A meeting at the White House between Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump descended into a bitter argument in front of the press in extraordinary scenes as Trump demanded that Zelenskyy show more gratitude to his administration, while accusing him of ‘disrespecting the US’.

Trump also told him that he needs to make a deal with Putin or ‘we are out’, threatening to cut US support for Kyiv.

    As insane as this is, Trump and Vance have not forgotten that Zalensky aligned himself with Kamala Harris before the election. So, they are wanting to see some ‘Humble Pie’ eaten. Its difficult for Zalensky to nagivate this hard feeling, and addressing it directly might be counter productive. It will probably work out in the end. Edit: its shocking how many downvotes this comment has already. Particularly as its just an overview of that position of things, not a personal opinion!

      Trump proposes bad deal for Ukraine, expects Zelensky to sign it and lick their boots tso they can say they’ve “shown his his place”.

      It was never about Ukraine, it was a power move that failed because the whole fucking USA president office is a giant bad joke.

      Don’t fucking run apologetics for the filthy fucking nazi traitor scum. This shit is absolutely unexcusable. Trump needs to be removed and tried for treason immediately.
