I feel like somebody needs to play them against each other.

I keep hoping they will turn on each other, or on Musk. Surely only a matter of time? Not enough space for their three absolutely gigantic egos in the universe the White House.

DrummingMousWife · 02/03/2025 17:07

I reckon Trump will fire JD and blame him for all this “mess” with Zelensky . trump is known to scapegoat those around him and tell a twisted tale, so now people are outside with banners I reckon he will look for a way to blame to Vance

Gosh - only the second...?

AnotherDayAnotherIdea · 02/03/2025 17:09

I was really surprised to watch the video, I only caught up with it last night.

What struck me is it was two on one, why did trump need his number 2 there? Zelensky was never going to get 50% of the conversation in like that.

Moreover I was amazed that this guy who was speaking in a second language and doing a great job of it wasn't even allowed to get his words out.

The business of "did you even say thank you?" was extremely undiplomatic and unprofessional of Vance. That's the sort of thing you say to your five year old. I'm aware that trump is old enough to be Zelenskyy's father but Vance isn't!!

I don't fully understand all the ins and outs of this war, but this was truly a moment thay will go down in history.

Seeing Mr Zelenskyy having a nice cup of tea with our PM this morning was a balm to my senses.

I don’t know - Hitler and Goring stuck together until 1945.

Mike Pence could give pointers on how this relationship will end...

@AnotherDayAnotherIdea Moreover I was amazed that this guy who was speaking in a second language and doing a great job of it wasn't even allowed to get his words out.

I did think, however, that he was doing an amazing job of body language and facial expresssions. There was even one in there that I could have sworn was "Beam me up Scotty".

The propaganda mill in the US is working overtime to blame the whole thing on Zelensky for perceived disrespect to the US.

Zelensky is the first leader not to kiss Trump's arse and was absolutely set up to fail. He stood up to the bully.

JD Vance is repulsive on multiple levels. The whole administration has been taken over by internet trolls and incels.

Me too; I know what you mean. God knows our Labour government is far from perfect and Starmer has his detractors, but at least we can be confident that he's not going bully and shout at the head of state of one of allies on live TV.

AnotherDayAnotherIdea · 02/03/2025 17:45

Right! No "did you say thank you for that cup of tea?!"
I think old Donald and his allies stand to make a lot of money from arms etc if there is a war to be honest.

OhYesImgoingtosay · 02/03/2025 17:48

JD Vance is horrific isn’t he. SNL got him spot on as well 😂

Uricon2 · 02/03/2025 17:50

I honestly feel that we are in such uncharted waters with the likes of Trump, Vance and Musk that any sort of playbook has been torn up and shredded and absolutely everybody normal is adrift, including heads of state. Obviously not Putin who, well, will be loving this disarray.

During DTs first term, apparently George W Bush was heard to say "And they called me "the idiot".

Musk is Goring - like a minister without portfolio.

All that business about disrespect was all rather Godfather. Perhaps they had a popcorn and pinstripe office movie night on Thursday and watched the box set.

"Guys guys, just call me Don Trump".

Wont be long before the Tate brothers are given some kind of role in government too . Lots of let’s say, strong characters 😂 so perhaps things will implode

Melania called him 'The Donald' so he's not far from 'The Don'. He's called himself king anyway.

Elon is the 'unofficial president', as he said.

JD Vance: the buffoon.

Minister for women, and minister for equality (or the American equivalent of)?

Especially when Trump and Vance have done fuck all for Zelensky. That was all Biden and the pettiness is astounding.

It was so contrived. And Zelensky did actually thank Trump and America more than once at the start of the meeting.

Good to see Vance receiving a warm welcome on his family ski trip in Vermont, need to be careful not to paint every American the same

I would be entirely unsurprised to see Tate given a role in the administration.

That is just how desperate they are to 'own the libs' even as their country goes down in flames.

Toddlers.

Vermont is pretty liberal so just him going there is a choice. Everything is a troll with them, maximise outrage at all times.

If anyone is interested between the Christian Right and Trump, I would suggest you watch "Praying for Armageddon" which explores these links and is directly affecting US foreign policy. You can find it on BBC iPlayer.

I did not know one third of Americans describe themselves as evangelical Christians. That is huge, and we need to remember in the UK that our societies are fundamentally different.
