MAGA is turning into a cult of personality, just like Stalin and Mao had
No criticism of Trump will be permitted!
Let me put it this way.
What other American President would put up with being disrespected in his own office, on TV?
Z was there to sign a deal that had an implied security arrangement in that there would have been "American Interests" in the Ukraine. That effing simple.
Instead of saying thank you and proceeding with the deal, he started making demands, above and beyond that deal, virtually demanding American boots on the ground--something to which Trump has been vocally opposed. That kind of stuff is supposed to be settled beforehand, in more private circumstances, but to put the President of the United States on the spot that way on television, I am surprised he left the building under his own power.
Were I POTUS, I might have ordered him bodily evicted.
Zelensky shit in his mess kit, publicly, thinking somehow (likely under advisement from the Democrats he met with) that he could put Trump on the spot and Trump would cave.
Trump did not.
(Apparently, Zelensky just doesn't have the dirt to extort Trump or the ability to bribe him, unlike all the supposed sycophants out there who were/are making bank from the last administration--and who need to be cleaned out for their perfidy.)
It is nice to see we have a President who has enough respect for America, our People (who pay the bills), and the Office of the President to respond to that bullshit appropriately. While we are on the subject, J.D. Vance went up a couple of notches in my estimation as well.
Putin has bugger all to do with what went on in that exchange, that was Zelensky's doing (and his 'advisors').
