I thought he was with the press, I agree it probably put him at a defensive position.... that doesn't matter though. What really started it is, he said he would never sign another deal with the Russians than he tried a bully tactic. That isn't going to work, its suicidal with that group of people.The exchange with the guy in the blue suit was just piling on and bullying. He knew he could easily get away with it and joined in with the cool kids.
I've gone back and watched the context. The press conference wasn't hostile until Zelensky talked back to JD Vance who was stating that the US should be/is engaging in diplomacy. Trump should not have raised his voice and argued back as that wasn't the time nor the place, but just blindly blaming Trump/Vance (like what many are doing in this thread) isn't entirely accurate or justified. The way Zelensky approached it was very disrespectful, and Trump was disrespectful back to Zelensky.No, he was put on display all alone to be insulted and humiliated. That's how cowards act and the guy badgering him about the suit is just that.
It's how they treat everyone not in DC, even the American people
Lol, why cause Rubio came out and fellated trump on twitter?I know Trump and Rubio have had disagreements in the past, the issue was the way Rubio was sitting on the couch that was misread.
I just believe if you're bigger and more powerful you should be able to convey that rationally. We know it's very easy to bait Trump but I thought Vance would be harder (unless he was showing off for the boss). When my kids starts badgering me for something in public I react better than they did.I've gone back and watched the context.

Also, the guy badgering Zelensky about the suit is a moron.
