Donald Trump hit a new level of bizarreness today during an unpreceded meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.
Talks between the two leaders unexpectedly broke down as the Ukrainian president was verbally bullied by both the US president and his sidekick JD Vance in front of the world’s press. Trump spewed out a flurry of belligerent remarks towards Zelensky as any attempts at peace talks quickly disintegrated.
“It came out of Hunter Biden‘s bedroom. It was disgusting. And then they said, oh, oh, the laptop from hell was made by Russia. The 51 agents. The whole thing was a scam.”
On being a ‘tough guy’
Trump seemed to enjoy flexing his power by effectively claiming to be the strongest person in the world. “You want me to be tough? I can be tougher than any human being you’ve ever seen, I’d be so tough, but you’re never going to get a deal that way, so that’s the way it goes,” he threatened.
He also added: “You’re in no position to dictate what we’re gonna feel, we’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong.”
On political card games
Trump accused Zelensky of gambling World War III, stating: “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards… Right now you’re—you’re playing cards, you’re playing cards—you’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. You’re gambling with World War III.”
He goes on to slam the Ukrainain president for apparently not showing enough respect. “And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country. It’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have,” he adds.
Again, he feels it necessary to call out Zelensky’s attitude in his mind: “But you’re not acting at all thankful, and that’s not a nice thing. I’ll be honest, that’s not a nice thing.”
Trump also couldn’t help calling out previous US presidents as he said: “That was with a guy named Biden who is not a smart person—That was with Obama.” He ended the meeting clearly aware of the fuorore he’d created following the exchange of words between the pair: “I think we’ve seen enough, what do you think? This is going to be great television, I will say that.”
