But we know Zelensky has more class in one eyelash than Trump will ever have.

Right now Doocy set Trump up yet again to sit there and rant about all his personal hatey hates instead of sticking with the reason Zelesky is there.

One think that came out is Trump admitted Ukraine has been paying for weapons all along. It has profited American weapons makers, not cost the taxpayers. Totally contrary to the MAGA claims all this time.

Against his country gets even more challenging for Ukraine if the USA openly joins an alliance with russia against Ukraine.

asked Zelenskyy at the last meeting why he didn't wear a suit and if he owned a suit.
I remember his reply about wearing a better suit after the war is over.
Today, when Brian Glenn complemented Zelenskyy on his suit, I loved Zelenskyy's comment about his own nice suit and that Glenn was wearing the same suit as last time. A delayed comeback delivered with levity and subtlety. I have endless respect for Z for so many reasons.

Edited to say it was Brian Glenn from the conservative network Real America's Voice, not Doocy.

The Europeans understand and accept this now. You can't lay it on too thick. And trump will help them by complimenting himself as well, saving them effort.

The only hope I have left is to read a bit later on that Zelensky and the other European negotiators there just looked at each other and walked out en masse.

You can't negotiate with a terrorist and that applies to King Fartblossom as much as it does to Putin.
