Zelensky Threw His Nation Below the Bus to Audition for MSNBC
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Oval Workplace look was, with out query, the most important public self-immolation by a rustic’s chief in world historical past.
First, Zelensky arrives on the White Home dressed like a tiny Ninja. Then, in entrance of the American media within the Oval Workplace with President Trump and Vice President Vance sitting proper there, he challenges Vance to elucidate how diplomacy can be attainable as we speak when when American diplomacy failed beneath former President Obama in 2014.
“What sort of diplomacy, JD, are you talking about?” the Tiny Ninja sarcastically requested like a wiseass. “What do you imply?”
My mouth actually swung open. First off, when you’re in a public discussion board, you don’t tackle the Vice President by his first identify, particularly after you present up and not using a tie. Secondly, you don’t disrespect the President and Vice President along with your silly speaking factors.
Zelensky actually blew it. He has vastly overestimated the endurance and charity of the American folks.
