Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

Sure of course they will, and will be in full ass-kissing mode as well.

I hope there is an Ukranian type Garvilo Princip waiting for a pop at Trump

Trump is so far up Putins backside it is unreal. I actually think no western leader should be agreeing to visit Trump under the guise of this nonsense.

Diplomacy - Jerry Springer style.

Zelensky has had the weight of the world on his shoulders for the last number of years. Being a leader whilst your people are fighting for their country and their lives. Sending soldiers to the frontline knowing many are going to die. To have Trump and Vance lecture him about being disrespectul when he raised the issue of security guarantees in relation to a ceasefire. I can understand why Zelensky was shaking his head when listening to the lies from Trump and Vance. It mightn't have been the most diplomatic thing to do but when he was listening to the garbage coming from his so called allies, it was perfectly understandable.

He should bring the Klitschko brothers with him next time Trump decides to lay his hands on him 'strong manning'.

Good.

It was a terrible deal for Ukraine.

Agree. He's trying to look authoritative to his Maga base and earn some brownie points when in fact like all bullies he's really a coward.

maybe VZ should have dressed up in black and with a cap. That type of dress code seems to be ok in the Oval Office and at cabinet meetings!!!!!!!!

The fuckers set him up, tried to humiliate him.

I am wondering why though, their own hubris and idiocy, or something more sinister? It looked like they were going to get their deal, why scupper it now?

Given the way he conducted the meeting, I expect Trump to order Defence Sec Hegseth and the Sec State to cancel all movement of weapons and munitions [including from European forward positions] to Ukraine immediately. The timing of the emails will show how pre-planned his Oval Office abuse of Zelenskyy was.

He didn't.

He left without it being signed.

How could he do anything else.

Why? That pair had decided to ambush him regardless of what he was wearing.

Ball is now in Europe's court. Surely that's the end of US support for UA

You can't polish a turd springs to mind with Trump and Vance.

Most significant moment of the interview for me was when Trump was screaming about the Russian Hoax and Hunter Biden and he said that Putin didn't respect Obama, or Biden, or Bush but he respected him (Trump). Zelensky raised his eyebrow as if to say he has an idea why that is the case.

Incredible stuff. The most shameful moment every captured in the Oval office. Trump and Vance are an abomination. Hopefully Europe gets its act together in a serious way and fills some of the political void on the planet that Trump has created in just 6 weeks.
