Ahead of today's meeting with President Zelenskyy, Trump has decided to set expectations low, by showing he agrees with Putin.
That's it. That's what he seems to be saying.
As of my last post, I knew there was more pathetic stupidity as yet unseen in the miserable optics of Trump rolling out a red carpet for a war criminal. And of course there was. His crack team of operational security masterminds left sensitive docs on a hotel printer, and something (we still don't entirely know what) left some members of Trump's staff literally shaken. Trump still sounds like he has no understanding of the situation, confusing the defense of Ukraine for an act of continuing aggression--while Trump's good friend Putin continues to bomb civilians.
I am heartened that Zelenskyy will have other European leaders with him as support, hopefully to prevent an outright sandbagging, but when I hear talk of "land swaps" and see posts from Trump like the above, well--
Expectations are not set very high. A Starting position that rewards a dictator for an illegal invasion is a hell of a pathetic start. And honestly, Trump should kiss goodbye his dreams of a Nobel Prize,. He is an ignoble jackass.

Zel is wasting his and everyone's time, shouldn't even show up and if he does should just tell rump what to do with himself ...
Perhaps Trump will slip up under pressure and disclose his and Putin’s agenda for Ukraine. Trump is still desperate to deflect from the escalating Epstein exposure, so he may say something unexpected. Of course, it also depends on how he is cognitively functioning. Maybe this is meeting he walks or gets pulled out of literally.
