Truly an ambush. It used to be the tradition that former Presidents remain quiet but enough is enough. Trump campaigned against Biden for 4 yrs. It's time for @BarackObama @JoeBiden @BillClinton and GW Bush to step up and speak up. #Trump #Zelenskyy

Trump was desperate for a win. Economy sinking, markets shaky and supporters getting restless. He's been told by Putin, in no uncertain terms, there will be no concessions. Only path for Trump is selling out Ukraine and he blew up when it became clear Zelensky would not play that game.

Real, "You scratch my back, I scratch yours" vibe from it.
Paying his bill from November.

It was clearly a set up ambush. At least the world knows what we’re dealing with here in America now. A treasonous president, vice president and cabinet backed up by a treasonous Republican party.

The fact that Trump repeated the same lines almost verbatim for the press gaggle afterwards, suggests that he memorized them and planned to use them in the meeting when the opportunity arose. It was always going to be a mob hit from the beginning but like everything, they are just bad at execution.

Opinion | It is lie that President Trump is on Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin side Comrade Krasnov is just spokesperson for Kremlin

This meeting was a classic high school bully attack of the smart nice kid they are jealous of.

A possible theory is circulating: Trump is so envious of Obama receiving a Nobel peace prize that it's driving him to making any deal at all with Putin.

It's a nice thought but I am far more inclined to believe Putin is ordering all the shots.

Seems likely, considering this:

With apologies to Marion Barry,

The bitch set me up.

"Why don't you wear a suit?" was truly some middle school tier bullshit. President Zelenskyy knew exactly what he was walking into and Nikita Khrushchev is laughing in his grave.

Of course it was an ambush. Why else would TASS be allowed in to stream it?

Hopefully, a sufficient number of our American brothers and sisters will begin to see that Trump’s leadership is not in alignment with our values. Democracy depends upon an educated populous.

Will there eventually be American boots on the ground on the side of Russia in Ukraine? Is THAT a possibility? Is "Trump Kiev" in the planning already?

Silly pretext. Timing is everything.

Another traitor

The war will end when Ukraine and the rest of Europe decide it will. Trump has abdicated any role in it.

IDEA:

Trump is addressing a
Joint Session of Congress on 3/4/2025.

Every Democrat should attend dressed all in black. When he begins his address rise as one. Stand heads bowed for 5 minutes then unfurl the Ukrainian flag and
WALK THE FUCK OUT IN MASS!!!!

Vance always looks like he had wild heavy drinking night before, not fresh look at all. Very strange for VP.
