And Trump has been obsessed with that for all these years, because he spent so much time relating his version of that event in the middle of yesterday’s debacle. Trump is thinking “payback time”.
Trump bullying as much as he did, threatening that he's such a tough guy, 100%, people that brag that they're a tough guy are usually little whiny babies...
The amazing moment that stood out yesterday was when the doof tried to belittle Zelenskyy by asking him “why you don’t wear a suit” and he answers “when the war is over. I’ll wear a costume.” Zelenskyy read the art of war but actually understood it. A Working President not a callous free golfer
Payback, it's his fault he was impeached. People won't vote for a woman because they are too emotional. What do you call this? The man running the country behaves like a grade schooler. Grudge holding loser.
Not the origin story. The origin story happened years earlier when Trump was cultivated by Putin as a puppet, capitalizing on Trump’s near sociopathic need to seem manly, powerful and more intelligent than he actually is. That was a mere plot point in the path to escalation.
And Trump’s jealousy of the extremely high support and love for Zelensky. Trump can’t stand it-he is the most petty and ignorant person I know of. He’s dangerous and the world is now turning away from us.
EXACTLY! His conspiratorial relationship with Putin is long-standing. He wanted to be POTUS & Putin wanted to buy the U.S. Putin came through with 2 election wins. The WH despot wanted perceived power & money. Again, Putin came thru. The despot recently signed the pact with American blood.
Exactly this, this was the result of a decades long KGB project to compromise high-level Americans and then occupy our country. The Soviets won, we are a satellite state now. Soon, "Russia" will transition back to the USSR.
He's already been impeached twice the 1st time around, how many more times will be needed? And what did it accomplish? Asking, 'cause a large part of Americans still voted this sc*mbag in for a 2nd time.
Yeah that's what made the dancing boy demanding Zelensky thank them, as if they did anything, even a hundred times more disgusting if that was possible
I think it was a really telling moment when Vance mentioned Zelensky “backing the opposition”. We know what this is about. War and international diplomacy are complicated. Trump and Vance are not.
I think he is still angry Obama received the "Peace Prize". He wants to an award for bringing peace too. He just wants peace- but Zelenskyy won't cooperate.
Zelensky refusal is part of the origin. Trump’s goal-hotel in every country is another part. Putin uses Trump’s vindictiveness & desire to build a hotel in Russia as a carrot.
Origin to anything Trump does begins with, “What does Trump get.” What Trump will get-retribution & hotel. Next- Gaza Hotel.
Next will come a renewed call for elections in Ukraine so Putin can install a puppet. The puppet will “make peace” by giving Putin the territory he seized.
They can't insist on elections. There's 0 they can do to insist on elections. Can somebody PLEASE put a hammering on Russia while they're down ? Jfc...What's it gonna take to kick Russia's blustering ass out of Ukraine for good?
Soldiers wouldn't be able to vote because they're in the trenches , polling stations would become an easy target for Russian missiles.
80% of Ukrainians oppose holding wartime elections, defending every inch of Ukraine is their priority.
Of course, Trump never forgets a sleight … he’ll undo every Obama program just to get back at him for humiliating him at the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2016
Mr. Zelenskyy’s September visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant to thank the workers for their help in the war against Russia, with Gov Shapiro. GOP called election interference…But Krasnov can talk with Putin all during Biden’s term and that’s no problem!
What we saw yesterday was Trump exacting his revenge and the absolute betrayal of an ally and then siding with Russia. Trump is so transactional in all his dealings. He said Zelensky wasn’t “thankful” enough and later said the spectacle in the Oval Office would make great television. How sad.
From the outset, the meeting was not a negotiation - it was an ambush. Trump and Vance did not approach the discussion as allies working toward a common goal, but as political figures looking to undermine Ukraine’s position
I have no doubt the questions were planted. If you thought Biden was bad, we’re now going to experience a mean spirited person with aging cognitive impairment. Expect him to golf even more as he is not in control of the presidency.
People owe an apology to all James Bond movies. The movies were mocked for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.
2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.
Actually, it goes back to 2009 when President Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump wants that prize like nothing in life. It's actually the only bit of leverage the EU has. While Putin's got naked pictures and cancelled checks. So far, Vladimir has the stronger hand.
I was just explaining that to my granddaughter.
47 has been after Zelensky since he was told no. 1st impeachment.
Putin waiting until 47 lost in 2020 to invade was planned to make Biden look weak, thinking Biden was weak (wrong). Putin is losing and 47 has been told to fix what he messed up.
After yesterday shameful display it should be apparent to everyone that the “perfect” phone call to President Zelensky was in fact a bully’s attempt at quid pro quo and the impeachment for it was justified.
Right. And in the meantime, a former witness has also testified that he gave false evidence. Bad game on the backs of war victims. I hope the Americans don't lose their pride and do something about it.
It was more humiliating for Trump that the neophyte president he tried to knuckle in 2019 turned out to be a million times the leader and warrior Trump could ever be. Add to that Trump's sycophancy for Putin, and Ukraine was screwed the second that evil maniac won the election.
I believe this but what’s the origin of that phone call? Why did trump think he could manipulate Zelensky back then? All roads lead to Russia for trump so help me connect the dots. I know they’re there I just can’t see them as clearly as this debacle
Would suggest that "the TRussia origin story" began long before that. It goes back to whenever Donald J Trump decided to become beholding to Putin & Russian oligarchs.
Wiki: "Trump enlisted surrogates including personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani & AG William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other governments to cooperate in supporting and legitimizing the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory and other conspiracy theories concerning US politics."
He has Russian ties longer than this. Smearing Zelenskyy is important for pursuing their oligarch agenda of corruption, extortion, and unhinged capitalism.
Trump’s Russia fandom is also very much in favor of the billionaire Thiel who fantasized about states ruled by the rich without restrictions.
Krasnov never forgets anything. He may forgive if he can own you like Cowards Rubio, Lindsey Graham & his Douchebag VP who sold their soul to him. But good honorable ppl like Pres Zelenskyy, Biden, Dr Fauci, Jack Smith, GEN Milley, Liz Cheney are who his vindictive core will always have hatred for.
The origin story for taking over Canada was when Trudeau gave Trump a picture from Canada's archives of his family's illegal brothel in Canada, AS AN OFFICIAL GIFT [shade is Canada's superpower].
He might be senile, but his mind closes over grievances like a steel trap.
He was enraged that Z doing just do his bidding and like Trudeau took it personally and has been on a revenge tour ever since AND the USA is now complicit in that BS
That's exactly what I said yesterday. Trump even brought it up. You know how he projects what he's really about, as soon as he brought the Biden issue up I thought that's what's behind this humiliating display of inhumanity.
Thanks for reminding me. So it's really more of petty retribution for not helping him break the law, along with his love and devotion to Putin , AND the muskrat wants the natural resources. No wonder we went from democracy to a Russian a state so quickly. It all makes sense.
I have to believe that Trump badly over played his hand. The EU is also Ukraine's supporter and patron. Ultimately the US has been ostracized and its regional influence diluted by this debacle. Also, many Tump voters didn't sign up for this. There will be a reckoning.
True, but Trump’s animosity has been made worse by all the international praise that Zelensky has received. We’ve seen repeatedly that he can’t stand seeing other people being praised. Just look at how he hates Dr Fauci.
In my opinion Zelensky would not approve of using his image in this AI creation; this violent scene is not helpful.
I continue to hope that Zelensky & the other European leaders find a diplomatic way to convince Trump to rejoin the effort to kick Putin's butt out of Ukraine. 🙏
Thank you. I enjoyed doing that. I do a lot of this sort of thing. I guess I'll give a plug for PowerDirector. I've been using it for several years now and it has served me well. It's a great app.
No, it is not. The origin story goes back to when no one in the United States banking system would loan him money. So he turned to “foreign” investors. This is their ROI (return on investment).
That's as obvious as the orange make-up he slaps on to make him feel like a real man. trumsky has bought up the Russia hoax at every press conference this week before President Zelenskys visited. He'd been following putins' talking points all week. Trump was never going to help President Zelensky
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! Finally someone points this out.
4 motivations of trump that allow you to project all his actions: self-aggrandizement, self-enrichment, grudge settling and staying out of jail. I’m never wrong when I predict what he’ll do.
Trump is mad about the phone call AND he thinks that Zelensky helped campaign for Harris. He wanted to make him beg. Trump only likes money, power, and attention. I think that I am angrier at all the Republicans like Graham who refuse to stand up for what's right. It's infuriating and embarrassing.
I Think so too.
Mr. Trump doesn't forget and doesn't forgive people who didn't comply to his demands. His brain works selectivly. I am waiting for all the judges, the prosecutors and the jurors who where part of his trials to be prosecuted.
Exactly, it’s all about retribution, same as the firings of those involved with J6, the generals who dared disagreeing with him. It’s not about America it’s about loyalty to this Highness.

you completely forgot other presidents have literally fought wars to defend America ?

I hope the backlash exceeds their expectations.
It should--by a lot.

I think it would be best for all concerned if he retired as soon as a suitable successor can be found.
Immediately vanishing into thin air would be acceptable.

And how does he keep track of them all? A rolodex?

Its not too much of a stretch to think that the goings on at Epstein island were reported straight back to the FSB.
Its also no coincidence that trump took the Mar a Lago boxes back yesterday too.
Also, bravo for the sound effects. I clapped along!
Neither do we

These are man babies.
The US has a president who is a. Joke
Trump is a vile, vengeful, venal wannabe mob boss.
