I doubt that thereβs a more mortifying and repugnant treatment of a foreign leader by a president in American history. Somebody needs to spank Trump and Vance and send them to bed without any dinner. Heβs a historic, national embarrassment.
Trump wants to be an autocrat like Vladimir Putinβand that starts with collecting cowardly oligarchs who pay you to be kind to them. He has that.
Now he's moved on to trying to create vassal states like Russia has Belarus. He wants Ukraine to be a vassal state and is enraged that Zelenskyy refuses.
Trump and Vanceβs meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today βgave the lie to any claim that this administrationβs policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,β @davidfrum.bsky.social writes.

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.
setting aside the fact that the entire white house staff is utterly poisoned by online in a way that actually exceeds any democratic staffer, it is incredibly pathetic that they look at trump's temper tantrum and see "strength"

Trumpβs disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.
Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.
Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.
Donald Trump is Putinβs puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.
BREAKING: In a shocking confrontation, Trump & Vance berated Zelensky for not being grateful enough for U.S. supportβpushing Ukraine's leader to make a peace deal on American terms. Jen Rubin and Ilan Goldenberg discuss the dangerous implications.
The leaders of France, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Norway, Ireland and Spain have all tweeted support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine over Trump.
Putin thought he could divide Europe, and a victory for Trump would weaken the west.
Wrong on both counts.
President Zelenskyy is the leader of the free world.
Donald Trump and JD Vance are Putin's little playthings.
