EU arriving at WH to 'make sure that Zelensky can't be belittled by Trump in front of the world.'

I think there might be something truthful about this phase--IMHO it is less likely that someone would make fun of Zelenskyy---or try to demean him with several EU leaders surrounding him.
(like the WH did during his last visit). I think Trump will be on his 'good' behavior -for these few hours at least.

BREAKING: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz
just arrived at the White House to meet with Trump, Zelensky and other European leaders, and make sure that Zelensky can't be belittled by Trump in front of the world.

Further proof that the President of the United States is in constant, non-stop need of keepers, like some zoo animal. The humiliation just never ends.

Hoping by making it 8 to 1 he will capitulate to them today. They have seen how easy he capitulates under pressure. They have seen him give away the farm to Putin and need to turn it around.
