Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.
The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.
It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.
Everybody plays him, but he’s not smart enough to see it.
Russia has a long tradition of espionage.
It’s amazing how this man’s brain is so feeble that he just fully believes what the last person he met with him tells him.
I need to see this play out like a heist movie. Two opposing advisors are battling each other to get their idea in his head for the big speech. They get into some zany hijinks trying to be the last to speak to him. Some real spy vs spy stuff.
Inception of the stupid. Written, Directed and Produced by the Coen Brothers.
I believe that in the medical community this is called Joe Rogan’s Disease
tapping me along
Anyone got a trump-to-english conversion for this one?
“Tapping me along” made me imagine someone tapping a golf ball. Nudging it, but not making a big swing, it could be indicative of a subtle influence.
Trump may not know a lot about a lot, but he spends enough time golfing to potentially use a metaphor from it. On the other hand, I’ve never golfed (except the mini kind), so I could be way off.
Ever see a really well trained dog where all you have to do is tap the spot beside you and they bound over to you and dutifully sit in that spot?
Something odd is happening with the right, seems like they’re trying to hedge their bets for blowback.
Trump definitely knew this all along, to say this now seems like damage control.
Then earlier this week Rogan calling out the deportations to El Salvador without a trial, saying it was an overcorrection to the left that has gone too far.
I wonder if the American people will buy it.
Overcorrection to the LEFT???
his words not mine but yeah that’s what he said
meaning he’s over correcting as a response to what the left was doing
Its weirder than that, had someone on lemmy try to convince me that deportations, purity tests and fascism are all far left policies. Its like they’re trying to shift all their own shit onto some imaginary other.
They are all fascist policies that the US “left” (a.k.a. liberals/Democrats) support
Scene: DJT standing awkwardly at a table. Beside him, sitting on the floor is Vladimir Putin with his Entire Arm shoved up DJT’s ass.
DJT: I’m starting to think Putin might be manipulating me.
Trump should know how to recognize tapping people along, it’s one of his signature moves, right up there with tax fraud, stiffing creditors and strategic bankruptcy.
Rape bruh
Treason and a riot
Holy shit, he might have finally gotten through to that dunce in some small way.
I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think “LOL” is the best response
The human embodiment of Internet Explorer, everyone.
