Trump got mad bc Zelensky denied him that big TV moment he craved. THE BIG WIN.

Since Day One, Trump has been looking for some kind of achievement he can parade around.

That's why he wants to buy or invade Greenland. "Look at me! This is my legacy! I did this!"

That's why he wants to invade Canada. "Look at me! This is my legacy! I did this!"

That's why he wants to invade Mexico. "Look at me! This is my legacy! I did this!"

That's why he wants to invade Panama. "Look at me! This is my legacy! I did this!"

That's why he wants the Gaza-strip. "Look at me! This is my legacy! I did this!"

That's why he even cared about ISIS, that's why he founded the Space-Force, that's why he ordered Jared to broker a peace-deal between the Israelis and Palestinians.



And this, and only this, is the reason why he even cares about the war in Ukraine. HE WANTS A PLACE IN THE HISTORY-BOOKS AS THE GUY WHO NEGOTIATED AN IMPOSSIBLE PEACE-DEAL.

He had already written his victory-speech:
"They said nobody could do it, but I did it. They said, Mr President please help us. This is impossible. It cannot be done, and I did it. You know peace, I love peace. Such a lovely word: peace. I did it. It wouldn't have been possible without me. And frankly, Europe owes us a great deal of gratitude and they better say some nice things about us."



And then this ungrateful scumbag Zelensky demands that this wonderful, impossible peace-deal guarantees peace for Ukraine. And just like that Trump's big moment was ruined.

That's why these baboons badgered Zelensky about being "grateful" when he continually thanked Trump.
They did not want gratitude or respect from Zelensky.
He was just a prop in Trump's historic TV-moment.
And the prop refused to do as it was told.

Bill O'Reilly: Trump wants Nobel Peace Prize via Ukraine peace deal

Veteran journalist Bill O’Reilly said Monday that President Trump seeks to end the war in Ukraine partly to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

“I know exactly what Trump is aiming for. He would like to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize,” O’Reilly said on NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

“That may or may not happen,” he added. “That’s not the most honest organization over in Norway, but he wants to get this thing settled.”.....

At the United Nations in New York, the U.S. voted against a resolution condemning Russia as the aggressor. This decision aligned the U.S. with Russia and 16 other countries, including North Korea and Syria, while opposing longtime allies such as France, Germany and Canada.

Trump, who in the last two weeks has blamed Ukraine for triggering a war against its invader and called Zelensky a dictator, said he would rather not explain the rationale behind the vote when asked about it in the Oval Office, saying it was “self-evident.”

Putin does not want peace but will use trump to buy time to rebuild his forces and rearm. trump's desire for the Peace Prize is the reason why he is selling out President Zelensky and Ukraine

5. Donald Trump thought extorting Ukraine again for Putin would earn him a Nobel peace prize.

trump is extremely jealous of President Obama for getting the Nobel Peace Price and really wants one. trump's assholes have nominated trump for this price numerous times. trump thought that if he forced Zelenskyy to give Putin everything Putin wanted, then the Peace Prize was his.



Donald Trump thought extorting Ukraine again for Putin would earn him a Nobel peace prize. The Rapist the felon and the coup plotter who got people killed, cheated on every wife, lies to our faces and staged an assassination and got more people killed. Who also lied about a deadly virus getting THOUSANDS killed thinks he deserves a Nobel Peace prize. Let that sink in.

7. Sweden's proximity to Russia seems not to be a part of his calcuations to get a Nobel Prize like Pres. Obama

He is still envious of Obama no doubt. A peace without security won't fly in Europe.
