Weak, cowardly, craven. For Trump to cower in face of such brutal, murderous bullying expansionism is 1 thing. But to bend over and blame the victim of an occupying invader is a stain on US govt. forever. Give Alaska & Calif to Putin if ur so keen on ceding territory. #artofdeal

@elonmusk why do you never talk about Russian aggression or standing up to Russian expansionism? Are you cowed? Conflicted? Corrupted? Why so critical of ukraine as the invaded? Why should they be so "grateful" for western allies, mindful of 2 world wars, standing up to fascists

This is most damning yet. Zelenskyy has to not to mention any "negativity" regarding lifelong dictator Putin being the actual aggressor invading a sovereign country & killing Ukrainians. Trump is a surrender monkey of the worst most repellent kind. Shameful. Historically shameful
A reporter asks Trump what Zelenskyy needs to do to restart talks:
"He doesn't have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that, all negative things."
Donald Trump is big mad when Zelenskyy rightfully torches Putin.

"3 yrs ago he was out in the political wilderness. Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine had turned him into a pariah"
Aggressor nations annexing another shud always be met with condemnation
Trump is bending over
Shameful appeasement
