Zelensky - Trump meeting.…just horrible. BBC news live.

[JanieJS]

Scary stuff.

I don't know what to say.

I think there is 'something ' here that Putin has on this pair of childish narcisstic bully boys and it's been made clear that Putin will be conceding nothing - Zelensky has to be made to look stupid- which of course he doesn't -

Trump is an absolute disgrace to the office as is Vance.

Zelensky did an unbelievable job keeping calm.

Listening to this has really shaken me. I hate seeing aggression and bullying. Trump is so far from the truth. And Vance is such a nasty little sidekick. I don't remember previous press conferences having the VP joining in.

It's a very hard watch

I can’t remember feeling so shocked ever as watching this exchange .

@LadyKenya well I actually agreed to some extent with that as Trumps mind only wants flattery but unfortunately I think he's going to have to change tack and accept there's no working with them

No, this is why no-one is speaking up - because they'll get some of the same from this bigmouth madman.

I can't believe what we've just witnessed, I'm stunned

It was a pile on with a pack mentality, just awful to watch...

Honestly I never believed there was an attempt because after everything he has done recently no-one has tried again

I hope following this awful display that the invitation to a second state visit to the UK is withdrawn - not betting on it though!!

Yes that's a good point u think just fake for propaganda?

Really uncomfortable. When Vance & Trump said ‘you haven't said thank you’ - it felt like emotionally abusive parents raining down on a child.

Hope Prince Charles has a Ukrainian chef

I wondered that tbh.

What a pair of absolute minnows those two are next to Zelensky.

Fuck them both, Putin puppets.

Well done Zelensky !! You are worth 1,000 of Donald Trump.

Hitler round II. Everyone said that comparison was way too over the top and sensational to say but seriously are we bothering to pretend otherwise from tonight? Where does it go from here? Serious question. It's the darkest thing we've seen I think, in politics, for a very long time and it feels portentious.

I cannot for the life of me understand why this is televised!

Zelensky is a real man. Trump is an odious creep.

Starmer is managing to be dignified in all this. Grateful the UK has him and not Johnson right now. God could you imagine

Terrifying.

Yes, a lot of posts were positive in the way that the PM dealt with Trump. But I really feel that he is so mercurial, that he just cannot be trusted. I dislike the way that this Country is always going on about a 'special relationship' with the USA. How can the PM deal with such a man!

I actually gasped at the “you haven’t said thank you” stuff. Actually abusive behaviour live on TV. No wonder some people think they can get away with this stuff in their own homes. Horrible to watch, and quite upsetting.

I dont have much hope of Starmer speaking up..Ive just watched this on the news horrific bullying by Trump and Vance.They behaved like schoolboy bullys.Unfortunatly Zelensky doesnt have a king to fawn over Trump..

A hard watch. Two ignorant self serving bullies at work. “Say thank you” urgh.
