Basically saying Zelensky can come back to the table after he’s sat in the corner and thought about what he did. What a condescending, delusional pile of excrement with a bad wig. ---

CNN reporting that – after the ‘meeting --’ the White House essentially ended talks and ‘ordered’ the Ukrainians out of the building. Think about that. ETA: Vlad buying $TRUMP crypto meme coin today?? ---

That meeting will go down in history, for all the worst reasons. Trump might just have finally stepped in the biggest pile of dog-shit, that will never come off his platform heels. What a fucking disgrace. ---

And still Congress will be silent. I work internationally. I speak to people from around the world on a daily basis, and many are genuine friends.

> [@velomont](#): > > people who are impressed with Trump and Vance’s behaviour Absolutely. I’m not going to look on “truth social” or twitler, yet 100% of the MAGAs would be surely back the “tough stance” Trump and Vance took on the ungrateful and disrespectfully dressed leader of a shitty nation that Joe Biden was duped into sending $350 billion (I wasn’t writing the checks, yet I’ve heard it closer to $120 billion yet what does accuracy or truth matter - Trump lost the trillions he was going to ravage Ukraine for today). And congress should not be silent. The backing (and money) sent to support Ukraine was both the GOP and Democrats. Of course none of the GOP will call out Trump for this disgrace yet the Democrats should have already. And then called out the silent GOP. ---

Disgusting as hell but not unexpected. I’m sure GOP congressmen are beside themselves how to justify sucking his dick once again over this latest shitshow. Anyone who continues to support this pig is beyond redemption. ---

I apologize if this is a duplicate (it’s happened last week, which seems like a year ago), but remember when young X-AE-A-xii Musk wiped his nose boogers on Trump’s desk? Trump bought in a new desk and sent the old booger one out to be refinished. > **[Trump replaces Resolute Desk after Musk’s son picks nose in Oval Office](https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/trump-picks-temporary-resolute-desk-after-musks-son-gets-nosy-with-original/)** > > Donald Trump has temporarily replaced the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office after Elon Musk’s son seemingly wiped a booger on it during their viral visit to the White House last week. The next time I hear one of those idiots blather about their tax dollars being wasted, I’m going to tell they can pretend THEIR tax dollars went to pay for the booger desk repair and I’ll pretend MY tax dollars went to pay to help starving children with AIDS, and we’ll both sleep well. ---

I know we’ve got discussion of the Trump monstrosities here, and we can’t have a separate thread for every ghastly thing Trump does, but I think the [disgusting stunt](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trumps-disgusting-shakedown-of-zelensky/1014940/) from today probably merits its own discussion.

I sent another useless email to my congress person: I will be brief. I am mortally embarrassed by the way the United States president treated President Zelensky today during a live meeting at the White House. Have we no shame? Have we no concept of how to treat each other especially in public. I am embarrassed to be an American. And not a word of outrage from anyone in Congress? Shame on you all for tolerating this nonsense. There is nothing left to say. ---
