Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.

The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.

It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

This moment will be long forgotten by next week, nobody will remember he said that. Including him

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His views change according to whomever he spoke to last so im sure he’s moved on already

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

Yep, Vance wasn't there so there was nobody telling him what to say.

This guy is so fucking stupid it's unbelievable.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Idk, I think it's pretty believable, he was our President for 4 years already, so we have plenty of evidence.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That's true. There just seems to be no bottom of the dumb-barrel.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And cannot be wrong. Ever. If he says something, his shitty followers have to make it true, no matter how wrong and fucked up. Sharpie Alabama, MS13 literal tattoos, etc.

A real man can admit mistakes and learn. This fucking rapist Cheeto is just an embarrassment to humankind. Fuck him and fuck anyone that supports this orange GOP.

Ok first, this is a dope saying, second, are you old? Because this is shit old people say. Source: am old

[–] guy@piefed.social 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not particularly old, late 20's. But in Sweden we use proverbs pretty frequently

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Trump is such a fucking idiot. Don't waste your time thinking about this.

I'm an American, and I want my taxes going to Ukraine. This fucking asshole removed those. Fuck him. Fuck. Him.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

We're not, just sad a convicted fraudulent rapist was elected president and wants to be pope. Sad for mankind, sad for the future.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I'd much rather Ukraine than Israel. It's so much cheaper to let Ukraine whittle Russia down than deal with Russia directly. Let's give them whatever support they ask for until Russia hopefully collapses.

Blue fascist MAGA. fuck ukranus

[–] laserm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Remember to ask FSB to refill your chatgpt credits so you can at least spill longer strings of garbage. And Putin's government is a fascist regime.

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Enjoy your fascist banana republic on its way down the shitter.
The fascist-lite site deserve it too. And I'm having great fun watching it and seeing you all squirm.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] Bloomcole@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your evil banana republic with 2 factions of fanatics squawking at each other is great entertainment to the rest of the world.
100% deserved schadenfreude

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea me too. Maybe it's as he didn't have any cronies to interrupt the discussion so they can keep him on their option.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago
[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 17 points 1 year ago

He's just making it look like he's objective after being cornered into a meeting he didn't really want.

My conspiracy theory: Trump is dying. He no longerer fears the Russian Kompromat, and believes a change of heart to support Ukraine will be better for his legacy.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Trump is a through and through narcissist, with a touch of anti-social personality disorder. My point, is the only thing he cares about is himself, and what he can get out of a situation. I don't think he gives a crap about a legacy, much less whether people view him positively after he dies.

That's how I intend to paint him in history, at least

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wouldn't a narcissist fret a lot about their public image, even what's left of it after their death? I mean, the way this man brags about winning at golf, having every other country "kissing [his] ass" asking for deals after the tariffs, scoring high marks on his ~~intelligence~~ dementia tests, etc, it's quite clear he cares a lot about being seen as a powerful and talented person.

I don't know much about narcissism other than the popular definition so of course I could be completely wrong.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Partially agree. I don't think he cares what people think of him, only that they are thinking of him. So he wants to leave a legacy, but doesn't really care if it's good or bad, as long as a very vocal group loves him.

Don’t get our hopes up but The party when this pos dies is going to be epic

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Until you remember then you get this guy as president

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He doesn’t have the cult backing

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No but unlike Trump, who's a hypocrite, the couchfucker actually believes in all this shit they're pushing.

What Kompromat does the Kremlin have on Trump?

Professor Tim Walsh. Highly related to J. D. Vance as well

Translation: Not all of your base is ready to abandon Ukraine yet so give some lip service about Russia.
