Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a “setup.”
Rice said, “Obviously it is a very sad day and an embarrassment for the United States on the world stage. But let’s step back and analyze what’s happened here I think there’s no question that this was a setup. You heard Donald Trump say at the end of that clip you played, this is great television. This was a setup. I mean, excuse me, Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have set Ukraine’s minerals to the United States without any concrete security guarantees. And yet, because he was trying to improve a relationship with Donald Trump, he came to Washington, he came to the Oval Office and sat down for a meeting hat in hand. Soon after he got there the Vice President of the United States lit into him and started a confrontation.”

Rice is one of our favorite targets. With good reason.
I continue to feel resentful of a world with so many like her around me. I feel soiled by them.
I see their narrative writers have caught up with events.
She’s dumb as hell
Because the real set up was the uniparty puffed Zelensky up just prior to that meeting to get Zelensky to do just what e did. They used him like the tool he is in an attempt to create a political narrative against trump.
They are hoping to have a change of momentum with this stunt.
Zelensky likely has no clue how badly he screwed things up ...yet. All for the leftists goal of hurting and weakening America and regaining power.
Guess what Rice, Zelensky begged to sign the mineral deal and Trump said he’s no longer interested. So no Z wasn’t compelled to sign anything.
Democrats do not want Trump to achieve peace. Zelensky speaks like he was coached by the Democrat Party.
They still think they can lie with impunity. No one believes them anymore.
That’s pretty much how I saw it, and have commented here accordingly. Vance played the hatchet man and provoked the issue. Zelinski stated his position that Putin can’t be trusted to keep any agreement. Putin’s promises bring back memories of “peace in our time” for the Sudentenland. I respect the fact that Zelinski stood his ground and isn’t a ass kisser. I don’t like people like that.
This is rubbish. If Trump worked a deal that included security guarantees he would be excoriated for committing the US and its sons to fight and die for a war Obama & Biden started in order to grift billions. Trump is exactly right to drive the deal he is driving. America holds all the cards and has spent all the money. Trump should get as much as he can for as little exposure as possible. Z and Europe need US far more than we need either of them.
Seeing communist Susan Rice attack Trump makes me know that both The DOJ and FBI are not in our hands, period. She feels safe from prosecution.
I’m certain that Susan Rice is on Kash’s radar screen.
If it was a set up, it was likely a setup by deep staters like Rice getting into Zelensky’s head and advising him to be defiant.
More like an intervention.
Remember what we have learned through recent years. The Commies always blame their opponents for what they are doing.
She’s an idiot but did Trump and Vance strategize ahead of time...Vance goes on the offensive while Trump looks at z’s response?
Trump said later that emotions tell a lot and z’s response to Vance showed him that z was not ready for peace.
I wouldn’t care if it went down like that.
In fact, I’d be proud we finally have a very smart strategist in the Oval Office.
She is waaay too stupid to grasp the security advantage Ukraine would gain by massive US industrial and commercial ventures established in Ukraine, which would be secure from foreign encroachment
nor the reality of the benefit to Ukraine of sharing 50-50 in the wealth that would be created
Yes. Rat faced Rice was the DEI Obama national security advisor who lit up the middle east and caused millions of deaths and mass migration of refugees. She was the DEI domestic advisor for Biden. We know how well that went. She is utterly incompetent.
“Soon after he got there the Vice President of the United States lit into him and started a confrontation.”
Pardon? Not to sound like ‘he started it’ but the entire video clearly shows Zelensky initiated the fuss. Just like Vance said he began a squabble that should have been reserved for off camera negotiations.
But the fact that Rice feels compelled to blame Trump tells you their party doesn’t think Zelensky came off that well. Twerps on X that are acting like Trump was bested but their claims sound like the same petty lies they peddle desperately every time Trump does something.
