Watching Trump and Vance gang up on Zelenskyy like a couple of high school bullies was straight-up embarrassing. The guy is literally fighting for his country's survival, and these two clowns are sitting there mocking him like some power-tripping jocks picking on the quiet kid. Imagine risking your life and your nation's future just to get publicly humiliated by a guy who dodged the draft and another dude who just follows him around like a lost puppy. It’s not even about politics at this point, it’s basic human decency. But nah, instead of showing leadership, they decided to flex on someone who actually needs U.S. support. The whole thing was cringeworthy as hell, and it’s wild that this is how America treats its allies now. Total embarrassment
