Why Did Trump Throw Zelensky Out of White House?

My views on the Trump-Zelensky meeting: it looks like the special military operation is going to end. Amisha asks what exactly happened between Trump and Zelensky, what led to Zelensky being thrown out of the White House. It's crazy! Zelensky was lambasted, silently, by Trump and JD Vance live on air yesterday. If Zelensky has any shame left, he should resign with dignity. The more he delays and continues this comedic rant, the more troublesome his fall from power will be. What's your take on his future? Will he escape to a European country after relinquishing power post-ceasefire, possibly this year?

Yesterday was incredible. There was a live press briefing from the Oval Office. President Trump and Zelensky were sitting in chairs; to Trump's left were JD Vance and Marco Rubio; to Zelensky's right were some Ukrainians. The room was filled with media. The entire 45-50 minute video is on social media. Initially, short clips showed Zelensky and Trump shouting at each other, JD Vance intervening—horrific. It looked like Zelensky was ambushed and humiliated.

But watching the full video shows Zelensky started it. He was rude and disrespectful, looking for a fight. He seemed like he was high on something, provoking Trump and Vance. Trump stayed calm as long as possible, until Zelensky started pointing at Vance, saying raising his voice wouldn't make him right. How disrespectful to his hosts, especially the most powerful nation in the world, especially considering Zelensky is alive thanks to US and NATO support over the past three years. It was crazy; incredibly rude and disrespectful to the most powerful country and president.

Zelensky was trying to negotiate a deal live on camera—you don't do that. Diplomacy happens behind closed doors. When cameras are rolling, you need dignity and tact. Yesterday we saw what usually happens behind closed doors: yelling, negotiating, pushing back, bullying. We've been saying for three years that behind-closed-doors diplomacy is about hard power, arm-twisting, bullying, ultimatums. It's not nice, but yesterday, with cameras rolling, Zelensky tried to disrespect his hosts. Trump finally said enough. Zelensky came with demands, but he had zero leverage. He lives at the pleasure of the US president; if funding stops, he's done.

It seems the EU instigated this. After the meeting, insignificant EU leaders tweeted support for Zelensky. This looks like the beginning of the end for Zelensky unless the EU supports him. He's a traitor to his people and nation, colluding with the Biden regime and destroying his nation's demographics, human resources, wealth, infrastructure, sovereignty, prosperity, and future. He's a quisling, and it doesn't end well for quislings. Trump finally said enough, the meeting ended, the mineral wealth deal wasn't signed, and Zelensky and his entourage were kicked out of the White House. I don't blame Trump or Vance; it was entirely Zelensky's doing. Incredible scenes yesterday.
