The Trump Presidency 2.0

[Ooh-Rah]

Every day I remind myself that if Kamala had won, I’d be ranting about how as each hour passes we’re becoming even softer of a country.

Trump 2.0 is beginning to lose the charm that he had the first time around. He didn’t seem all that dangerous before. Now?

Looks like someone was translating Zelensky swearing at Vance. He apparently muttered "Fuck you, bitch".

I guess he was hoping Trump and Vance would be like European leaders and Trudeau, fawning over him like a bunch of kids.

UPDATE: Zelenskiy Said 'F*ck You, B*tch' To VP Vance During Argument - CDM - Human Reporters • Not Machines

Gotta pick a lane here my man! I know which side is currently having more fun...

When Lindsay Graham flips on his support for Ukraine, you know something isn't right.

Zelensky finally said thank you where he feels more comfortable, social media.

The "fact checking" rn is hilarious.

Uhhhhh ACKSHUALLY he said thank you on like 10 tweets already." - ABC.

So, what you're saying is... stuff said online is COMPLETELY different than in face negotiations, and the stuff they put on social media is crafted to create a response, and in person it can be completely different?

Great investigative journalism there, Fourth Estate.

Annnnnnd I am done. Happy Friday, everyone!

I loved--loved--watching that interview, with Trump and Vance holding Zelensky's feet to the fire.

Is he more dangerous than the alternative would have been? I don't think so.

At least not to America as a whole. I concede he's hella-dangerous to the Deep State (that never existed?) and the political-media complex.

Well this is unexpected. Maybe Zelensky will be gone before he lands in Ukraine.

I’ll be responding with my ketamine post. If it’s good enough for Vice Lord Musk then it must be good enough for me too.

I know you’re right, I know you are 100% right.

I’ve always been more of a diplomat, tried to handle business tactfully and behind closed doors as much as possible.

Trump‘s in your face style might be the right way to go, But it sure is uncomfortable.… Maybe that’s the point? Maybe that’s what this country actually needs.

For all the talks about "norms" and "what America aspires to be" lately, I couldn't agree more.

Reagan famously walked out of negotiations with Gorbachev in '86. Sometimes you need to remind people that America is the gorilla in the room.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It seems to be working.

So, I wonder if this is kind of Z's exist strategy. He knows he can't be the guy who gets the country where it needs to go. This way he goes out shaking his fist at the world, and doesn't live long enough as the hero president to die a villain. "We were still fighting when I left."

He can now move his wife to his Paris condo and go to drag shows with Macron.

The daily interest on his skim could feed half of Africa for a thousand years or Diddy's baby lotion bill for 36 hours.

I can get behind this, as well as the posturing @Blizzard mentioned earlier. The world is a stage... and Zelensky is an actor, after all (who got fired by a reality TV superstar).


BAHAHA typing it out made me laugh. How can you not love this timeline?!

Here's something to consider. TASS was allowed to cover this meeting. AP/Reuters were reportedly excluded. This may be theatrics for the Russians. Just something to noodle on.

AP got booted out of the press pool, so this isn't the snub you want it to be.

To be clear, I wasn't hoping one way or another. I'm just here for the show.

It was just a thought, may or may not be on base. Either way, I'm entertained.
