The Trump Presidency 2.0

Meeting with Zelensky is hot
Live updates: Trump blasts Zelenskyy as 'disrespectful' in public blow-up at White House

This is a treasure trove of body language. Imagine being Zelensky trying to go head to head with JD Vance on camera.

"The VP is largely a ceremonial position and doesn't really matter, they don't craft policy."- The DNC, circa August 2024.

ETA- Holy crap- "You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition"- that's a muder on live TV.

That was beautiful. Choosing Vance was a great choice and using him as the bulldog, is priceless.

Trump, like no politician or person in history (my opinion) understands soundbites and clips better than anyone.

"We want a cease fire you didn't respect that."- Zelensky
"That was with a guy named Obama... the line is, 'Obama gave you sheets, I gave you Javelins." - Trump

That clip is going mega viral, now and forever. The messaging through line here is, "I don't care about other presidents, I am here now and I want an end to this war and you're not willing to engage."

Mark it down, that's the clip you'll see in the next 48 hours EVERYWHERE.

If I’m the Kremlin I would start popping bottles and getting ready for a victory parade

That said, I would like to see a public conversation with Putin as well.

Rule by EO needs to end; it's been going on with too many presidents for WAY too long. Republicans control Congress. There's no reason this needs to continue. They have 2+ years. Legislation must follow.

Concur...if I had my way, an Executive Order would expire January 20th upon the completion of a President's term, even if the incumbent were reelected...Congress would have to approve the EO by then or it would be history...

Looks like the great game is well underway.

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.

I sure will.

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.

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.
