Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cut off former President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during a gaggle with reporters on Friday, musing that he hoped Trump had a better relationship with himself than Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
The awkward moment came after Trump was asked about his expectations for his private meeting with Zelensky.
Zelensky has to hedge his bets and play nice with Republicans.
Even if the Orange fuckwad looses you don’t want to appear to snub his base or give other Republicans a reason to oppose further aid legislation.
I mean they will oppose it because a third of the Republican Party are Putin’s shills, but don’t give them reasons to oppose it.
Yeah, the dude is fighting for his nation’s survival and he’s been pretty successful at it. It sucks he has to do it, but I understand exactly why he did.
I hope zelenski gets to write a tell all auto-biography at some point looking back on this period.
This would be unbelievably frustrating to read. I mean, he really does his job well. But the things he has to put up with and the way the whole war has been handled? Hard to not bite the book out of frustration.
