Left Column on Zelenskyy v. Trump

‘Pathetic’

It is now imaginable that the leader of what is still the Free World could act in such a manner in a public meeting toward anyone who is a guest at the White House. Kinda says it all. Two men with way too much money acting like adolescents. Pathetic.

Remove Trump

I watched this happen on live TV and I simply could not believe my eyes and ears. No president has ever, ever behaved like that with another head of state in the 236 years since the Constitution has been in force. No president has ever betrayed the trust of the American people the way Donald Trump did Friday. If he can’t be removed via the 25th Amendment, then he needs to be impeached, tried, convicted and removed so that his lapdog can take over. At least Vance has an education.

‘Definition of Arrogance’

Friday, I was filled with rage, but held myself back from writing so as not to regret my choice of words.

Trump and Vance are the definition of arrogance. Their performance in the oval office yesterday took our country to the lowest point that I could have ever thought possible. They have no respect for the office they hold. 

Those who voted for this pathetic pair will continue to support them and see this as take-charge, tough talk. They will refuse to see it for what it is, demeaning to our country and disrespecting a world leader who was an invited guest to the White House. I fear those voters as much as I fear Trump and Vance. 

How does the United States recover from such an asinine act? 

Trump told President Zelensky that he was 'Gambling with World War III,' when in reality Trump is doing just that. I never thought I'd live to see World War III, but now I fear what the coming days may bring.
