ART OF THE DEAL: Krasnov yelling obscenities at Zelensky, demanding that he gives Putin whatever he wants.

In a private meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, Trump urged him to concede a significant amount of territory to Russia or face destruction, a meeting that devolved into a “shouting match” with Trump “cursing all the time,” according to insiders who spoke with the Financial Times in its report Sunday.

“If [Putin] wants it, he will destroy you,” Trump reportedly told Zelenskyy in the closed-door meeting, according to who the Financial Times described as a “European official with knowledge of the meeting,” speaking with the outlet on the condition of anonymity.

According to the insiders who spoke with the Financial Times, Trump “threw Ukraine’s maps of the battlefield” during the tense meeting, urging Zelenskyy to surrender parts of the eastern Donbas region which still remain under Ukrainian control. The concession Trump proposed would be in exchange for Russia ceding small regions near the southern and southeastern Ukrainian cities of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, respectively – the former now under Ukrainian control and the latter under Russian control.

But for some Ukrainian officials, surrendering the Donbas region was a nonstarter.

1. Trump was ordered to get this done

[ananda]

23. Yes, he sounds desperate!

Putin applied the hot tongs.

[Champp]

44. Yes, he was ordered to help destroy Ukraine and democracy

so he's shitting all over the damn place

Where are the epstein GOP pedo files?

[wcmagumba]

2. OMG trumpy,,,please step down, you are one demented SOB...

[newdeal2]

3. What a disgrace

He takes orders from Putin like a good boy.

[bluestarone]

4. Zelenskyy better rethink going to Budapest with this MONSTER!!!

No way in Hell should he go.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Trump would disclose Zelensky security info to Putin.

And put Zelensky in harm's way.

[sop]

18. Zelenskyy should never trust Trump.

[2naSalit]

19. Pretty sure...

He knows better than to "trust" this fucking conman criminal rapist murderer.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Yep. Zelensky has not stayed alive this long with a big target on his back by being stupid.

Putin has wanted him dead from day one.

[wolfie001]

30. We Americans don't trust the fat orange imbecile either

The smart half of the electorate that is.

[vapor2]

5. So Russia is now our ally and Ukraine our enemy?

Why does Zelensky even bother to meet with this vile monster, not to mention fucking Hegseth wearing a Russian tie. This all makes me vomit

[Irish_Dem]

7. Zelensky will try any thing to save his people.

Even meet with a monster who wants to destroy him.

[Miles Archer]

10. I'd say that going the distance with Trump, as odious as that sounds...

...cements Zelensky's standing with the rest of the global community. No one can say "he didn't try," and the WORLD is witnessing Trump's loyalty to Putin, and is taking notes.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes exactly. The world knows he has walked thru Sh*t to help his country.

And it helps the morale of his people who know he has their back as they face
a torturous war.

[Javaman]

22. This week

Next week, who knows.

Our bi-polar prezzzz will change his “mind” several more times

[Irish_Dem]

28. I seriously think Trump is bipolar.

Every time I see that Oval Office decor I am convinced of it.

[Wednesdays]

41. Manic, definitely.

The depressive part, not so much.

[Irish_Dem]

43. We don't know, because he is a long time stimulant addict.

Which he could use to cover up a depression.
But the manic could be caused by his use of uppers.
He has been doing cocaine and adderall for decades.

To make a correct diagnosis, he would have to go into detox,
stay off illicit drugs for 6 months and then we would take a look
at him again.

[BeyondGeography]

8. IOW it was a closed door version of the Live Oval Ambush

The day after he asked Putin what he thought about sending Tomahawks to Ukraine. Appeasement on steroids mixed with his pathetic Nobel fixation. The only difference with the earlier shit show is this time he didn’t have the guts to do it in public.

What an utter embarrassment he is.

[johnnyfins]

9. What a weak, ineffective, leader.

I am reminded of a Nick Lowe lyric:

"So where are the strong, and who are the trusted?"

[usonian]

11. Is he playing both sides again?

On again, off again.

Damn dangerous game. I wonder if he's buttering up Putin for the next "Sell me those (literally) fucking videos" photo opp and secret bidding war.

Playing poker with his tiny hands?

[Javaman]

24. Problem is, he ain't playing with a full deck. nt

[Nictuku]

12. Rare Earth materials?

I would guess that the territory that is in question here is an area that has a lot of financial value, if developed.

[Crunchy Frog]

17. The area that Putin wants is of tremendous strategic value.

It's where Ukraine has its strongest defensive lines going back to 2014. If Putin took it, it would become much easier for him to take much more of the country, and of course he wouldn't be stopping there. It really serves as Ukraine's bulwark.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

13. Had trump been prez in the '90s, Iraq would own Kuwait!

[Dave Bowman]

29. If he had been in the 40s we would all speak German.

[Irish_Dem]

34. If Trump had been prez in the 40's, we would be speaking German now.

Would have sold the US to Hitler for a nice price.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. The EU must go it alone

Give Ukraine what it needs, including UK and French nukes.

Force Trump to threaten to send US troops to fight alongside Russian and North Korean troops, in the months before the midterms.

You know he would.

[surfered]

15. If Venezuela invaded Florida, would Trump agree to let them keep Mar-a-Lago?

[Joinfortmill]

20. Zelenskyy should not bother to meet with Trump again

Europe will support him.

[republianmushroom]

21. The puppet telling Zelensky what the puppet master wants.

[Amaryllis]

25. Wonder if Z had anyone in there with him. he showed up at the Whilte House by himself.

[bronxiteforever]

26. His signature peace deal is presently on fire

Big Loser energy. He just wants to post memes at night of how he wants to shit on the American people.
I imagine his presidential library ,funded by consumers of the three billionaire automatons, will have a “Hall of Memes” to inspire the ignorant voters of years to come.

[Buckeyeblue]

31. It's so confusing. One day Trump supports Ukraine, the next he doesn't

What does Putin have on Trump? Of course, we all think we know. But damn. This is crazy.

[niyad]

36. Whatever putler has on the wanna-be dictator goes far beyond pee

tapes and even what is still left of the trumpstein files.

[chowder66]

32. This is because he's now so much more sure of himself after telling Hamas they would face destruction and

getting a "ceasefire" for a hot minute.

He thinks this is the way to handle all conflicts now. Do as I say or you will face destruction!!

[COL Mustard]

33. President Chamberlain

Calls for peace in our time, version 2.0. Didn’t work then: won’t work now.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

35. What an asshole.

Insane MFer.

[Sneederbunk]

37. Can't remember any prior president being so afraid of a Russian leader.

[allegorical oracle]

38. Putin is either blackmailing djt, or is promising zillions of dollars to the

dumpster for some deal. Outright fear -- or promise of great wealth are the sole two motivations that stir djt into action.

[struggle4progress]

39. "Fuck you! I want a Nobel Peace Prize you lil shit! And I'll yell til I get it!"

[Wednesdays]

42. TSF wouldn't yell.

He'd hold his breath until he turned blue.

[mucifer]

40. trump is a sadist. he told Zelensky he would

support Ukraine just so he could enjoy the lie and see his reaction when he pulled the rug out.

[D_Master81]

45. Because

He yells at Zelenskyy because he pisses himself in the presence of Putin so he think he can be the bully to end the fighting when he meets with Ukraine.
