Summary
Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.
Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.
During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.
The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”
The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.
Yes, the man who’s first language is not English should have really been ready to tear them apart linguistically. He should have known how to speak in a manner that would prevent them from yelling over him and not listening to anything he said anyway. Do you listen to yourself think or…?
he is a leader for a country that is actively being bombed by Russia, I would expect him to do better at bootlicking if he wants foreign aid.
