elections .
Otherwise Europe and that Canadian village idiot , Justin Trudeau, will pay for a war without end as the Ukrainian meat grinder continues its butcher bill.
Por Zelensky and the Dems...their embezzlement system of tax payer dollars uis at an end. The Dems are pished off. George Soros is pissed off, NATO is pissed off,and Zelensky and his oligarchs are pissed off.But they will sign anyway. If they do not, every one of them will become room temperature within a year, thanks to special ops from a variety of countries.
Not Trump himself but maybe somebody else on his team.
