Trump Melts Down in Deranged Rant During Zelenskiy Meeting
newrepublic.com
Donald Trump decided the meeting was the perfect time to list all his personal grievances.

Summary

During a heated Oval Office meeting, Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

Trump repeatedly cut Zelenskiy off, accused him of lacking gratitude, and defended Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also ranted about past U.S. elections and personal grievances.

Following the meeting, Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming Zelenskiy “is not ready for peace.”

The U.S. and Russia recently held talks without Ukraine, raising concerns over sidelining Kyiv in negotiations.

    Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more embarrassed being an American.

    This is a great window into how Trump, Vance and MAGA do business.

    Bully. Yell. Lie. Threaten.

      The White House posted an edited video, so what we all saw and heard must not be real. They also just pulled infrastructure repair funding from Ukraine, and took Russia off of the cybersecurity threat list under the radar.

      Every member of Congress that stands behind this is complicit as well.

          Tyrants is a better title for them, technically John Brown was a traitor and I’d rather not lump them in with ol’ John Brown.

          Plus then we can say Sic Semper Tyrannis, which implies that they will inevitably fail. Traitors can thrive, tyrants cant

      I know Europeans hate us Americans and I understand why. I’ve never supported Trump and have fought with my dollar, vote, and time, but I am just too ashamed to show my face in the EU any time soon.

        Most Europeans don’t hate Americans and those who do are not worth being around anyway.

        On the other hand… Yeah, your leadership’s right now really sucks.

        But if I had to wait for presentable leadership of my country to show my face abroad, I’d still be living at my parents…

      If you thought you couldn’t be more embarrassed, you must’ve not looked at the calendar. We’re only two months into in the second month of this shit.
