Zelenskyy says he had a "good meeting" with the Orange Blowhole

at the pope's funeral. He has to know that he can't trust Trump as far as he can throw him, but Zelenskyy is still trying to be a diplomat and talk sense to the moron.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
@ZelenskyyUa

Good meeting. We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you
@POTUS

They defy logic. They are wired very differently than anyone with a soul.

And they definitely can't be trusted.

The best thing that President Zelenskyy can do and probably all, is to feed this psychopath's ego and use trickery.

Even if Zelenskyy was able to play back Donny's words later, his followers NEVER hold anything against him. He lies and contradicts himself all the time. His MAGA disciples are all-forgiving.

He changes his mind like the wind anyway.

You have to wade through a wordy mire of griping to get to it, but it's there in the last few sentences.



With all that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, though "Banking" or "Secondary Sanctions?" Too many people are dying!!!


1. This conflicts with Witkoff's reports that his cosy chats with Putin are going swimmingly.

2. What the fuck has Trump been watching while Putin's been bombarding countless civilian areas, cities and towns in Ukraine since the beginning of the war - Gorilla Channel?

3. What would the "right" number of people dying be?

4. If he's so worried about Ukraine's civilian areas, cities and towns, how about doing a deal with Zelensky to let Ukraine buy those Patriot systems?

5. Supplying Ukraine with the backlog of aid lined up by Biden would send a clearer message to Putin.

Justice matters.

how does he think President Obama (a real POTUS) could have stopped him from invading Crimea??

Once again, absolute nonsense from the unpunished felon.

Unlike Trump, Zelenskyy is a skilled diplomat and professional politician – the world knows what ‘good meeting’ actually means.
