The meeting between the US and Ukrainian presidents descended many times into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time”, people familiar with the matter said.

They added that the US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier.

“Zelenskyy was very negative” following the meeting, according to one of the officials, adding that European leaders were “not optimistic but pragmatic with planning next steps”.

    This is not how a president or anyone in a position of authority should talk or conduct themselves. I’m ashamed of our country and countrymen who support this administration.

    Slava Ukraini.

      This is what I think about everything this idiot does.

      Not just him. When asked who chose Budapest as a meeting place with Russia the WH Secretary responded “your mom did”. The US has become a fascist enabling kakistocracy. Assuming this even can be turned around, it’s gonna take decades before the US is taken seriously again. If ever.

      I wish we could make it clear to him and the rest of Ukraine how many of us support them and are horrified by how this administration has been behaving toward them, Russia, and the war in general.

        He doesnt care. You disagree with him and don’t support him, therefore you’re garbage and he’d rather dump literal diarrhea on your head than listen to what you want.

      This sort of temper tantrum is yet another sign his dementia has fallen off the cliff. I first noticed the in-your-face obvious signs in 2021 or 2022, and you don’t improve that condition.
