Summary

Trump just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history, with flared tempers, raised voices, and shredded protocol.

Never before has a U.S. president bullied and berated an adversary, never mind an ally, in such a public way.

During a tense Oval Office meeting, Trump and JD Vance attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, demanding he accept a peace deal with Russia or lose U.S. support.

The conversation devolved into shouting, with Trump accusing Zelenskyy of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III.”

The meeting ended in chaos, with no agreement reached.

    Real Art of The Deal shit.

    Absolute fucking masterclass in statesman-like diplomacy.

    Genuinely a moment for all Americans to be proud of. Truly, exceptional.

      Coming from YouTube, all the comments were saying Trump put Zelenksy in his place… are people actually that stupid, or is the whole internet edgy rightwing bots?

        Your comment had me go to YouTube to check, and almost all the top 30 comments were pro Zelensky.

          I wonder if YouTube shows you different ‘top’ comments based on their profile on you

              YouTube has some sort of sorting algorithm, but I have no idea what it sorts by. I’ve had a video open, looked at some of the comments, then come back the next day, refreshed the page, and had a new set of comments at the top from the same time period, with no discernible pattern to why they’re positioned where they are. You might find the top comment you saw previously with 1.5k likes 10 comments down the next day and a comment with 200-400 likes at the top, followed by a comment with 7k likes you didn’t see previously, and all from 5 months ago when the video was first posted.

          I guess I could look for a different channel to watch. However, stepping outside the echo chamber is probably not a bad idea once in a while.

        A good chunk of the comments will be straight up Russian propaganda. Another good chunk will be Americans who have bought into that propaganda wholeheartedly.

        It’s an embarrassing time to be an American.

        I showed a clip of the meeting to someone I know and that is pretty much what they said.

        We are so fucked.

        The comment section of the video I watched said otherwise. Was the one you watched on the Fox channel by any chance? They be like that.
