After the combative Oval Office meeting, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Zelenskyy 'can come back when he is ready for peace,' upending talks to ending the war in Ukraine.
He could have waited until they finish talking and say exactly what he was going to say. It came out unprofessional.
So he was just supposed to sit there and say nothing while Vance dresses him down like a cuck for the world to see?
World leaders don’t do that. Macron didn’t let Trump finish when Trump was lying, and neither did Stammer. Zelensky shouldn’t be expected to do it either.
Not that Trump is professional, but Trump is a Trump
That is absolutely no excuse. Plus, it was Vance who started it. He knows better, and chose to insult Zelensky anyway.
and in the end Zelensky was there to ask for support.
Asking for support does not and should not require the political equivalent of having to go on live television and beg mommy and daddy for a few table scraps while they tell you that you aren’t being thankful enough for being allowed to sit at the adults table in the first place.
Their whole purpose was to make Zelinsky come over and kiss the ring, and then embarrass him in front of the world stage. They had Russian media there, but AP and Reuters were banned. MTG’s husband asked why the man didn’t wear a suit. And Vance and Trump just kept dressing him down over and over again. The whole point was to embarrass the man on the world stage to please almighty Putin.
Instead he tried to demand it. Dumb.
The man stood up for his country, and refused to turn himself into one of Trump’s cucks. He was perfectly willing to kiss the ring until they decided that he needed to be humiliated too.
Vance had no rights to be there, the only reason he was is so they both could gang up on Zelensky in front of the cameras and bully him, Trump probably felt he was unable to do it alone.
They even got MTG’s pathetic boyfriend in on the act with that question about the suit. The whole meeting was nothing more than an ambush meant to humiliate a man who is not in a geopolitical position to properly defend himself. Vance admitted as much. They’re upset because Trump didn’t make up dirt on Biden to help Trump in 2020 and showed up to stump for Harris last year.
Literally nothing changed for him. At the price of being slightly uncomfortable he could have saved his country. Now he condemned countless lives to the death. Because he couldn’t what? Sit quiet for a minute? Hold his tongue? I bet any> of those people dying right now on the front line would beg him to do it

I fully agree. But to add to it:
