No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

The Oval Office ambush
There is a deep-seated hostility from Trump and Vance towards Zelenskyy that defies short term fixes – so the test of courage falls to other Western leaders.

Billionaires like Jeff Bezos shouldn’t pay a lower tax rate than a Boston public school teacher.
The wealthiest and most powerful people in this country should be paying their fair share — not getting tax breaks from Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress.

The behavior of Trump & Vance towards President Zelensky is shocking, disrespectful, and unAmerican.
Ukraine is defending its sovereignty against an aggressive adversary, and the US must stand with 🇺🇦 against Putin’s invasion.
Unfortunately, the only person happy about how this played out is Putin.

This pro-Trump reporter attacking Zelenksy like this is proof that the whole photo op was a set up. The Trumpist had a narrative going in -- Zelensky was disrespectful of Trump/USA, ungrateful, not worthy of support -- and everything was engineered with that narrative in mind.
The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower.
