    Yeah, it's Vance and Trump that come out of this looking the worst.

    Trumps circle will start to crumble before long.

    Media couldn't give a toss about truth. They want ratings. Not even the left leaning channels like CNN go anyway towards disproving his lies ever. They just get into a bit of mudslinging with some hillbilly republican senator or governor

    Any chance Michael Martin goes to Ukraine and presents Zelenskyy a bowl of shamrocks instead?

    Let it play out - let Europe step up to the plate now- the whole world knows Zelenskyy and as a result, the people of Ukraine, did NOT bow down to President Trump - it’s been a horrible day- but in some way, a beautiful day - Zelensky you’re a hero of the world.

    If Starmer doesn't cancel the "unprecedented 2nd state visit" after that he's a disgrace.

    Alastair Campbell on Ch4 News just after calling Trump and Vance "thugs" and Trump a man child.

    Starmer went so far up Trumps hole yesterday I'd say he's still there.

    The USA under the Trump-Vance regime sinks to yet another new low.. and now we live in a world where the "Leader of the free world" is friends with vicious dictators like Putin and enemies of anyone democratically elected to lead a country..

    The thoughts of the Taoiseach having to go to the former seat of world democracy, the oval office, with a begging bowl in hand to meet the Trump clown show should make every Irish citizen sick…

    He doesn't wear a suit because he wants to project an image of resilience, wartime leadership and solidarity with Ukrainian soldiers.

    I never gave it much of a second thought myself.

    I'm just mildly surprised that Hulk Hogan & Vince McMahon weren't involved in that tag team on Zelenskyy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,344 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    I'd say King Charles is absolutely hopping mad now that an invitation was made to that ****, probably against his better judgement.

    I hope this utterly shameful display in the white house will serve as a wake up call to any European leaders who have been slow to catch onto the fact that Europe needs to gain as much economic and security independence from America as soon as possible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,523 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Forgetting Trump for a second.. arriving to Washington DC to meet the U.S. president in the oval office dressed like some Joe soap out for a walk absolutely is disrespectful.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,468 ✭✭✭All_in_Flynn


    I've seen some pretty distasteful live tv segments in my time but that was pretty disgusting from Trump and his lapdog.

    Was a clear set up and fair play to Zelensky for standing up for Ukraine.

    Europe needs to step up now. That cretin is not going to lift a finger for Ukraine.

    Hey America- I just dropped in to this thread to wish you all well with the death of democracy the emergence of fascism and your new Orange dictator- good luck learning to live on a few dollars a day- you got the president you deserve - each and everyone of you! The world is laughing at you, one and all .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,353 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    Honestly, I dont think it went well for Trump. Zelensky stuck at it, without losing his cool. And Vance looked like a complete idiot "Especially when you are wrong and you know you are wrong"…spoken like someone who has absolutely no confidence in their argument.

    He's dressed like a soldier for a reason. The fact that this needs to be pointed out is ridiculous.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,035 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    The journalist who asked Zelensky about wearing a suit is…. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. And he got his place in the Oval office attendance partly due to the Associated Press being excluded.

    Two fairly normal reading sentences if you don't know the full details. Absolutely batsh*t crazy if you do.

    He is also the King of Canada, a kingdom that Trump has threatened. And you'd think the Canadian government would want their king to have stern diplomatic words with Trump

    That's no way to treat a guest coming to your country



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 566 ✭✭✭DrPsychia


    I can't envisage how Michael Martin will choose to visit the white house for St Patrick's day after what we witnessed. Ireland can not stay neutral now. We need to side with the the EU diplomatically and militarily, without question.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,353 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    I get the messaging though, he is in permanent kakhis to remind people that he is at war.

    complete and utter b0ll0x- that is Zelenskys war uniform - you’ve disrespected Ukraine - you obviously like sucking Trumps cool aid- mind how you go with that - he’s slept around you know. Take precautions



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,665 ✭✭✭kyote00


    the fact that TaS news agency were also in the room is surely proof this was a deliberate attempt to provoke Zelenskyy

    Vance is a moron- the useful idiot for Trump.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Mefistofelino


    Should tell Trump there's been an election and send our new "taoiseach" Danny Healy Rae to Washington, with a hurl.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,380 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    A question for the pro trumpers or the people who understand America better than I.

    Will the way that Trump and Vance behaved today do anything to shift the needle either towards more support for trump or less?

    Objectively he's a bully and pro Russia which, traditionally, would be seen as a bad thing in America. But it seems to be upside down world there now...

    You picked a good day to pay attention to the current affairs in the political space for the first time in your life.

    And Trump turns around and winks at him after one of the exchanges.
