Latest from the mouth of Trump. A shameless attack on Zelensky, saying he is a war monger responsible for the war on Ukraine and needs to go. Hot on the heels of a deal with Putin for Diesel.
This obviously smoke and mirrors to deflect attention away from the Iran war, hoping that voters in the US won’t blame Trump for spiralling fuel prices but will blame Zelensky.
In actual fact the diesel the US will get from Putin is negligible and won’t be more than a day’s supply, so is just window dressing to take the heat off him as a warmonger responsible for sending fuel prices spiralling.

Trump is a disgusting, deranged, dangerous idiot, whom, I would imagine, most country leaders mainly ignore.

I feel so sorry for all Ukrainians.

Shame on Putin and Trump.

Most of the world know which country needs a new President, and it isn't Ukraine.

Trump has long held tension and resentment against Zelensky. This time Zelensky publicly criticising Trump for his decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel ( Z criticism understandable) has triggered him yet again.

Trump hates public criticism, it's a personal injury to his fragile ego and his image of himself. He sees himself as superior and more powerful than Zelensky. Trump's habitual behavioural response is to belittle, hit out and injure and humiliate Zelensky in return. He tells Z to stop attacking Russia's oil refineries- to cower Z. He calls for Z to be replaced - to humiliate and belittle him.

All this, to make himself feel better with no care for the impact on Ukraine and its vulnerability against Russian aggression.

Shameless and shabby. That a US president behaves in this way is extraordinary. However, sadly the world has become accustomed to Trump's outbursts. Hopefully though- never immune to his despicable behaviours.

Trump is not in control of his behavioural triggers- enormously concerning. Yes it is the US that needs a new president.

His attitude towards Putin always gives me cause for concern and should give US voters cause for concern as well as the rest of us. And now that it has been revealed that Putin had a hand in the Brexit vote who is to say that he won’t equally have a hand in midterm elections in the US or had a hand in making Trump president. Certainly having a puppet like Trump serves him well.

I completely agree flowers
