I liked the part where Trump said “You wouldn’t have lasted two weeks” and got a “Three days, what Putin said” and Trump agreed immediately when he heard his boss’ name mentioned.
Fucking wicked jab from Zelenskyy that passed beneath the general moronic behavior. And honestly, they packed an incredible amount of stupid into 10 minutes.
Based on what I’ve read he likely did as well as shitting himself.
How has the USA allowed itself to be represented by this disgusting old man? Those of you who moan about the right but couldn’t be bothered to go vote for your party should be ashamed.
Took less than a month for Trump to take a once respected and benevolent country and drag it down to the world’s pariah.. The US is going to collapse economically, everyone knows it, even with all the lauded lay offs and ridiculous purges, in two years, the national debt will be 106% of GDP.. so I’ve read.
But the Kool Aid the cult has been drinking is strong, none will realise until it’s too late, that they’ve been screwed irreversibly ..
I fear for rational people in America
I fear for the world if/when America collapses. I don’t want to live in a world where China and Russia are the superpowers, and I still can’t quite believe how much chaos and destruction those two countries have managed to sow without stepping foot in the actual USA. Divide and conquer.
"My balloon animals are so big and so beautiful, you wouldn't believe it. Sometimes I do dogs, and even cats but really mostly it's snakes. It's always bigly balloon snakes. That's the best balloon animal I've been told. Anytime I arrive in my comically tiny car that has my entire cabinet jammed into it, everyone says, there goes Big Clown Donnie! Especially when Elon lets me wear my special squeaky shoes. And you know what? They love my pies. They love it when I creampie everyone. It's true, everyone knows this. Sometimes I even honk my big orange nose after giving them the biggest creampie when they stop me on the street. It's real old fashioned clown values, what America was built on. I've been told my nose honks are the honkiest honks to ever honk. These honks are really bold you know. They love it, they really do. I mean can you believe that? I wouldn't believe it, but it's very true and it is big. My circus is coming to town and Mexico is going to pay for it."
He may be quick study, but everything he’s learned about foreign diplomacy came from think tank keyboard philosophers who haven’t had a two-way conversation with another human being let alone conducted bilateral peace negotiations. Vance, more than Trump, comes across as complete fool every time he opens his mouth about foreign affairs, because with Vance is just a transparent posture.
That's the whole point. He IS smart, but his goal as a politician is to pander to Trump's base because that's where the profit is. He bet his career on that and it's paying dividends for him. If he were to actually act smart then he'd alienate all the morons that voted for him.
Did the same thing when he pretended to be from the back hills rather then the burbs.
James Donald Bowman has been a grifter since the get go. Get enough of a toe in to pretend to have seen action as a Marine, pretend to be close enough to the Hills to pretend to be one of the 'folk'.
I think there is a difference between smart and shrewd. There are some people who put all their intelligence points into fucking people over to get ahead. They could never be actual leaders or problem solvers, but they get a lot done because they don’t have pesky things like morality or rule following to get in the way.
Comes across as overgrown edge lord. Dude that said the n word while gaming into his late 20s and was the coolest atheist at private school, but got back with god for networking reasons.
He's never really given off the smart vibe. He puts off the pseudo-intellectual conservative vibe. He he has learned that using big words around conservatives makes him seem smart, but that's about it. He has proven lately that he has dogshit for brains.
That's going to be such a shitshow and I'm there for it. I don't mean the political side, I mean his kids and Melania all stabbing each other in the backs for a cut of his estate and throwing each other under the bus to make themselves look better.
No idea what's going to happen on the political side, but I'm sure it won't be good.
Not close to charismatic and powerful enough in a cult like sense. That’s why the handlers are pushing so much so fast, once trump dies they know it will fracture. No way the base will play nice with the tech bros and they need each other. Congress will revolt against Elon. They have to get this done now while trump can hold it all together for them.
I genuinely want to hear why you think this man has an ounce of intelligence. If he ever did, which he may have when he wrote his book considering he actually seems to value people of different nationalities and backgrounds, he seems to have sold it or killed it within himself for power
Yeah, Vance, his bff Elon musk, project 2025 author/ White House budget director Russell Vought, and in house eugenics advocate Steven Miller together or essentially the New World order. Trump is too stupid to understand how much he’s being used by these guys and he’s too egocentric to believe it if you were able to prove it to him. A gross man with a fifth grade speaking level who owes Russia and is acting like this is just a television show half the time. 🙄
In authoritarian regimes, the greatest threat to the leader usually comes from their second in command as the latter's frustration at waiting their turn grows. The leader knows this, and often takes their second-in-command out of the equation - with prejudice - as a pre-emptive strike. It's a dangerous position to be in, but many are tempted by the thought of being the one who lives long enough.
Vance is the most mid level white dude you’re ever going to meet. There are guys doing oil changes around the United States that could absolutely fucking baffle Vance.
The nick name “shark sucker” is perfect. He’s a parasite who latches on to real predators. He went to Yale law school and met his wife who is an immigrant who was part if the schools “Iraqi refugee resettlement program”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usha_Vance
How could he marry someone like this and then be part of this administration? Peter thiel was the first shark he latched on to and now he’s riding whale shark trump. He’s such a fucking bitch boy failing upwards.
Vance isn’t smart though. He needlessly spoke and made himself and Trump look bad to both the American public and to every country around the globe. He is a liability. I am surprised that Trump even still allows him to speak.
Yes, agreed. I know that I'm pretty upset about the way they both yell at Zalensky. These idiots are going to cause World War 3. We thought a lot of people died under Trumps Presidency during Covid, and how bad he downplayed it. That will be nothing compared what's about to happen I fear.
They are all in it for themselves. He’s VP and likely next in line so he’ll play ball until the party is done with trump. He’s a career politician and he’s already made it this far
That's an insult to clowns. If we took raw sewage, pumped it full of viruses, tied it into a orange sack of disgusting skin, starved it of love and taught it to hate, it would be on the first step of the horror that is Donald Trump.
Or alcohol, drugs, and a ton of medical problems. I'd also like to think that being among the worst human being plays a role but it would only if he had some kind of remorse
Zelensky will go down in history as on of the great leaders after this. He has the balls to stand up to a narcissistic sociopath and his ball licker when nobody else did.
To be fair Both Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer both corrected Trump on air about lies he told during a press conference. I imagine the administration will seek to limit joint press conferences going forward as it exposes Trump for the fool he is.
I have to think vance being there was in reaction to trump embarrassing himself with Macron and Starmer. But in true maga fashion the hoped for ambush turned into the biggest embarrassment so far.
I heard that, and I was like “what have you done for him, for him to thank YOU?” He thanked the prior administration before because they helped. But this administration wants him to roll over and accept whatever DT and Putin want (well whatever Putin wants)
He should know it, but even if he didn't there was no need to know it in that moment, he went out of his way to say the wrong year. r/confidentlyincorrect material
Honestly it muddles in my head was it 2008? Or was that Georgia I remember it in the news but Crimea feels not that long ago. I’d have to google, still if I was meeting the leader of Ukraine I’d probably prep a tiny bit and take him at his word on the dates
How to sabotage fascism. Please everyone take the time to read and spread this information
Prepare, organize and get ready.
It's going to get much worse guys. Stay safe out there. Make support groups and start removing your digital footprints from social media (but do not stay quiet! You can remove your footprints but also be loud about the current issues!)
Fascism is no joke, and Hitler dismantled German Democracy in 53 days.
Get a burner device/email, wear a mask, use linux distros and start private communities to help each other communicate, buy cheap foods that you can easily store and support each other from the shadows.
If you need help setting up and becoming more "unidentifiable", hit me up and I'll be happy to help. (Before reddit permabans me as they already did before for helping others).
"Democracy is only as strong as the education that surrounds it" ~ Socrates
Godspeed everyone.
Edit: Thank you everyone for the kind words
I got a TON of messages but if anyone is interested I made a separate community outside of reddit that answers all your questions more thoroughly
Read and watched but still not sure how an almost 50 year old white lady in middle management can help. Especially since it would seems like I was possessed or had a sudden mental illness if I started acting that way at work. And how do I know whose tires to slash? 😉
I mean, to be perfectly fair, though, also probably don't hit up anonymous randos on the internet claiming to provide a blueprint for subversive activities. Even if you're who you say you are, seems like a great way to invite a whole lot of unwanted attention.
Far-right groups have and are actively infiltrating left-wing organizations you can read the article “The Militia and the Mole” published by ProPublic. Also, the FBI will infiltrate your organization and offer you guns and bombs if you want it or not.
In light of of your post, as an European I'd like to make a friendly reminder that anyone who helped Trump into power is an accomplice of his actions, and any American citizen allowing their president to freely wreck their country and spreading mayhem all over the world without consequences are citizens complicit with his actions.
We aren’t laughing, it’s not funny, and if we were it’s not just at those clowns. It’s the entire dumpster fire that is the USA and its people, that apparently wanted this and are doing nothing to stop it.
As a Canadian, I’m not laughing at these clowns…they make me too sick to my stomach to even think about laughing. They are very dangerous people right now and I fear that they are going to bring the world to a dark place.
Imagine the cognitive deficits required for him to think he knew the year of that invasion better than Zelensky. This is sometime who requires those around him to agree when he says things like "the sun rises in the west," "2+2=73," and "Nome, Alaska has the highest average temperature of any place in the US"and he's simply forgotten that not everything that pops into his head is accurate.
This feels like watching a housewives reunion except with real life, implications for this country in the entire world. Embarrassing is not even a big enough word to describe the way this administration behaves.
Zelenskyy was talking about the original invasion in 2014, Trump randomly interrupted halfway through and said 2015, was corrected and said "Well I wasn't there then"
So why speak up? That's such a subtle "weak person" thing to do, try to correct someone, get corrected back, then pout and say "oh well how was I supposed to know?!"
And before, conveniently, Republicans removed the security of Ukraine from their platform. Hard to believe that there was a time when Ron DeSantis was attacking Obama for not supporting Ukraine strongly enough
He does that alot its just to throw off the person hes arguing with to make them look like an idiot and make him look more in control. It doesn't matter if he's completely wrong as long as he can derail or dominate the conversation. Typical narcissistic behavior.
I just want Trumpers to see what assholes Trump and Vance are but unfortunately I don’t see that happening. I wish Zelensky would have just slapped them both up.
They’ll see this as America finally doing what they’ve always wanted America to do: talk tough and talk over those who need their help. From a MAGA perspective, this meeting went exactly according to plan
My least favorite part was the dawning realization on Zelensky’s face that all of his hard work is going to be for nothing, that all of this was going to be for nothing. He did so much better in this role than he had any right to do, but it didn’t matter. You can almost see him deflate. Poor guy. He tried really hard. But now he’s trapped in some horrible nightmare where nothing he says or does matters. I imagine he’ll step down soon.
He was just trying to suggest that he wasn’t President at the time.
Which misses the point that Trump never even tried to get Russia out of Crimea and Donetsk. In fact, he weakened the sanctions imposed on Russia after they annexed Crimea.
Oh he is prepped, but not with facts or nuance. He’s prepped to spread misinformation and further the narrative pushed by Russia. He did that perfectly well here.
This was the same guy who claimed the splitting of the atom even though it was done from a new zealander in my local city. The BBC news even put out a headline correcting him at the time 🤣 he also claimed the invention of the telephone which was by A.G. Bell, a scotsman

My favorite part was when Trump tried to correct Zelensky on the date of the Crimea invasion and got it wrong.
