Bullies and men who realize their mediocrity. Both Vance and Trump would have fled when the Russians first invaded, not stay and fight together.
Plus, it can't be easy for Zelinskyy to ask so many countries for help. It takes character and humility and hope for a better future for all.
As a first-generation Ukrainian-American (who was also called a Nazi when this all started), I am between tears and just outright sobbing. I hope my father doesn't see it on the news but he will. You can see the hurt it does to his soul each time and it's becoming more than we can handle at times.
Hell yes. The hypocrisy runs deep with those two. Staging a vile, disgraceful embarrassment from the White House, in the presence of Russian state media as a gift to Putin, then Vance berates Zelenskyy for correcting them in the presence of the American media? Their doing. #TrumpRussia #TrumpUnfit
And a lovely site, especially in front of a Russian news reporter. The alliance is shifting before our eyes. Just as we watched the tourists take over the Capitol.
I was so afraid that Zelensky would sign without a guarantee of security for his country that I couldn’t watch. Zelensky remains a HERO and very brave leader unlike our bullies-in-chief. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
I can't shake the anger and disgust I feel today. I am so triggered that I am close to tears. Tears of anger and disgust, but also of hurt for a wonderful brave man who has more courage in his little finger than Trump and Vance can ever hope to possess
I've done nothing but cry all day. Just like last weekend. I can't believe we're living in this nightmare. I can't believe he's managed to trample on the wonderful relationships this country has been fortunate to enjoy since 1945. We will now be international pariahs, and I am afraid 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Thank you. Although he was bragging about how he had won all the states I suspect there was interference via Starlink or some other Musk computer network. Trump and Musk have implied as much at different times also but no one had the backbone to demand a recount. Too traumatized after 2020 & 1/6?
I feel outraged and disgusted. Two putrid pigs with weak egos easily damaged. I hope when they are nestled hiding in their bunker they are told no help is available
It became quickly apparent that he is caught between two tyrants. I am ashamed beyond words that Trump is our president. We have had not so great ones in both parties but Trump doesn’t even come close to the bottom. He’s a maggot.
Rachel Maddow on NBC news pointed out that it was planned and rehearse. They had already cut off electricity in the Ukraine. Trump talked two days ago to Putin. They invited Russian TV to live stream the event
Stuffed Shirt Vance (puppet for Theil-Musk plans for a post-Trump presidency) participated as co-thug with Trump. Vance and Trump showed the world they are political mobsters, not leaders for a better world. The moral collapse of the GOPutinist party was on full display. American must change-fast!
Had to take some calming glycerite and turn off the tech, crochet with a cat purring by my side, and listen to some Vivaldi for an hour to let the feeling pass.
It was not only revolting, but far too reminiscent of abusive people in my past.
I had to turn it off, calm down, and then force myself to watch more. It was one of the most upsetting moments I’ve had in relation to politics and Trump. Truly horrifying and personally triggering.
Watching just a little of it made me want to punch the Americans. From asking why Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing a suit to “don’t tell us how we’ll feel!” - it was all just disgusting.
Damn. I am livid that we have those two assholes in charge of our government. They bullied perhaps the world’s bravest President of the past century. Zelensky did not deserve to be treated like that.
Absolutely disgraceful. He's a thug. A bully. And he gets away with it. He makes me so mad everytime I hear him. And his faithful lapdog sucking up to him. So Zelensky campaigned for the opposition? Good for him. That was a president who didn't try to extort him.
I've seen short clips, and it turns my stomach. Why don't you wear a suit??? For crying out loud was that actually asked. These American officials ganging up on this beleaguered and courageous ally, peppering him with criticism and speaking to him as if he'd been called into the principal's office.
Zelensky could have said “So sorry, my best suit was in a building Russia bombed. Couldn’t have another one made b/c the Russians bombed my tailor’s shop and murdered him along with thousands of our citizens. I’ll buy a new one just as soon as they get the fuck out of my country. Now you fuck off!”
Why does this bronze buffoon always need to reduce life and death problems into a shit show episode of bad reality TV. Somebody needs to tell this aspiring dicktator that he's no longer on the Apprentice. We're talking war, not business deals made in front of the world's press. Shameful!
So sick to my stomach. To watch a bunch of bullies ask Zelensky if he has even thanked them? The two of them taking turns taking shots as Zelensky who tried to say what his country has been through with peace deals. So embarrassing that our country has a bunch of Putin puppets.
As a Canadian I’m shocked at the disrespect to President Zelensky but also not shocked as our Prime Minister has been disrespected by Trump & his staff on many occasions. #slavaukraine
I am a childhood sexual abuse survivor. It's clear now that we are governed by a cult of coercion, violence, and a powerful need to rape in ways beyond the body.
Yes. And now Zelensky will need to rely on European help. Scratch US. I am so mad disgusted with our "leaders" Zelensky was the only adult in the room.
Europe was doing far more than the USA was anyhow, and they WILL step up. I wonder how all the DOD contractors who were building the equipment we were sending are going to feel now that we don't need their stuff anymore... oh well...
Sad ppl don’t see Z as rude. Z behaved disrespectfully. I’m Japanese. In my culture we still bow to the enemy. Judo masters do not react to the enemy how Z did. The best way to deal with enemy is with honey not vinegar. For peace there must be concessions on all sides or more sons will die
Why should there be concessions when Russia aggressively invaded a sovereign country? They do not deserve ‘concessions’ that would fundamentally change the lives of those living there without consent.
They invaded because James Baker in 1990 deal with Gorbachev said NATO would not expand one inch eastward yet that is what is happening and why shit hit the fan. Russia doesn’t want western values, or Ukraine a NATO ally. The agreement was broken, so why they invaded to protect their interests
You would not show any gratitude if I gave you 1M to fight a bully? You would call me a bitch? Instead I would say thank you for all you have provided and I want to do a deal to pay you back. I appreciate your generosity. Do you think Orange Man would have had dinner with Z?
In conflict resolution the you always have bullies. In David and Goliath, David used skill and strategy. Z failed. He needs to learn Judo and see that you need to beat the bully by manners. Do what works! Put aside ego and do what works! I don’t want more fathers dead and the war to end.
I look for the solution. Or compromise. Know your enemy and if he needs manners don’t call him a bitch. Instead be courteous and you’ll have orange man giving you the support! That’s how I dealt with bully ex husband
What is in excusable? How Z behaved? If you gave a friend 1M dollars to help them fight a divorce and then they came into your house & yelled at you and didn’t show thx for your $ given for aid, that is rude and why the fall out. Manners are a tactic to win the enemy. Try it.
No im wise. I know that to have influence you must have manners. You value family. I would kiss trumps boots to keep my son alive. I would give my own life. Are manners that hard so your sons don’t go to war, and die?
I feel angry and outraged - disgraceful behaviour. They have brought shame on their ‘precious Oval office’ and embarrassed America in front of the world. Putin will be laughing and celebrating though.
I did get angry, but then I realized how stupid and infantile Herr Trump & JD were and I had to laugh at the buffoons.
I sure to admire Zelanskyy for handling the toddlers so well, so calmly.
Z needs manners. Z behaved disrespectfully. I’m Japanese. In my culture we still metaphorically bow to the enemy. Judo masters do not react to the enemy how Z did. The best way to deal with enemy is with honey not vinegar. For peace there must be concessions on all sides or more sons will die
It was awful and so they were so disrespectful like bullies in a playground,but what do you want from a bunch of goons.
He should have never ever came to see dumpf,
Being talked down to by the person supporting your abuser... 😤 I'm sure he had plenty of rage building inside but the fact that he didn't just stand up and go hog wild shows a willpower that you just have to admire.
Actually I felt strength seeing someone stand up to the bullies with the cameras rolling. I also saw one man look much dumber than he purportedly is and another sit there silently for minutes looking weak like a weak old lion going in for the kill only once the lionesses did all the work.
The one being bullied displayed restraint and dignity and did as much as possible to push back without inflaming more than this US-Russia production was already designed to do. But yes we have abusive bullies threatening and trying to intimidate the world
They are so feckless as they happily dance into fascism and war. They deserve to suffer what will be the horrific consequences of these actions. I just wish they weren’t taking down the rest of us too.
Oh my god I’m still shaking. 🫨 I’m so fucking angry I feel that I cannot stand this for one more minute and then I remember—oh shit—we’re in this for the long haul.
The fight of our lives. Maybe a temporary secession of blue states from red might not be such a bad idea. We need a separation.
Are you serious??&^$#@!
I want to throw up all over them...and whisk Mr. ZELENSKYY to my kitchen for something good.
Oh. So. Mortified.
Triggered is an understatement
It was very disturbing to watch. Here is a president, living through war for the past 3 years, and he's being bullied about his clothes and not saying "thank you" enough? WTF! My heart breaks for Zelenskky and his country 😥
When Trump put his hands on Zelensky I almost got sick. I’m 52 years old and I’ve never seen anything like it. I finally, actually live in TheTwilight Zone.
Yes and I'm still fucking pissed.
Not suppose to hate, but I hate those MFers, Trump, Vance and the rest of the republicans with every fiber of my being.
I felt sick to my stomach, I turned the channel. I have never been so completely ashamed of being an American. They do not possess one thread of decency, none! This is the 39th day of this nightmare. God help us!
Zelenskyy came to the White House expecting to negotiate a minerals deal for a U.S. guarantee of security. As I saw it, he was expected to sign away Ukraine's mineral wealth without assurance the U.S. would defend them from Putin. It was an ambush and Zelenskyy virtually "spit in their eye."
The world knows that America is different from this unbelievably bad president and his helpers. But the world has underestimated the danger posed by the rich worldwide.

The lack of collective action by the US populace in response is perhaps even more disturbing.
I stand with Ukraine.
Watching here from the U.K. I’m still stunned that your country voted in such a bully, who has not a shred of compassion, to be president.
Solidarity with those of you who are decent and caring people.
Fat couch Fucker 😄

What disgusting sub-humans those two are!
President Zelenskyy held his own and escorted him himself out instead of given into the bully.
Made me sick
We will never be a part of this Horror Show. 🇨🇦
And staged Brian Glenn, MTG's lover, as the pompous reporter arrogantly asking Zelensky if he owns a suit
All staged to try to brutally belittle President Zelensky just for their soulless egos

The USA under the Trump administration is now a pariah State.
Russia is now emboldened by the President of the United States.
Rat
Unapologetically
Murdering
Millions
I sure to admire Zelanskyy for handling the toddlers so well, so calmly.
Honorable and Dignified

bullying = trying to intimidate
It's a lousy tactic and empowered Zelensky and all of his admirers and followers.
Not suppose to hate, but I hate those MFers, Trump, Vance and the rest of the republicans with every fiber of my being.
The other one is talking about it being ‘good television’.
