Zelenskyy Gets Pimp-Slapped on Live TV by Trump in White House Meeting UPDATE: Lindsey Graham Blames Zelenskyy for ‘Complete, Utter Disaster’

“Pimp-slapped,” metaphorically speaking, of course. This event has astonished the world. When it happened, my office TV was tuned to Fox News, but I immediately switched over to MSNBC to see how they were reacting and . . . Well, it would be wrong to say it’s driven them crazy, as they’ve been non compos mentis for years, but whatever else the MSNBC crowd was obsessed over before, they’ve suddenly forgotten it and will be 24/7 on this story until further notice. The big question, really, is why Trump decided to chew out the president of Ukraine in public.

My first thought was, well, a big slice of Trump’s hard-core supporters hate Zelenskyy and don’t like the way he’s been hailed as a latter-day Winston Churchill for the past three years. So, inasmuch as what Trump did was a performance, it would be applauded by that segment of Trump’s basis. But as I contemplated it a bit longer, it occurred to me that the intended audience might be Our European Allies — i.e., the deadbeats who haven’t been paying their share for NATO, and who think American taxpayers should have no higher priority than pouring billions of dollars into Ukraine. In this analysis, Trump slapped around Zelenskyy to send a message to the Europeans: “Free ride’s over, guys. Y’all want to save Ukraine, do it on your own dime.” But that’s just my guess.

Maybe Trump just lost his temper, but I think there must have been some kind of four-dimensional chess strategy involved, and I reckon the foreign policy specialists will figure it out evenutally. In the meantime, we can just sit back and watch liberals’ heads explode.

See, this is why we voted for Trump. Would we be getting this kind of quality entertainment from Kamala Harris? I don’t think so.

UPDATE: Thanks to Evil Blogger Lady for this:

Lindsey Graham, who is very pro-Ukraine, puts the blame for this “disaster” squarely on Zelenskyy, and says he should resign.
