A meeting at the White House between Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump descended into a bitter argument in front of the press in extraordinary scenes as Trump demanded that Zelenskyy show more gratitude to his administration, while accusing him of 'disrespecting the US'.

Trump also told him that he needs to make a deal with Putin or 'we are out', threatening to cut US support for Kyiv.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens. That fucking oompa-loompa blowhard talks loud but needs to STFU.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

I’m just one US citizen but I’d like to apologize to all Ukrainians on behalf of 50% or so of all people here. Our leadership is disgusting.

[–] TsarVul 86 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta say, that was surprisingly hard to watch.

Zelenskyy was gonna get screamed at no matter what. This is just a matter of controlling the narrative and manufacturing consent to stop military aid.

[–] BeMoreCareful 64 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

He did handle it well.

That: "I heard it from Putin" should go down in history.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 18 hours ago

This is one of those clips I just don’t really want to watch, you know? Like two beheadings one cup sort of thing

[–] kikutwo 73 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Vance is a moron. Did you say thank you? Uh, yeah just today and previously in front of the entire house of representatives Bozo.

[–] Subtracty 37 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't think it was possible to find a more irritating person to listen to than Trump. But this idiot proved me wrong. What a sniveling little evil henchman.

[–] coyootje 15 points 21 hours ago

It's insane that Trump has both manchild JD and mega cringelord Elon on his team. If Elon and Vance ever do an event together the venue will implode from their lack of charisma.

[–] lemmylommy 40 points 21 hours ago

The “we are out” was the point of the whole thing. Trump never negotiated in good faith.

[–] PugJesus 65 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Jesus fucking Christ. What a fucking slug Trump is.

[–] Pondis 54 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

Its all going according to Russias plan. Make Zelensky look like a bad guy to the MAGA freaks who wont argue when the full invasion happens.

Its pretty clear its on Europe to keep the continent safe. The US is out of the conflict.

[–] grue 15 points 20 hours ago

The US is out of the conflict.

Maybe, if Europe is lucky. The other very real possibility is that the US has switched sides.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, my first thought what that they were really giant thin skinned snowflakes, but it’s more likely their plan was to latch onto anything and get heated in an attempt to bait Zelensky into an outburst.

  • Make Zelensky the bad guy
  • Walk away from negations
  • Declare the only way to bring PEACE to Ukraine is to send US troops in to halt the fighting
  • Continue working towards giving it to Putin
[–] dhork 15 points 21 hours ago

Zelenskiy should turn around and give that mineral deal to the EU

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

The US is out of the conflict.

Until they turn to focus on Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and Panama.

[–] PugJesus 6 points 23 hours ago

Yeah.

Fuck.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 23 hours ago

Who's the dictator here exactly?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 21 hours ago

HE’S NOT SPEAKING LOUDLY!

I’m still baffled that so many people think this toddler is competent.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 22 hours ago

That video is hard to watch.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I think it’s disgusting that trump and Vance are so blind to the fact that Zelenskyy has done a lot more for his country in a war than trump or Vance would do in 4 years for America.

[–] jamie_oliver 16 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They're not blind, they are fascists trying to normalize invasions and dictatorships.

They are not idiots, they are evil.

[–] CitizenKong 5 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Trump is definitely also an idiot.

[–] jamie_oliver 1 points 8 hours ago

I feel like that rethoric does more harm than good. You don't accidentally mobilize and radicalize a large part of the American people. That is calculated behavior. Everyone not taking him seriously are part of the problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

“Idiot” is an understatement

Eyeliner VP boy.

Maybe he’s born with it, maybe it’s maybelline.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Do not under any circumstances give into the Orange Turd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I was just looking at another post of this in the same instance and it was deleted. Tf?

[–] Carmakazi 11 points 22 hours ago

Might be because it was a twitter link.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

What this fuck is this even. Not a single coherent sentence spoken, I wouldn't say you can even call this a conversation, just unintelligible babbling from both sides.

[–] TrickDacy 3 points 16 hours ago

Zelensky is only not understood because he's being yelled over
