Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.
The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.
It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.
It’s amazing how this man’s brain is so feeble that he just fully believes what the last person he met with him tells him.
I need to see this play out like a heist movie. Two opposing advisors are battling each other to get their idea in his head for the big speech. They get into some zany hijinks trying to be the last to speak to him. Some real spy vs spy stuff.
Inception of the stupid. Written, Directed and Produced by the Coen Brothers.
I believe that in the medical community this is called Joe Rogan’s Disease

Vlad wants to end the war. On his terms though, cause he knows he can get it.

There was literally no scenario where Russia could possibly lose this war. Anybody who has an even minimally functioning brain understood this long before the war began.
It’s not even a war according to Putin lol

Imagine being so historically ignorant as to try and draw comparisons between the two.

Ah yes, the fall of USSR when millions of people had their lives ruined of course would be the day somebody like you would celebrate.
Chances have been looking good for russia. I don’t believe Europe has the capacity to deal with russians by themselves, they’d really have to ramp up manufacturing.
In his mind he’s ~6’ 3", ~230 lbs with an IQ of 150.
He truly thinks that world leaders look up to him and that he’s playing everyone else.
If you can’t tell whether Trump is an idiot, then sorry I can’t help you.
The issue is figuring out whether any given statement is due to stupidity or maliciousness.

Everybody plays him, but he’s not smart enough to see it.
Something odd is happening with the right, seems like they’re trying to hedge their bets for blowback.
Trump definitely knew this all along, to say this now seems like damage control.
Then earlier this week Rogan calling out the deportations to El Salvador without a trial, saying it was an overcorrection to the left that has gone too far.
I wonder if the American people will buy it.
Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.
It’s a common take that the left are fascists because we …want LGBTQ+ etc to be accepted. Fucking bizarre.
Hey hey, we also want people not to starve or go into horrific debt because of medical issues. Super clear indicators of fascism or something.
Those are all bidens/obama polices tho
And that’s why they’re not left
Overcorrection to the LEFT???
his words not mine but yeah that’s what he said
meaning he’s over correcting as a response to what the left was doing
lol this dood is such an idiot
Scene: DJT standing awkwardly at a table. Beside him, sitting on the floor is Vladimir Putin with his Entire Arm shoved up DJT’s ass.
DJT: I’m starting to think Putin might be manipulating me.
I wonder [not to give him any credit] if DJT would be a better president if he were surrounded by actual decent people that were earnest/honest. It feels like it could be in the realm of possibility that he’s treating the Ukraine/Russia conflict the way he has simply because the people around him are only giving him a specific narrative surrounding it. Either intentionally, incidentally, due to incompetence or sycophantic attempts to “please” trump.
Maybe this is the first time getting it from Ukraine’s point of view, unfiltered.
Doesn’t change/nor justify his shitty behavior, but… it makes a kind of sense.
It wouldn’t surprise me. We are a product of our environment, and Trump is a very clear example of that. He tends to mimic and amplify whoever he thinks is the strongest/most powerful around him. He’s a LeFou in constant search of a Gaston.
That’s what his first term was. He either doesn’t listen to good advice or doesn’t care. Either way, it’s still a shitshow.
He promised me a reach around!
I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think “LOL” is the best response
ROFLMAO
He’s a sharp one, the ol’ Donny!
The human embodiment of Internet Explorer, everyone.
Holy shit, he might have finally gotten through to that dunce in some small way.
