They shouted at each other during the short but tense meeting and cut off the other in mid-sentence.
They were like children at a schoolyard brawl except that it was much worse.
The only thing they did not do was bite each other’s nose.
Trump is a nasty creature.
Zelenskyy was trying to out-bid him in nastiness.
The Trump-Zelenskyy shouting match was preceded by US Vice President JD Vance giving the Ukrainian visitor an earful, who in the words of Trump is a ‘mediocre comedian’ and a ‘dictator’.
Both Vance and Trump demanded Zelenskyy show some gratitude.
When that was not forthcoming, Trump told his aides to show Zelenskyy the door.
Lunch prepared for the visitors was also not served even though the Ukrainians wanted to stay, according to CNN.
They must have been really hungry.
The agreement on rare earth minerals that Trump had demanded as recompense for billions of dollars in arms supplies to Ukraine was also not signed.
The joint press conference scheduled for after the meeting was similarly cancelled.
Raising his voice, Trump called Zelenskyy “disrespectful” and told him he should be thanking the US, saying, “You don’t have any cards.”
A week earlier Zelenskyy had said Trump was “living in a disinformation space” created by Russia.
Trump in turn accused Zelenskyy of “gambling with World War Three”.
With so much nastiness all around, people are asking where do the US and Ukraine go from here.
It seems nowhere, as long as Zelenskyy is in power in Ukraine.
Trump obviously is not going to leave. He just won an election.
The most likely scenario is that Trump and the CIA might engineer a coup against Zelenskyy and install somebody in power who would do the US’s bidding.
With Trump at the helm, the US is also going down the drain.
