(I've never seen anything like that on TV from the White House that I can remember.)
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Friday during a White House meeting ostensibly devoted to a new mineral deal.
“Do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” Vance asked Zelensky. “Right now you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.
“You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict,” Vance added, noting that Zelensky was “forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems.”
“During war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have a nice ocean and don’t feel now, but you will feel it in the future,” Zelensky said.
Zelensky then invited Vance to visit Ukraine, and Vance accused Zelensky of embarking on propaganda tours.
“You don’t know that,” Trump said, cutting in as Zelensky continued to try to interrupt. “Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. … You’re in no position to dictate what we are going to feel. We are going to feel very good. … You’re right now not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position and [Vance] happens to be right about it.”
“You don’t have the cards right now,” Trump added. “With us you start having cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country.”
Vance then cut in, asking Zelensky if he had said “thank you” at all during the meeting.
“You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October,” Vance said. “Offer some words of appreciation to the United States of America and the president who is trying to save your country.”

Zelensky responded by accusing Vance of speaking “very loudly,” at which point Trump cut in to defend Vance.
“Your country is in big trouble,” Trump said.
“I know,” said Zelensky.
The two began arguing about the billions of dollars and military equipment the United States provided to Ukraine.
“It’s going to be a very hard thing to do business like this,” Trump said.
Vance then suggested it would have been better to litigate the disagreements in a meeting, rather than in front of reporters.
“I think that it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on. That’s why I kept this going so long,” Trump said. “You have to be thankful, you don’t have the cards.”
“I am very thankful,” Zelensky said.
Trump said that “attitudes have to change” adding that the heated exchange is “great television.”
Zelensky departed without signing the mineral deal.

People on other blogs are saying that Vance should have kept his mouth shut. Actually it is a good bargaining and behavioral attack, let your second in commend act as the attack dog so the other party focuses their attention and anger on him and Trump watch and listen to the antagonist's reply and then come in as the "peace" maker and "more" understanding so the antagonist is better prepared to agree and acquiesce to Trump. A perfect chess move! Think Good cop, Bad cop but more diplomatic... Beside, the little faggot needed to be pounded down a peg or two. If you listened closely Trump gave accolades to Vance and the Z fag didn't bite.
