soundly defeated in Nov. 2024.

I don't why Z met w/ tRUMP, but I think he overcame his disgust to meet w/ this broken-down loser, if anything, to show that he wasn't afraid of tRUMP.

tRUMP just proved that he isn't a leader, and it's all about him. Disgusting and another one of the many reasons that tRUMP is unqualified to be a leader of the US.

Yes, he would say nothing which Putin would not agree with. kentuck Sep 2024 #3

cowing not vowing underpants Sep 2024 #7

I believe Trump facilitated Russia's attack. He's horrible. live love laugh Sep 2024 #14

Hate to say it, but Zelensky walked into this situation. no_hypocrisy Sep 2024 #2

He has to do everything he can underpants Sep 2024 #8

Worse than a mob boss, gab13by13 Sep 2024 #9

He doesn't have it now. spanone Sep 2024 #12

OMG it was disgusting and disgraceful. FalloutShelter Sep 2024 #5

That would follow since extortion is an integral component of his negotiating 'style'. pecosbob Sep 2024 #6

Dealt with the type. They think they're visionaries. Weird. jaxexpat Sep 2024 #13

There is one reliably predictable aspect to Trump. jaxexpat Sep 2024 #11

If there was any doubt in Z's mind it has left, like Magats rushing from a Trump rally. twodogsbarking Sep 2024 #15

Great post. n/t LuckyCharms Sep 2024 #17

I don't agree he had to meet with trump. Even if trump wins, Zelenski won't benefit rainin Sep 2024 #19

Exactly. Trump would sell him out reagrdless of what Zelensky does. SharonAnn Sep 2024 #29

Stump just proved in the most visible way that he is an agent of Putin. usonian Sep 2024 #34
