Zelensky and Trump: The meeting from hell

If you don't already know, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump had a knock down drag out meeting at the White House this past Friday. Although Zelensky wasn't dragged out, he was thrown out of the Oval Office by Trump. The Guardian said about Zelensky's treatment...

Adjectives including disastrous and vile were used to describe the meeting in which Donald Trump and his vice-president JD Vance openly berated the Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

At one point Trump said to Zelensky, “You are gambling with world war three.” David Smith commented, that “Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” Smith also wrote a zinger titled, "Diplomacy dies on live TV as Trump and Vance gang up to bully Ukraine leader." The Manchester News of North West England says it has proof the meeting was a "set up" on the part of Trump and Vance, signified by the fact that Trump winked at a planted reporter in a crucial moment.

Just before booting Zelensky from White House

Here's the scenario from The Manchester News...

"There are suggestions that Volodymyr Zelensky may have been the victim of a set-up at the White House, with a wink from Donald Trump seen as evidence. The now notorious confrontation between the US president and the Ukrainian leader saw Trump accuse Zelensky of being "disrespectful" and "gambling with WW3" last Friday.

"From the outset, Trump sarcastically commented that he was "all dressed up", a remark caught on mic as the two men met after Zelensky exited his SUV and approached the West Wing entrance to the White House. "Yes I had to," responded the Ukrainian leader."

There's more...

"... the manner in which Zelensky was mocked has led to allegations that he could have been ambushed, with a possible giveaway being a wink to right-wing media reporter Brian Glenn who questioned the Ukrainian about his choice to wear a combat outfit - despite it being common for leaders to do so during peacetime."

Zelensky Biden in better times

Contrary to the White House escapade, "European leaders back Zelensky after Trump clash." Just look at the support...

"The leaders of Germany, France, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands were among those who posted social media messages backing Ukraine - with Zelensky responding directly to each one to thank them for their support.

"The Ukrainian president has arrived in London to attend a summit hosted by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer who "retains unwavering support for Ukraine", Downing Street said."

Later came this,

"Starmer announces £1.6bn missile deal for Ukraine." Here's what happened...
Sir Keir Starmer has announced a £1.6bn missile deal for Ukraine, following a summit of European leaders in London.

"The prime minister also announced "a number" of allies had signed up to a "coalition of the willing", alongside France's President Emmanuel Macron, prepared to commit troops to the Ukrainian frontline in the event of a peace deal.

"Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky attended the meeting, where 17 European leaders and Canadian premier Justin Trudeau discussed next steps in securing peace for Ukraine."

So, it would appear that Zelensky had the last laugh and T-rump's mediocre and déclassé move to demean and embarrass the Ukrainian leader backfired. In reality, it is the kind of thing you would expect from a child, and I don't mean to disparage childhood.               

 

Donald Trump blames Wash., D.C. plane crash on Democrats, BUT...

Jan. 29, 2024 D.C. plane crashes

Here's The New Republic headline: "Trump Gutted Key Aviation Safety Committee Before D.C. Plane Crash." Now, it isn't likely this stupid move by the Oval Office Lunatic is what killed the 67 people in the collision between an American airlines plane and a helicopter, close to Ronald Reagan airport. However, it is possible this move could affect future potential accidents, and deaths, and there is absolutely no evidence that it is the fault of the Biden administration. An American Airlines pilot said...

"The notoriously difficult job of navigating airspace restrictions near Reagan National Airport is made more complicated by the very congested air traffic there."

Then Dennis Tajer, spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, commented...

“It’s a precarious balance of security and jamming in as many airplanes as you can get in there, because demand is so high.”

J. D. Vance chimed in by mimicking Trump and said...

"...without citing any evidence – that hiring standards have been lowered at air traffic control, which would be rectified by the Trump administration."

The second White House maniac also said air traffic controllers were not hired under Biden "because of the color of their skin.”

The New Republic piece provides the scenario...

"Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area."

"On Tuesday, January 22, the Aviation Security Advisory Committee’s members received a memo from the Trump administration saying that the Department of Homeland Security was getting rid of the membership of all advisory committees in a “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.” At the same time, Trump also fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard.

When Trump was asked how he could be so definitive about who was at fault for the crash, he said...

“Because I have common sense, OK, and unfortunately, a lot of people don’t.”

That comment is not worth a reply, except, Holy Crap!
