Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should either show more gratitude for U.S. aid or step down.
His comments follow a heated Oval Office meeting where Zelenskyy clashed with Trump and JD Vance over a U.S.-negotiated mineral rights deal.
Some Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, echoed calls for Zelenskyy’s resignation, while others, like Sen. James Lankford and Sen. Bernie Sanders, opposed the idea.
Johnson defended the deal, arguing it implicitly guarantees Ukraine’s security.
How could anybody watch that interaction and believe that somebody needs to resign over that, but that person isn’t trump? Grandpa threw a temper tantrum and embarrassed the country in front of the entire world. He thinks he’s being strong, but he’s just gifting soft power to the EU when they pick up the check and look like big damn heroes.
The US is circling the drain and his dipshit cultists think this is a win. I fear that we’re already beyond the event horizon.
