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.

    It would be wildly illegal for me to say what I think of, and wish for, both Trump and Vance, but I’m still gonna quietly pray to whoever is listening that it happens.

      Pray all ya want. Last few years have proven that phone is off the hook. We’d be seeing targeted plagues and brimstone if it were.

      Correct. It is 100% illegal to call for the sudden and violent death of Trump and Vance, even if you think that they are white trash traitors who would, in fact, be better off dead.

        Nah, I’m sorry but I don’t think it would be fair and ethical to call for their sudden death.
