TRUMP
Vance Is Not Our Vice President
He is Trump’s attack dog — his job is to protect Trump from the truth
What a fiasco yesterday’s Oval Office visit with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was. I’ve heard countless talking heads bemoan the embarrassment, but they all seem to miss the point: this wasn’t a planned attack or a strategic maneuver.
Watch the tape again — the whole tape — not just the part where Trump and Vance attack. Their attack was a visceral response to the words Zelenskyy was trying to say—words that would have exposed the lies Trump has been repeating for years, ever since Ukraine was attacked in 2022.
Zelenskyy reminded the ignoramus masquerading as the American president that Putin has made deals before and has broken them. What’s more, Zelenskyy demonstrated for the entire world the negotiation skills Trump lacks, including the understanding that when a person proves himself to be untrustworthy, it is madness to trust them.
