I know the whole thing about Trump being a narcissist is kind of surface level problems with the US, but I rarely actually sit through listening to him speak and it's striking how on the nose the characteristics are. It seems clear he wants to humiliate the guy in front of a large audience and make him kiss the ring, and that's why it's not a private meeting. Though in actuality, to me, it humiliates everyone involved in the discussion; they all come out looking ridiculous in various ways. It's like one of those internet arguments that feels important to the people involved in the moment, but just looks like petty noise from the outside.

I think that mess was intentional plan by trump. trump said something to the effect of "its good we did this in front of the cameras because the American people need to see what I have to deal with"

I don't think it was about humiliation so much as trying to undo years of propaganda. Showing people that zelenski isn't the kind of heroic brave man the media made him out to be.

Zelenski came out of that looking weak, belligerent, and ungrateful. But Trump just came out of that looking like trump.

weird, to me zelensky came out as courageous (tho dumb and unreasonable) while both vance and trump came out as wimps. Zelensky is after all raising his voice at his enablers.

"mr zelensky youre being disrespectful!" Lmao just come on, its your home turf and he is your subject, why do you say it like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Vance definitely came out of it looking like a debate bro and a loser.
