Summary

Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.

Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.

During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”

The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.

    I’m curious, what good do you see trump doing for the country? It seems to me that he’s doing a lot of harm but we probably have differing views

      Woman only gof woman’s sports, sounds fair to me. Ending corruption in politics, giving doldeierx who lost their jobs for not taking the experimental jab back their jobs, revealing the jfk, mlk files, trying to reveal the Epstein files, improving efficiency in government spending of hard earned taxpayer dollars, ending wars etc etc. safely his personality has gotten in the way of some of those, but do far, so good. I’m dick of people ignoring all the clear good he has done and just screaming ‘nazi’ and ‘hitler’ which is an inst to anybody award if history. Those words involve pure evil. Don’t use them in vain. If trump starts sending people to gas Chambers and murdering races ge didn’t like, I’ll be there with you screaming ‘nazi Hitler’ at the top of my lungs, that’s not reality though.

        When I call Trump and Musk Nazis, I’m not talking about concentration camps or genocide as with 1940 Nazis either. I’m referring to 1933 Nazis which were using demonization of others, attacking independent media, and The Big Lie to consolidate power. These are what made the Holocaust possible.

        You don’t get to claim you’re protecting women with transphobic laws when you’re actively inviting sex traffickers like the Tate Brothers to Florida… the whole anti trans women in sports is just misogyny.

        Please name/link the wars that ended during his administrations. Why can’t the sports leagues decide who participates via their own rules?

          I’ll give him Afghanistan as he organized the withdrawal… but we saw how big a fuckup that was, so bravo for ending that war after 20 years, but proves he has no idea what he’s doing.
