From the article:

“The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week.”

So the meeting with Zelenskyy was, in fact, a manufactured publicity stunt.

You’re absolutely right, haha. Prior to the address, media outlets were describing this as the admin’s chance to “answer” to congress and provide an outline for moving forward. That clearly wasn’t what this was going to be.

I’m not sure I’ve seen this many words used to say absolutely nothing. The intent seems to be literally just worship slop. I think a bot could’ve been more substantive….
