Editorial: A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky

I don't usually get upset by world news. I was genuinely upset about what happened today.
I cannot imagine being in Zelensky's position, having the future of his country depend on how skilled he can be at placating a bunch of mean children who are needling him with ridiculous lies in front of the entire planet and then yelling at him when he pushes back. And probably beating himself up (as the press will surely do) about how, in hindsight, he should have done a better job. Not that Trump should have done something different: That he should have.
Fuck 'em. Sure, in a theoretical sense, it's true. But it's not even the point. The bullying nature of the whole setup, to make it "his fault" when everything blows up because of Trump and Vance's cruel posturing, is the point.
I just sent Ukraine's defense ministry some money: https://u24.gov.ua/ and click on "donate now" in the top right corner.
Fuck 'em up, guys. These assholes do not represent us.
- I’m not usually interested in Trump because he’s always stupid on his Truth Social thing, but insulting another president that he invited as a guest in front of cameras and in the Oval Office? I don’t think there has been a biggest shit show so far.
  
  And yet I found it completely predictable.
  Trump is so goddamn American: a boorish bully who thinks they’re the best when really he’s a fat idiot.
  We absolutely deserve him. It’s a shame he’ll hurt other countries.
  
  If you don't count Jan 6.
  Even then it's waaaayyy up there. And that's saying something, he's a shitshow factory.
- One small plus is at least this behaviour is being displayed to the world, so people can see exactly what Trumps like to deal with.
  
  You know that entire spectacle was staged.
  They put President Zelensky in a position to be unable to refuse this ambush. They planned to gang up on, bully, and humiliate him on camera, and then go viral with “kicking him out of the White House”. His maggots love this shit show.
- Right there with you. These fucking fascist idiots make me sick. Also with you on the united24 giving.
  
  Yeah. It makes me feel physically ill when I think of it. I'm not even joking. It's mostly not even anger, although there is that, it's just a sick wrong feeling inside.

1st off not an American
I have spent the last 8 years listening to how terrible trump is from Americans. When the actual fuck are you going to do something about it.
Either do shit about it or own the fact that America is a rouge state that the rest of the world can deal with appropriately. I'm equal parts bored of you and terrified of what you will allow to happen next
- Dude, we're fucking trying.
  I wrote letters to voters trying to keep this guy out of office, I donated money, I hassled friends and family to get them to vote, I wrote letters to my congress people. I've been to one protest so far, which is not enough. I argue with people in person about politics and I shitpost on Lemmy, which seems like a waste of time electoral-outcome-wise, but I think the wild success the Russian troll farms are having kind of implies that there's at least a little bit of impact from it.
  I think this weekend I will apply for some jobs outside the US. I can't stand the idea of my taxes going to help all this bullshit happen. I have no idea how much if any I will follow through on that kind of thing, but I've been thinking about it anyway, and this was a hell of a kick in the pants to motivate it. It is probably better for my safety, to be honest, anyway.
  I'm not asking for a medal from you for any of that of course. I get it. But also, helping us fix our democracy is going to be a better and safer way for the rest of the world than is trying to come after us as a "rogue state." That kind of problem is still in our wheelhouse, and is likely to remain so for the most part even as Trump tears apart all the rest of it.
  
  Dude, we're fucking trying.
  No, we're not. Not really. Really trying, at this point, requires thinking beyond "electoral outcomes."
  If you were asked what Russians should do to stop Putin, would your answer be electoralism?
  
  While I appreciate everything your doing. The reality as I see it is your in the minority. Until that changes America is fucked and destined to bring us l down with you.
  I get and agree "not America" should be able to stand without you. Your political body has spent my life time at least working against that.
  I will admit that I'm exceeding frustrated with the situation i have less than fuck all control over while living within your dead range of 2 high priority nuke targets when w3 kicks off again because America felt the need to elect a retarded monkey as president while posting old man dream is the good old days
  Edit. Honestly I'm half the age of these old cunt in charge and all I want to do is leave the world in a better place for my granddaughter than I found it. That the hell is wrong with these assholes and their supporters
  
  Even if you get a job outside the US, if you keep citizenship, you will still be charged taxes.
- A couple people have tried. The problem is, the deck is stacked against us, and most Americans aren't yet feeling the squeeze.
  
  Sadly that's the problem. Too many are ateast indifferent to the current status
  And like Germany in ww2 no one will remember the we tried crowed. You will just be remembered as a facist country
- As an American, I feel the exact same. I hope this country implodes on top of the masses. Today we were supposed to boycott and one of my coworkers bought a dress online through Amazon, another bought gas and concert tickets, and my piece of shit in-laws invited themselves on a six hour road trip to my city without my consent. I'm done. Fuck every single person here.

From now on I boycott US products. A communist in the office will ruin your country. it is time for the EU to look for new partners.

LOL
Orange Clown VS The Green Goblin
Come watch the shitshow!!!
