The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time”, people familiar with the matter said.

They added that the US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier.

“Zelenskyy was very negative” following the meeting, according to one of the officials, adding that European leaders were “not optimistic but pragmatic with planning next steps”.

      Or at least has temorarily won the square micron of territory that is what’s left of Trump’s brain. But by tomorrow, some other bright, shiny object will have captured Trump’s attention.

      Anyway, it’s an empty threat. If Russia could do more than it’s already doing to lay waste to Ukraine, Putin would have done it. There are no gloves to take off. It’s just Trump trying to bully someone who is immune to bullying.

    As the Kremlin papers showed, Putin was Trump’s backer for decades.

    As I’ve said for years, Trump is going to turn against NATO, & side with Putin, against all the hated enemies of imperialist-narcissism.

    Trump cannot be loyal to Ukraine, long-term, given Trump’s underlying-religion.

    Pretending otherwise is idiotic.

      Yep. Everyone knows that Trump is Putin’s bitch. He has never behaved in a way that would even cast doubt on that. The only thing he does against Putin is talk, and no talk is cheaper than Trump’s.

    This is not how a president or anyone in a position of authority should talk or conduct themselves. I’m ashamed of our country and countrymen who support this administration.

    Slava Ukraini.

      I wish we could make it clear to him and the rest of Ukraine how many of us support them and are horrified by how this administration has been behaving toward them, Russia, and the war in general.

        He doesnt care. You disagree with him and don’t support him, therefore you’re garbage and he’d rather dump literal diarrhea on your head than listen to what you want.
