Honestly, I am probably never going to treat Trump voters like serious people ever again.

He wasn’t on his knees begging

One doesn't respect a bully. Trump's bravado is nothing more than thug behavior. He's the highest placed representative of the United States and should act with more decorum even in the face of *perceived* slights.

There was NOTHING Zelenskyy said or did to be disrespectful, so they made up some fucking nonsense to pretend he was.

The thing he did that pissed off trump/Vance was telling the truth about Putin. That is what really triggered those pathetic worms.

Wonder if it something to do with Zelensky not signing a deal that was terrible for the Ukraine...🤔

barolo24.bsky.social•2 days ago

@eamonjavers.bsky.social @nytimes.com @cnbc.com Was it his attire?😥. This reporting is confirmation among other tells, Trump and Vance set Zelenskyy up. A sad day in American history as we are now part of the axis of evil.

Zelensky was badmouthing Putin. Watch it again. You can see Trump getting more uncomfortable and angrier as Zelensky started talking about Putin.

She said Zelensky was folding his arms, rolling his eyes and his posture indicated a lack of respect. She also pointed to Zelensky calling Vice President Vance “JD,” instead of “Mr. Vice President.” And she said White House officials were annoyed Zelensky did not wear a suit in the Oval Office.

“Governor Trudeau”

jsatz.bsky.social•2 days ago

The last time I checked, Justin Trudeau was also the head of a “sovereign country” and that didn’t stop Trump from calling him “governor.”

Damn, that’s soft as hell.

eamonjavers.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mentioned that the White House did not have a problem with Elon Musk appearing recently in the Oval Office in a T shirt and baseball cap. But Leavitt explained that was different because Musk is not the leader of a sovereign nation.

boisejim7.bsky.social•2 days ago

Actually, Elon does appear to be the leader of a sovereign nation at the moment- in deeds if not title.

ricklarios.bsky.social•2 days ago

And, of course, it was all a lying pretext to distract from Trump and Vance's betrayal of an ally in favor of a dictator's barborous invasion of a sovereign nation.

mystiansky.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think he is …

winterink.bsky.social•2 days ago

Doesn’t it make it worse that Musk has a lower diplomatic rank and still dressed down?

nacifan.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good follow up. So it’s not about his clothing. It’s about being anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia, got it.

clond.bsky.social•2 days ago

So... leaders of a sovereign nation are NOT allowed to wear what they want, but unelected billionaires who are ostensibly subjects to your own sovereign nation are?

That logic is so incredibly Trumpian

justmissedit.bsky.social•2 days ago

...so he gets to wear what he wants? No no, let's follow this train of thought Caroline, go on

real2roosters.bsky.social•2 days ago

Is she sure about that?

Does Musk know this?

'Musk is not the leader of a sovereign nation.'

Could have fooled us...

moar2ax.bsky.social•2 days ago

mmm idk about that one

various-threnodies.bsky.social•2 days ago

Who’s going to be the one to tell Musk he isn’t?

karithemed.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can’t imagine why he might lack respect for an “ally” who negotiated directly with the enemy, didn’t include him, and is claiming all his country’s resources for “protection” - no security promises included. All while demanding fealty and “respect” from him.

Respect is earned, not demanded.

smlrun.bsky.social•1 day ago

if i believe that then. i the media r idiots. trump is putin puppet. that’s it pro russia. america is embarrassment right now with this garbage as a leader

You’re granted respect when you’ve earned it, these guys are such children

It was pretty clearly when Zelenskyy (correctly) pointed out that what happens in Ukraine will be felt in the US

chuckalexander.bsky.social•2 days ago

Zelenskyy implies that Putin will take advantage of Trump and Trump’s ego crumbles. It eats him alive. Trump can’t help himself. It sets Trump off that he would be lesser than anyone. He hears his father saying it in his head. His only defense mechanism is complete denial.
