Good grief, I'm watching the interview in full now. Sickening stuff. How can anyone defend Trump and Vance. Vile vile vile.

And yet people will
I really hope this marks a turning point in how decent politicians respond to Trump

Well, they've shown their true colours. Listening to the rest is politics the other day and Rory was saying that we've never even thought, militarily, about what would happen if America is a strategic adversary, as it was unthinkable. Would take us ten years to even get to a position of being able to defend ourselves. Well, not so unthinkable now, is it, if we do what's right. And we don't have ten years.

violetsorrengail · 28/02/2025 21:10

@Mochudubh I was quite surprised he didn't punch him in the face to be honest

valder · 28/02/2025 21:10

If the State visit to UK goes ahead, when would it be anyone know?

And it goes without saying that the pile on by those two horrible men against one other man who has more experience of the horrors of war than they will ever have, was utterly awful.

But..... I have a spidey feeling that it was rehearsed and choreographed and it was planned as an ambush.

Over to you King Charles.
After that cheap trick Starmer pulled yesterday now you are going to have to entertain this clown.

lol, yes I'm sure a Tory government wouldn't have invited Trump over 🙄

fashionqueen0123 · 28/02/2025 21:11

I’ve just been watching CNBC and CNN.
The presenters all seem horrified tbh behind their very diplomatic words. One did ask another, did Trump actually even mention about Russia being the aggressor during this entire talk? 🙈

They’ve mentioned how inaccurate Trump has been, his words about Biden, his manner in the Oval Office etc

Theu don’t seem impressed.

Now I’m sure Fox News would be the opposite but not all Americans agree with this!

NotTerfNorCis · 28/02/2025 21:13

100% agree. The question is why. Withdrawing American support won't bring 'peace' overnight. But Trump likely doesn't care, he just wants America to disengage.

fashionqueen0123 · 28/02/2025 21:14

And now of course the Russians are laughing.

Interestingly, I'm listening to Rest Is Politics US with Anthony Scaramucci who served in the first Trump administration and he's musing that the Russians won't like it that much as they dislike and distrust volatile behaviour.

oceanflow · 28/02/2025 21:17

Millions in America will be appalled. But what can they do?

Vargas · 28/02/2025 21:18

I didn't think it was possible to loathe those two men any more than I did, but here we go, a new low. Disgusting behaviour.

I agree with your feeling of it being premeditated. Did you hear Lindsey Graham when questioned? He said he met Zelensky before the press conference and advised him not to rise to the bait, to get it over with and then meet behind closed doors to agree the deal or words to that effect. He knew beforehand what Vance and Trump were planning.

Get vocal, protest, post, boycott...

That leads to a video that is 7 years old and "not currently available on this device".

Don’t k ow why that happened. The title is Trump Abandons Zelenskyy, Defends Putin, and Proves His Unfitness (Again) by a guy called Steve Shives if any one wants to look for it.

Anthony Scaramucci was fired by Trump after working for him for 10 days. He hates Trump.

ssd · 28/02/2025 21:21

Maybe trump wasnt getting the deal he wanted with the minerals so this was set up to buy him more time

Lyannaa · 28/02/2025 21:21

He hates Trump because he's a traditional Republican and he understandably doesn't like what Trump has done to the party.

Yep. Rolling on the floor, laughing.

Love his sarcasm, too bad I don't think they'll get it

tobee · 28/02/2025 21:23

Yeah Trump does not speak well of The Mooch. He does not speak well of pretty much anyone who worked for him first term.

But you never hear anyone asking Trump why he appointed them if he so good at this; why did he not know not to hire these "terrible people"?

I do enjoy that podcast. I hope they do an emergency one after today and also Starmers visit. Interested that they said he would have been annoyed by Macron touching him and would have been watching immediately afterwards. Would he think the same about the State Visit invite? That pulling out the envelope was cringe 😬

No I didn't, but I'll try and find it and listen back. Was it on one of the US channels or YT do you know?

TBH my feeling about it was that it was so bizarre and so bloody awful that it had to be staged for some reason. Now I know with Trump no one can predict anything, but the fact that Vance was there and both T and V were the "bad cops" in full flight suggested some sort of "something is behind this" to me anyway.

As to why I'm not sure. But I think there was an ulterior motive, maybe a coded signal to Putin or something. Clearer and more knowledgeable heads than mine might figure something out!

EmeraldShamrock000 · 28/02/2025 21:24

Shocking tactics, unbelievable.

Derbee · 28/02/2025 21:24

America should be fucking ashamed. It’s absolutely disgraceful.

What a classy man Zelensky is. How he kept his cool so well, I’ll never know.

Lyannaa · 28/02/2025 21:25

The Rest Is Politics UK is doing an emergency show. I expect Mary Trump also will.
