US president said his horrific blow-up would make ‘great television’ – the White House has never seen anything like it

Summary

Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.

Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.

During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”

The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.

    What an abhorrent example of humanity they both are and what an embarrassment to the world this is.

      I’m assuming you mean Trump and Vance.

        Ha! Given the insanity of this interview, I didn’t think I needed to clarify.

          Another right wing propaganda:

          These people are absolutely fucking insane.

          If you look on ground news you can see all the different ways this was covered by news media. They’re all pretty fucked up to be honest, but surprisingly, there is some right-wing media covering it in a more sane way.

          (This is not a paid ad I just like ground news)

          You shouldn’t, but check out this Politico article started with:

          Russian leaders cheered after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance dealt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a brutal smackdown in the Oval Office Friday

          It’s amazing how we see a petulant man-child throwing a fit and they see “a brutal smackdown”. The propaganda is evident.
