I am once again begging foreign leaders—who will never see my request, thus rendering the exercise useless—to stop meeting with Donald Trump. Not in person; not over the phone. Never. It will never go well, and it is only getting worse as The Criminal becomes more and more addled, aggressive, and brainworm-infested. Route all diplomatic communications to subordinates; refuse to take his calls directly, decline invitations to meet. Not only is Donald Trump no longer fit for office, he isn't fit for conversations of any sort. You simply cannot predict whether the man will fly into a fit of uncontrolled rage the moment he lays eyes on you: He is that unstable.
He is like one of those poo-flinging monkeys at the zoo, and if you want to see him or are forced to listen to him make sure there is at least a thick sheet of plexiglass between you.
The Oval Office meeting between The Criminal, JD Vance, and Ukrainian president Zelenskyy today devolved into an absolute shitshow. That was not Zelenskyy's fault; he kept his cool plausibly well as Trump and Vance belittled and threatened him with a series of unhinged statements and flat-out lies.
America, on the other hand? America has once again been humiliated on the world stage.
"You've gotta be more thankful" -- remarkable scenes out of the White House as Trump and JD Vance team up to do Putin's bidding and demean Zelenskyy

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

The "Glenn" in this next clip is Brian Glenn, a far-right pseudo-reporter currently in the fascists' good graces and who is, ahem, the current boyfriend of conspiracy crank Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Throughout, The Criminal was clear. He was there to do Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's bidding, enforcing Putin's terms using Putin's frames.
There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

The Criminal has never been more than an ever-belligerent idiot, and the White House and allies are trying mightily to spin this as an episode of masculine ruggedness from the dementia-addled pro-Putin freak. It may work among his supporters, but I don't see how anyone in the rest of the world sees anything but a pair of ridiculous Russian puppets exposing their fear and incompetence to the world.
And then Vance gives Trump a little there-there pat on the arm to Grandpa Ranty. This did not go as they expected

This is not a strongman. This is a weak, confused, and frail man who has lost the ability to control himself in public settings. No wonder Elon Musk is taking on the lion's share of the presidency; at this rate of decline, Trump may not be fit for public appearances by April.
