I cannot imagine the stress of the position that he is in. On top of the invasion, he knows full well that Trump is not on his side, but he still has to try.
At this point, Zelenskyy is just fucking with trump, and he knows it, and trump knows he knows it, and Zelenskyy knows that trump knows it. But what other card does Zelenskyy have to play at this point?
Honestly he should just make his requests more mundane to the point of sounding like a mother lecturing her child.
Zelenskyy urges trump to wear a winter coat. It’s cold out there, baby!
And that way, trump can’t try to pass it off as Zelenskyy being a tyrant, or a dictator. Or any of the other bullshit he’d do.
Zelenskyy urges trump to check his fly. Ha-ha, made you look!
There’s no such thing as coming to trump as a rrspectable man and be treated as a respectable man. That’s not how trump works. The way trump thinks is that everybody bows down to him, and those that don’t kiss the ring are doomed to face the wrath.
Whereas Zelenskyy is a respectable man, and is trying to act as such. But having a backbone clashes with trumps agenda.
As much as I wish that were possible, I think it’s honestly an unrealistic expectation. Trump fuckin HATES him.
It has nothing to do with hate. Trump is a pathetic parasite without a trace of backbone. He would work with a person who shat in his McDonald’s if he had something to gain from it (e.g JD Vance). Its just that he happens to be a russian asset.
No no - I mean that specifically and pointedly: orangeboi HATES Zelenskyy particularly, and personally, because he pushed back HARD last time he was in office and called him on his bullshit, which lead to one of (I’m laughing! I’m not crying! What are you talking about?) his impeachment attempts. He took it as a personal attack. Anytime someone doesn’t do what orangeboi says or wants, it’s a personal attack to him. That’s how his brain works.
(he won’t)
