Summary
During an Oval Office meeting with British PM Keir Starmer, Trump walked back his recent criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, responding “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that” when asked if he still considered Zelensky a “dictator.”
Trump claimed to have a “very good relationship” with Zelensky despite last week calling him a “dictator without elections” and suggesting he shouldn’t participate in peace negotiations.
Starmer corrected Trump’s claim that European aid to Ukraine was all loans, noting much was “gifted.”
Zelensky is scheduled to visit the White House on February 28 to finalize a critical minerals agreement.
yeah I agree with you there. The risk tho is if Vance becomes President he could probably mess up a whole lot of things quickly in line with their dark enlightenment insanity.
I’ll admit I don’t know much about him, especially being effectively relegated to assistant-vice-president, but I feel like he’d be a bit more stable foreign policy wise. Not necessarily better, but as a Canadian I think I’d sleep better with him as president than what we’ve got now.
True. It would be a gamble… Would the less crazy fringe of the Republican congress go along with Vance if daddy Trump isn’t there to protect him though? I don’t know. A lot of conservatives don’t really like Trump but they’re too afraid of the power he wields over them. It’s possible that would all collapse with Trump’s absence. Unfortunately I think Elon could provide a replacement celebrity to rally around… He brings his own f’ing cult.
What a fuckin’ mess.
FUBAR. That’s what it is.
