I think this was a setup by Trump and regime?

Bully Zelenskyy into submission and sign over everything to Trump then Trump will allow Putin to finish the invasion?

Zelenskyy already knew what was going to happen and he went to show everyone what he was dealing with regarding this regime. The more he show what they are about and what they are trying to steal from Ukraine, the less support the orangeanus will have.
