Trump and Vance showed a level of crassness and vulgarity never seen before in the White House with a foreign leader and guest. They were the worst kind of ignorant disgusting bully. They’ve turned our nation into a global embarrassment. And a global threat.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.
Or providing security for money.
It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.
Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.
