On Sunday Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at his putrid Palm Beach palace, Mar-a-Lago. It went a bit better than the last meeting they had at the White House, where Trump and his cronies ambushed Zelenskyy and failed in their attempts to humiliate him<\/a><\/strong>. But that doesn’t mean that it went well this time.<\/p>\n

Prior to the meeting it was revealed that Trump had spoken first to his boss, Vladimir Putin. Presumably to get his instructions for how to conduct the meeting. And Putin must have been pleased by what he saw. Trump could not have been more obedient to the agenda of his Russian master. There was little of substance that Trump could deliver afterward.<\/p>\n

When asked by the press how the meeting went, Trump rattled off some clich\u00e9 talking points about the it being “productive”<\/em> and\/or “constructive,”<\/em> but no plans were laid out for peace, and no agreements were announced. It was typical Trumpian blather that was utterly devoid of anything meaningful, or even coherent. And it didn’t further the peace process any more than his prior diplomatic charades…<\/p>\n

However, the lack of progress didn’t deter Trump from dispensing more of his hallmark bullshittery on Monday morning to the media gathered for an unrelated meeting with Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu.. Included was Trump’s absurdly unwarranted opinion that this time Putin is serious about peace, and “wants Ukraine to succeed<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/em> He has a funny way of showing that, by bombing civilian targets in Ukrainian cities and slaughtering untold numbers of innocent people. And when challenged on that, Trump actually tried to equate Ukraine’s defensive actions with Russia’s savage aggression.<\/p>\n

One especially disturbing issue arose when Trump was asked about reports that Ukraine had bombed one of Putin’s many residences in Russia. Trump replied that…<\/p>\n

“I don’t like it. It’s not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me about it. Early in the morning. He said he was attacked…I learned about it from President Putin today. I was very angry about it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
