Riding a wave of political momentum in 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky, a showman turned wartime leader, could have hardly imagined the path his presidency would take.

Years later, Zelensky still faces the domestic challenges that confronted his predecessors — issues he once promised to resolve.

What kind of person are you that you support the most evil, vile group ever to walk this earth?
Why do you advocate for killing innocent Russian citizens?
Well, get on a plane and go. No one is stopping you.
“Zelensky continues to embody the conflicting moods of Ukrainian society, both on corruption and on the war.” He’s good at that.
American patriots want an end to this war.
American patriots, with President Trump, want neither Russians nor Ukrainians to die.

“a showman turned wartime leader, ..”
A depraved, corrupted individual who played the piano with his penis on national TV,...says alot about his supporters.
His legacy is not tied to war. His legacy is tied to corruption, funneling massive amounts of foreign funds into his and his cronies’ bank accounts and suspension of elections.
Peanut gallery interference.
And his term in office has long since expired. Like all true dictators, he refused to step down at the end of his term.
His friends have profited from the war, and he has blocked any negotiated settlement.
Trump?
