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

Zelensky was asked by a journalist was he disrespecting the Oval office dressed like that.

I don't think it's a big issue myself and in a way it helps him stand out but it's not the first time he has been challenged on dress code at summits to be fair.

Does being at war mean never wearing a suit? Is it appropriate to show up at these type of meetings dressed like that when you need to be taken seriously? Personally I don't think so but it's such a minor thing.

JD Vance was the instigator of that unedifying confrontation. He knew exactly what he was doing. Trump did what Trump does.

My heart goes out to Zelensky and the Ukrainian people in this dark time. They set Zelensky up for this, this was their plan.

I am lost for words to describe my hate and disgust for America right now. The sheer disrespect and a pure display of bullying that rat bastard Trump and JD spoke towards Zelensky makes it clear to me that the US is pro Russia. Ukraine should not sign any deal. The US is dead, dust.

Zelensky is the face of Ukraine, an invaded country. What he wears reflects that - sounds like that question was planted/from a MAGA-friendly outlet

It will be quite unedifying for Martin to go in there and bend the knee but what choice does he have? Does he dare bring up Ukraine at all?

They were panicking over getting an invite in DFA, they must surely be **** themselves now.

I was willing to accept the trump presidency if it kickstarted the economy there and pushed the stock markets in the right direction.

But this is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. I really don't know where things go from here. This behaviour from trump and Vance the last few weeks is beyond words. Zelensky has been treated disgracefully.

One way of sorting out the truth from the disinformation is for the media organisations to keep running the recordings they made in the Oval Office without any studio jockeys adding their after-the-act opinions to the TV display. Just the recordings continuously on a loop from every media group for the next seven days. If Trump wants to use the media to lie to the US, then use the media against him; word for word, action for action. Prove to the US public that their president is a LIAR who cant tell the truth.

Vance is a complete turd of a human being. The man that called Trump "America's Hitler" a few years ago and is now suckling at the teat of the Orange Moron like the rest of the Republicans. It's actually sickening. Zelenskyy did well not to go and nut JD Vance, which to be fair, would've been fully deserved.

If that interview was condensed into an Instagram reel the comments section would mostly consist of......"Is this satire?"

Vance proved he's a desperate asal and Trump just carried on being Trump. What a time to be alive. Fair play to Zelensky.

That's not necessarily the word I would use myself.

Zelensky is truly one of the great leaders of our time. A fact only reinforced by how intimated and insecure his detractors are.

Vance having a right go at Zelensky seemed to embolden Trump who immediately went on the attack right afterwards.

In one sense, today might be no bad thing. It shows who the real bad guys here (US and their new ally Russia) and how Zelensky is just trying to do right by his country.

The day Trump dies, and Putin, is the day I will jump with sheer Joy. I imagine it will be like the day the news broke to the Allies that Hitler was dead and the war was over a week later.

Trump and his buddy Putin are the absolute worst examples of the human species. They are psychopaths.

I'm actually speechless.

Fair **** play to zelensky he didn't take a word crap lying down

Being Trump's bitch is not what is in the best interest of Ukraine. We all know Trump is a ruthless, two-faced businessman and any negotiations will be for his own gain. He's already calling himself a peacemaker, that he is controlling any deal. Ukraine will not be a winner if Zelensky allows him to walk all over him.
