Trump’s bad behaviour is escalating and I am truly worried.
Like a child with no boundaries his rudeness and impulsive behaviour gets worse and it’s a case of the Emperor’s New Clothes with sycophant Vance in tow.
His behaviour with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was nothing less than disgusting
Keir Starmer patronised the President with a letter from King Charles,So just looked weak though Trump did concede that the Prime Minister was a tough negotiator
I seldom talk about politics but Trump is an angry child in charge of a country
We are angry, in shock, humiliated. They planned this. It was an ambush.
ReplyDeleteJust plain bully tactics..and yet the footage on fox ( not my choice of channel I must add) paints a different picture...and the red hats believe that....
ReplyDeleteZelinskyy walked out of there with his reputation intact. He is a true hero, something those buffoons will never be.
ReplyDeleteAgree, just mad a donation to Ukraine.
DeleteEveryone has their own opinion. No one is getting the full story and can not know what is going on in these meetings. Hard to make a call without all the information and just what one sees on the television reports.
ReplyDeleteAnymore everyone tells lies to support their vision of the future.
It serves no purpose to bring such things up.
I still love you. ;)
DeleteOne can’t just deny the evidence of one’s eyes.
DeleteRegardless of what went on behind the scenes in other meetings, that was a truly distasteful display of two powerful men bullying another. Neither man would let Zelenskyy answer the questions they were lobbing at him. They were shocking and how anybody could see it in any other light is unbelievable to me J’nan
"It serves no purpose to bring such things up". You are very wrong Gemma's person!
DeleteI would surmise that GP has not watched this, or read any news at all.
DeleteGP, clearly you do not understand the situation and did not watch that disaster in the Oval Office today. If you had you would not have made the statement you did.
DeleteAny American worth their salt would be deeply ashamed of this outrageous attack on Zelensky in "the people's house". I know I am. I am livid.
DeleteMimi
"Anymore everyone tells lies to support their vision of the future."
DeleteNo. Everyone does not. If you think that, you are part of the problem too.
It was a televised event. Pretty easy to make a call considering it played out in public.
DeleteI consider it "tough love" not bullying. Not all of the footage was shown on television. So to make the call without ALL of the words surrounding it , the whole interaction between all of them is not fair.
DeleteGP, some sources on the internet have shown a great deal of footage, including prior to the bullying. You also have to consider all of the events leading up to this meeting. If you make the call without doing that, your interpretation is not fair. Trump has repeatedly said that Ukraine started the war when it is an internationally known and accepted fact that Russia invaded Ukraine with no justification. How can any peace deal be made when Trump et al can't even recognize the facts?
DeleteOutrageous behavior by both Trump and Vance followed by
ReplyDeleteegregious gaslighting by Trump as he left to play golf. Sickening!
Despicable to the max - he and his ilk need to be impeached and prosecuted for failing to uphold their oaths of office. Don't get me started. Cry, the beloved country.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
I couldn’t finish watching it, it was disturbing,out and out bullying of Zelensky, they wouldn’t let him finish speaking or they talked over him, humiliated him about his clothes, called him disrespectful, it was awful to watch so awful, how he kept his temper is beyond me…..
ReplyDeleteDT is a first-class bully. VZ held his ground, and he did push back. Bullies do not like a challenge from anyone.
ReplyDeleteDT went ballistic. VZ held his ground and showed no fear which is to his credit.
It left me feeling nauseous, watching this choreographed piece from a disgusting coward and his lackeys towards a legitimate hero. I'm embarrassed to be a citizen of this country.

ReplyDeleteI am ashamed American’s voted this jerk into power again
ReplyDeleteLee
I'm disgusted and ashamed to be an American.
ReplyDeleteThere are places you can move to , Ukraine, for example. You are allowed to have an opinion in the United States. The land of the free and the home of the brave. Where you are allowed to have a dissent opinion from your fellow citizens
DeleteJennifer, I am deeply ashamed. And Gemma, you are probably a Russian troll. There is nothing on your profile that identifies you as anything. Gemma, you can move to hell for your baloney. How rude to suggest someone who dissents can move to Ukraine.
DeleteI wonder if the fool will ever realize how vulnerable he is making the decent people of this world.
ReplyDeleteThank you for speaking up. I can assure you, we in the US who are very worried about our democracy appreciate and are heartened by Brits, Europeans, Canadians, Mexicans and all other citizens of the world who share our concerns.
ReplyDeletePS. Obviously we’re worried about our bonkers president’s effect on the rest of the world too!
DeleteThe United States is relying on Europe. Putin has no regards for Trump or the United States.
DeleteI agree with Jennifer. We should have all pooled our money and bought Trevor's house!! Seriously though, I have never been ashamed of my country - until now. I know you almost never post anything political John, which speaks volumes when you do. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI was truly shocked watching it. How Zelensky managed to sit through it I just don't know - his self-control was extraordinary. I went to the supermarket and chose not to buy American Mandarins ... like the Canadians I will choose less with USA on it, or firms owned by the USA. I can do very little, but the little I can, I will.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in this Virginia, I too will no longer buy American products knowingly.
DeleteI am ashamed to be a US Citizen. That was the most disgusting thing I have seen in years. If Trump or Vance were in Zelensky's position when Russia invaded they would have wet themselves and run screaming. Zelensky has more courage in his little finger that those two cowards put together.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. These people are doing a terrible job of representing the interests of American citizens. I feel an uprising coming and I will be part of it.
DeleteMimi
Totally agree with you….i am ashamed also. An ambush. Vance is an ass also.
DeleteChildren have better manners than trump does. He is a despicable waste of skin.
ReplyDeleteHe's my president and tired of the rest of the world taking advantage of my country because "we can afford it!" I also think this may have been a set up to negotiate with Putin. I loved it! Thank God we have someone who is capable of governing. Zelensky came in for a paycheck and left with a reality check. No more free money. Get your news besides the mainstream media!
ReplyDeleteYou are in a cult. What do you think will happen next if Putin is victorious? You are a traitor to democracy.
DeleteWow, do you actually thank God for that?
DeleteIf you loved it so much, why be anonymous? You are delusional, probably because of where YOU are getting your "news".
DeleteI echo the sentiments...you are a coward who hides behind 'anonymous'.
DeletePublish your name if you really believe the sh*t that you typed. OWN it. Don't hide behind 'anonymous".
DeleteAnon, trump cannot "negotiate" with Putin - he reports to Putin. Wake up, baby.
DeleteNina
I agree and applaud the comments of everyone but GP.
ReplyDeleteIdiocy does need to be called out and assholes shouldn't be allowed to get away with their behaviour.
I just honestly could not believe what I heard. You know, I used to worry about him destroying my country. Now I am worried about him destroying the world. What happened today was an ambush. Plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteIt is horrifying to watch. Trump made a mockery of the office he holds. It is chilling for us in Canada. Google map is renaming our national parks as if they are in the U.S. I am going to be anonymous, Scary times. Good to read your words John.
ReplyDeleteI am appalled.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: I am appalled every minute of every day.
I hope they can be corralled soon for the sake of humanity.

Zelensky cancelled some appearances he was to make later on however,he did keep an appearance on Fox with Brett Bair. Yes, Fox. Don't worry about Z or feel sorry for him. He is strong and this isn't making him cry. I don't blame him at all for not trusting Putin to keep his word. This meeting should not have been televised and I think it was because of Trumps ego but it backfired on him. I believe when things like this are televised people act differently for the camera. Zelensky said in the interview with Brett Bair that he is still hopeful that he can work with Trump. As Gemma said, there is much we do not know. Linda
ReplyDeleteIt's a standard photo op American presidents always do when foreign leaders visit, but it's just that, a photo op where they take one or two questions before the real press conference. The felon has been extending them longer and longer. I agree it's not the place to discuss anything substantive. But the felon and Vance knew that and used it to set VZ up. They had the whole thing planned.
DeleteFrom what I have heard from many sources is that it was all planned out in a meeting and Z went rogue and demanded more thus the debaucle we has to witness. His people were not at all happy with his actions. Just reporting another side that I heard. The whole thinf was a shitshow. Linda
DeleteI am an American and I am so ashamed and disgusted by
ReplyDeleteby the behavior of this stupid evil president. I am sickened by those who support him.
Kay
I am ashamed for my country. That was despicable.
ReplyDeleteSad, embarrassing, and frightening! You are so right and he.’s a vindictive bully who holds a grudge. He’s always been this way and he will never change.
ReplyDeleteI’m not going argue with Trump supporters here
ReplyDeleteBut I ask them to look at the truths
The truth is simple, America has now asked for repayment of a gift
A GIFT
No matter if every country who has supplied Ukraine with weapons, hopes for something in return, the truth is that aid was gifted
The behaviour of Vance and Trump was not worthy of any world leader. If the encounter gave negative feelings to those who watched it, it was wrong, plain and simple.
Jerry Springer comes to mind
Come on people you are better than that
Agree. Shaming him for not thanking them???What was I watching? Linda
DeleteThe problem is, or one of the main problems, at least, is that many, many Americans are NOT better than that or we would never have elected the man for a first term, much less a second. The fact that so many people bought his act, his lies, his cons or at least saw them for what they were and didn't care is proof of how far we've devolved as a nation.
DeletePlease know, however, that there are many, many of us who are as stunned as the rest of the world as this administration sinks to even lower and more terrifying levels. Stunned, horrified, embarrassed, and as frightened as the rest of the world.
I am speechless and horrified by what occurred in the Oval Office. Trump & Vance behaved despicably.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed of my country. To the rest of the world - please keep the pressure on the United States.
ReplyDeleteWhat a choice they had! A dipsy, incoherent, simpleton, or Trump. I was prepared to give him a chance, but I'm beginning to think he has mental problems. Too much power has gone to his head.
ReplyDeleteI certainly would never describe Kamala Harris as a “dipsy, incoherent simpleton”. J’nan
DeleteKamala Harris served as Attorney General for California (5th largest economy in the world BTW). She is hardly dipsy, incoherent or a simpleton.
DeleteUnfortunately most international commentators would. We've all seen the films of her, and if you really wanted that as POTUS, then OK.
DeleteJust as Americans do not always have a good grasp of the nuances of British politics and political figures, sometimes Brits do not have as good an understanding of American political figures as they think they do. We already know Trump is not right in the head. It's been obvious for years. I'm sorry it's taken this for it to be obvious to Europeans.
DeleteAnd yet 77 Million people voted for him, which I think says more about Harris than it does about Trump.
DeleteNow we're seeing "buyer's remorse" from some of those 77 million who voted for Trump. "Gee, I didn't think he and Musk would eliminate MY job"; "Gee, he promised to lower the price of eggs and groceries on Day One but they're higher"; "Gosh, he promised to pay for IVF treatment in full but Musk took my job and now I can't afford to have kids"; "Wow, I thought he was going to deport those OTHER people, not me"; "Gosh, with those tariffs on Canada and Mexico, my business is going to suffer." Yeah. "America First."
DeleteIt was horrifying to watch. It was like Lions bringing an antelope down. Zelensky was ambushed.
ReplyDeleteNo good can come of this.
Thank you, John, for posting this. It needs to be said loud and clear, far and wide. Trump and Vance behaved despicably. Any decent person can see it.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly so many new commentators and a few anons which wil be ignored.
DeleteI am saddened by some bloggers who like to stir the pot and throw grenades of such comments that are clearly mischief making.
Their cowardness is nauseating
I agree with the majority of your commenters. It was embarrassing, excruciating and frightening to watch.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that, this morning, I see many world leaders are supporting Zelenskyy against the bullying Trump and his sycophantic followers. You're right, John, Trump acts like a spoilt child. Unfortunately, he's a delusional, egotistical, spoilt child, with great power. That in itself is frightening.
I think we all agree with you, it was disgusting, why do we let him get away with such bad behaviour. Sandy mid wales
ReplyDeleteWell said John. Truly worrying and so inappropriate
ReplyDeleteJill x
The US has giving that grifter billions of dollars. I hope the US leaves the EU and let you people foot the bill.
ReplyDeleteWhat world are you living in, Anonymous? (and why so coy with your identity?)
DeleteGod bless Zelensky
DeleteIt's useless to engage with Trump supporters. Waste of time. They will have to learn the truth the hard way. The rest of us have better ways to use our energy - to fight this madness!
Delete350 billion to be exact, so glad to hear the UK will now pick up the slack
DeleteYours is an uneducated comment. The US is NOT part of the EU, and never will be.
DeleteSecondly, any one who does not stand up to Putin and his illegal invasion of Ukraine is simply a puppet of Russia.
You "hope the US leaves the EU"? Do you perhaps mean NATO? Not the same thing, you know. Trumpers, loose with the facts as usual.
DeleteNobody knows where Satan got that $350 billion figure from but it is a massive over-exaggeration of the sum of American support in financial terms. Satan seems to just make up numbers on the hoof and then imagines that if he says them often enough they will morph into the truth.
DeleteThe amount was proven, with documents to be $119 billion, NOT $350 billion.
DeleteThe world is 'going to hell in a handcart' - the international order has been upturned by two oily billionaire (schoolyard) bullies on camera berating a man who has been a true beacon of democracy against a predatory dictator. Whatever shining light America thought it represented has been extinguished in the hands of these morons. Shameful - and terrifying.
ReplyDeleteBut according to Graham and Rubio, it’s Zelenskyy who should apologise for being so aggressive! Unbelievable! J
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteTrump is the playground bully. Unfortunately his impulsive behaviour is destabilising the accepted norm. I worry about what is going to happen next, in the meantime we carry on as usual. Our fate in the hands of a few megalomaniac.
ReplyDeleteA child bully who wants to dominate every play-date.
ReplyDeleteA bully indeed.
ReplyDeleteGot to love it when people decry “main stream media” - the tirade was filmed.
Wonder if he is going to ask Israel to money back?
Well said John. It was disgusting to watch such bullying and despicable behaviour. The whole world now knows the truth about Trump. It was on tv this morning that a Russian journalist was allowed into the press section, and was sending a live feed back to Russia before he was expelled from the room. I don't know how true that is, but it would explain a lot!!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you saying that if yoh don't know if its true?
DeleteIt's just a different side to the story, that was broadcast on American news. I don't know for sure how accurate THEY are, after all their president is not to be trusted one inch, but with the rest of the piece and the proof shown for what they were stating, I think I would trust them more than Trump.
DeleteTrump is a business man intent on buying up other countries for their resources, check out the Blackrock acquisition of thousands of acres of Ukraine. He and Sir Smarmer should be looking after their electorate and own country before meddling in the rest of the world, sometimes the ‘bigger picture’ gets cloudy. Am not normally so cross but I fear for mankind even though the planet will look after itself (see the Gaia theory by James Lovelock), idealistically let us be happy for the short time we are here. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of temper tantrums..........Brilliant if unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteJesus! Adrian is talking shite
DeleteI like to fit in and hate fighting the norm, it upsets folk.
Deleteacting stupid isn't a virtue
DeleteI felt very sorry for President Zelenskyy. He was alone and cornered by Satan and his gang plus the assembled media. It was very intimidating for him - especially as it all happened in the English language and not in Ukrainian. It felt like a set up. Satan seems to view life on Earth in its entirety as a series of business deals - like a massive, everlasting game of "Monopoly" but he is wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought, he was holding his own, keeping calm and showing his intelligence all in a language that is not his own. While all around him bullies yelled.
DeleteTotally agree, YP and Sue. Which one behaved like a statesman and which one an aggressive bully? I'll leave you to decide! xx
DeleteAgree totally, no one seemed to commentthatitwas notnhis first language! I kept thinking .of toddlers in’s playground horrifyingztthis level!
DeleteTruly appalling behaviour by Trump and Vance. Horrible to watch and Putin must have enjoyed every moment. Nasty bullying behaviour. I would have been ashamed to be an American citizen watching that disgraceful show.
ReplyDeletethe left are loosing their minds, i love it lol, Zelensky an actor that has never acted, but is worth millions How did that happen ?
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of rubbish in Twitter about Zelensky’s millions, his planes, houses and luxury yachts…the trouble is the twits swallow it.
DeleteSources please, or it didn't happen.
DeleteHere’s one

If you simply remove all the anonymous comments, it reduces a great deal of empty noise.
DeleteExactly Debby. Anonymous comments, unless signed at the end mean absolutely nothing, and nine times out of ten are just inflammatory and mean nothing.
DeleteI can understand people going anon in this post. The posters here have a long memory and will hold it against those who don't agree with the majority. I do applaud Gemma for signing her name. BTW,there are anon posts made from both sides here. Linda
DeleteNo one in their right mind would describe Kamala Harris as a "dipsy, incoherent, simpleton," unless of course they too are huge Trump fans. Disgusting behavior from Trump yesterday but everyone with a brain knew this is what he is, always has been. A bully. Best part: after the fiasco, he took off again for FL to go golfing.
ReplyDeleteYes, after loading the confiscated boxes of top-secret docs. A bit of light reading for him in between rounds?!
DeleteTo be fair, I think the poster was just a bit confused and was referring to Biden.
DeleteOh please, don't criticize Trump by saying Kamala was great. She was useless.
DeleteWell said , John. I feel very sorry for those Americans who didn't vote for Trump and have to watch their country being portrayed in this way. Zelensky and Ukraine deserve our wholehearted support .
ReplyDeleteThat display by the two bully babies who should have been spanked as children should be a wake up to all those ignorant orange bullshiter supporters . Ukraine needs more support from the rest of the world against Putin. That crap from the Americans just makes them traitors. It made for a very bad TV reality show. The rump needs to stay on the golf course, he doesn’t belong in the white house . The majority of the American people must be horrified by what they saw yesterday. As a Canadian I am, and also very scared. Putin must be overjoyed and emboldened. Gigi
ReplyDeleteIf there is a god, all we are asking for is one fatal heart attack or stoke, for the good of the world, take the orange one. Sorry, I voted against him.
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one, my friend
DeleteI pray for health problems for him every night.
DeleteTheir treatment of Zelensky is appalling. This whole situation is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He's not an angry child, though, he's a moral degenerate with a dictator complex who was voted into office by a minority group of people who are now in the FO stage of FAFO.
ReplyDeleteExactly so. The situation in one sentence.
Deletec
Not enough space here, John, for me to absolutely state that dump IS an angry child with immense power, behaving badly. He didn't get to do what he wanted in his first "presidency" and came back with a vengeance and a wealthy Doberman. I am appalled, disgusted and fear for not just our country, but for any country he sets his sick Nazi eyes on. History is repeating itself, and when his loyal supporters figure that out, it will be too late for them. Just as it was too late for Hitler's supporters, and there will be significant collateral damage all around.
ReplyDeleteThe minute I heard Trump had won the US election I had a sick feeling in my stomach that he would think he had also been elected king of the world. too. He keeps telling the world that Putin respects him but Putin must be cheerring today as he is getting Trump to do his dirty work for him in destroying Ukraine. As for Zelensky "not wearing a suit" - has anyone got the name of Elon Musks'tailor? Vance said he understood what was happening in Ukraine as he had seen the pictures and read the reports - is that the same sort of reports as the immigrants eating the pets he repeated in his election campaign? Come on Starmer, and the rest of Europe - stand up to Trump.
ReplyDeleteI was ashamed and disgusted by the behavior of the current president and vp. Long live Ukraine.
ReplyDeletejust read this comment elsewhere from a grownup ''quote'' It’s gonna be fine. These blow ups always happen in these high power high stakes negotiations the only difference here is that it happened in front of the cameras.
ReplyDeleteBoth parties go back and forth and tempers will flare. But in the end they will come together again. There will be a deal. And there will be peace. '' quote ''
Sarah
Sure, negotiating parties will disagree, but that's not what this was. This wasn't a negotiating moment. It was a press event, with a pre-planned public dressing-down of the head of state of our erstwhile ally. It was showmanship, which Trump revealed at the end with his comment about how it would make "great television." He never intended to have a serious negotiation. He just wanted to make Zelenskyy look bad.
DeleteExactly. It was likened to a Mafia hit job. I've never been ashamed to be an American until now.
DeleteA generation of Ukranian men are dead. Any thoughts about that
ReplyDeleteI'm as horrified as the majority here about Big Mouth's behaviour. He makes me cringe and I worry about the next four years. I live in a rural area in the US and it's already uncomfortable, bordering on unsafe, to have a conversation with friends in a public place about him. His supporters think the World's dislike of him is a sign that he is doing a good job!
ReplyDeleteWell, what we saw yesterday just happened to be what usually goes on behind closed doors with all the meetings and high-level talks between countries. There is too much at stake in these meetings to be all nice-y nice and civil. I've said it before you have to research and read other than what the news on TV tells you. We are learning a lot about the US here at home with all the fraud, money laundering in the government, fake news at all levels and political games played. USA cannot and should not continue to be the world's rescuer, bank, and military supporter. We all need to work together EQUALLY for the good of the world. No country is a saint, all have sullied hands, it is what it is, it is and has always been about power and money. Change is hard and scary. We are working to clean up our poop show and Europe has their own poop show to fix. Oh, and the US and the world dodged a bullet with Harris. Time will tell. Jen
ReplyDeleteJen, all sides-ism is inaccurate. Your claims about poor, put upon America are so ill-formed it's striking. Do you know nothing of foreign policy since the Cold War? The US has done nothing out of altruism. And, as you denigrate Harris, please do keep in mind how she would have respected the checks and balances of the US system. It is what it is--until they come for you.
DeleteIf anything President Trump does, does not follow the Constitution it will be overturned, the checks and balances are working just as they should.
DeleteThat was me above. I notice if you fail to have the facts you start name calling...that is to all the "bully" callers.
DeleteAmen , Jen.
DeleteIt's appalling how petulant and ego-driven he can be for a grown man. It's like he's never learned how to be an adult.
ReplyDeleteIt's called sociopathic narcissism. In full display.
Deletekikkicee Read my comment again. American hands are not un-sullied, neither is the rest of the worlds. We in the US are learning more about our quote unquote deep state and what has been done, but there is truly nothing new under the sun and not just since the WWll. It is all about power and money and has been for centuries. America has been one of the most generous countries in the world and it is not poor, poor put upon. People need to educate themselves about what is happening in the world today, who's behind it and why. America is getting their house in order to look to the future for us and to be able to help the world but not be a doormat. The world has been distracted by Covid and all the crazy poop, (need to look at the big picture and ask yourself why and the reason for it). Yes, America dodged a bullet with Harris and when "THEY "come for us we now may stand a chance. Harris upholds checks and balances, really? I guess we can go back and forth forever, I hope for the world things will change but I don't think so and that is what it is.
ReplyDeleteNot another of those loonies who think “they” are coming to get us and the deep state. next we will have the big reset rubbish, WEF, plandemic, the covid vaccines include nano technology, man didn’t land on the moon, JFK, RFK and MLK were murdered by the deep state, man made climate change doesn’t exist, the world is flat….bloody tin hat brigade. I am off for a lie down with a big G&T.
DeleteAl, kikkicee is worried about the "they". Need to research, not totally believe the media either right or left and put down the G&T. Jen ;)
Delete“Research” as in all that garbage in Twitter. Let ‘s ignore experts who have degrees 🤔
DeleteNo , research as in...go find the whole unedited clip , then rethink what you have said.
DeleteI see your all's point of view on what you are saying that he is a bully , but I have researched more facts for myself, which I won't do for you , but will let you do your own research.
I have watched the whole unedited clip.
Delete"Trump is an angry child in charge of a country"
ReplyDeleteAnd it's my county, unfortunately. I don't know when this nightmare is going to end.
Well, I guess an angry child is a step up from dementia. Talk about a nightmare. America is waking up by the day. Jen
ReplyDeleteJen, this is GP, you are confusing the people that call him a bully with actual facts and not name calling like they do. Thank you for being brave enough to help try to explain this to them!
DeleteGP, if you know you know and if you don't you don't, right? Watch Victor David Hanson on YT. Titled: Zelensky Isn't Winston Churchill, he lays it out like you said. It would accomplish a lot. Stop the war, save lives, prevent another world war, help stabilize Europe and rebuild Ukraine and horrors US would get re-imbursed for the billions (a lot they can't say where it went). Your right you can't reason with people who are stuck on Trump, they just regurgitate what they hear on legacy media. I wish them the best. Would be interesting to revisit this in few years see how things went. Jen
DeleteAs an American who didn’t vote to put the bully back in the White House, I only ask that we’re not all portrayed in the same vein as Trump and his disciples. Four years of this nightmare!
ReplyDeleteI would apply the term 'tough love' to his actions ,not bully.
ReplyDeleteYou’re wrong! Tough love is when you do something in someone’s best interest. His interest is only in himself.
DeleteHow is he benefitting? The U.S. benefits if he gets these deals done. He has said he is on neither side Ukraine nor Russia. He wants a cease fire so the U.S. is out of it. He also said if they want to continue to fight it will be without U.S. help.
DeleteHis overall mission is to become a dictator - the same as his idol Putin. Perhaps you don't remember "vote for me my lovely Christians and you will never have to vote again". He is a charlatan, a snake oil salesman, do I need to go on? You are the one that does not understand and has obviously drank the kool-aid.
DeleteIf anyone can not see Trump is looking out and doing what is best for the U.S. You can't be getting the whole story , the facts on the issues of what he is doing . He has the most transparent government of any president. He is doing all the cutting , showing us the money being spent where it is wasted , firing the bulky government jobs (where they do nothing), is doing it out in the open for everyone to see and not doing behind the scenes deals with governments where he personally gains (like Biden family). We are able to decide for ourselves whether he is doing the right thing or not. He is trying to get rid of all of the U.S. debt by making deals that help the U.S.
ReplyDeleteBaloney, Baloney, Baloney. Trump wants to raise the debt ceiling by 4 billion. That does not get rid of debt. It is gullible people that believe what you have written. I read your profile. You could be a Russian troll for all anyone knows. You are nobody if you can't put your name to who you are.
DeleteWell said Gemma! I don't begin to get into a conversation with people that have TDS. If people can't see how much better things are now than they were Dementia Biden, they have a serious problem. A lot has transpired since 20 January, and we are just getting started. People would be wise to listen to other news stations besides biased CNN and MSNBC.
DeleteI am very willing to debate anyone on anything they want to say about Trump, I will have the facts that I know and there should be no name calling(if that is all you can come up with then you have lost the debate)
ReplyDeleteHow about his cryptocurrency?
DeleteThere are none so blind as those who will not see.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately between Trump and Musk, the American economy is collapsing. The bright side in Musk's mind is he may be able to get a man on Mars. It is a sad situation. The best case scenario in 2026 there is another election and hopefully the Representatives and Senators will have the fortitude to impeach and remove Trump from office. Trump and his policies benefit Putin pure and simple.

I only watched briefly and will only say this is NO way to treat any person.... whether staged or not. I am not happy to have this person as our country's *leader* in any way. I have been on news *hiatus* lately....because it's just too painful, sad, and disgusting to watch

I’ve got 400 comments on one post susan, but that’s rare
DeleteInteresting comments. Those that support the bullying or think this is funny are depressing. Depressing because people can think that is an appropriate way for a leader of state to behave. Depressing because people who find it funny seem to be detached from reality.

ReplyDeleteFirst of all the US has given 110 billion to the Ukraine so far. The EU 160 billion. Most of this will be a loan. That's how many of these agreements work to prevent a war, which will cost a lot more.
As an American, I am ashamed. Can not understand how so many citizens find this behavior….. both now and for last 8 years and more, acceptable. Happy I’m near the end of my life as not seeing anything better in the near future. People around the world need to pray for us. And his end.
ReplyDeleteWe will pray for you. I am so sorry this abomination has happened to your nation. I have never been to the US but have had a lot of contact with mainly Americans through my blog. They are really lovely generous gifted, amusing and kind folk. Historically, evil does not last so hang in there, know that there are lots of us ( I can't say rooting for you because Down Under that is a very rude word ...means f..k..g) so lots of us are backing you. Take care and if the worst happens we have loads of space so come on down...although one of our overcrowded neighbours in the region would like to move in but as yet has not done so. Anyway not to worry,she'll be right mate and Bob's your uncle !
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support and kind words.♥️
DeleteYIKES! Kathy
ReplyDeleteI've read newspaper stories and watched the interview via you tube and am apalled at the shameful behaviour of two grown "men" towards a visitor to their country. I am also from below the equator and hope every single day that someone (or many someones) puts an end to his "presidency" because he certainly isn't acting like a President in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat I saw reminds me of countless exchanges in my family throughout my 63 years. Reading responses here is all too familiar as well. Can we call it what it was and be honest? It was no one's finest hour. Forget taking sides. Everyone behaved badly and peace is not one bit closer.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I read the U.K. and France have an idea...
"France and Britain are proposing a partial one-month truce between Russia and Ukraine that would not cover ground fighting, French President Emmanuel Macron told the daily newspaper Le Figaro on Sunday.
However, Macron said the truce would cover air, sea ,and energy infrastructure attacks."
So, they'll agree to only kill each other on the ground? Brilliant. --Elise
I did NOT vote for the orange turd. Or any of his so called party. He is doing so much harm and it is as we all predicted. Meanwhile the dems are broken. Buhbye my America.
