Any guesses on how he'll embarrass the US today?

I do wonder if he'll have a say regarding Ukraine's European friends who flew here to show their support.
Will Zelenskyy wear a suit as 'requested' and get reamed if he doesn't?
Just displaying all that gaudy faux gold in his office is embarrassing enough.
Sigh.
Inquiring minds...

And I have a shirt that says sorry for our president in several languages that I’ll wear today for Zelensky.

He’ll probably try to get snotty with one or more European leaders and end up with egg on his face.

Guess we ran out of soldiers willing to get on their knees. No warm handshakes or tiny mitts clapping from Agent Orange because President Zelenskyy refuses to bend the knee to the American Crime Boss the way the Boss bent over backwards for his hero Putin.

What will happen? The usual bullying, demands to give land for peace and expect NATO-lite protections which will never materialize.

The next bomb to drop is blaming Zelenskyy for the war and refusing Trump's Big, Beautiful Peace Plan. Zelenskyy and his European delegation will be branded war-mongers because that's how Agent Orange rolls. Then Agent Orange will get on social media and whine that after all his hard, excruciating work, peace remains undone and he's over it because he has better things to do, as in militarizing DC and gutting the rest of America.

I fully expect Trump is ready to pull the US out of NATO on the command of his best friend, The Butcher of Moscow.

Sometimes, the tea leaves read themselves.
