Trump’s pivotal meeting with European leaders and Zelenskyy for peace talks.
So Trump met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska last Friday, got home, and played a round of golf on both Saturday and Sunday. The remaining big dogs of Europe, who have spent the past eight years sneering at this guy, dropped everything, jetting in to meet him at the White House today to hear all about the thing with Putin.
They were all working together – together.

She and Trump have been like-minded buddies since forever, and she gave the props due to the man once Merz stopped mewling for the cameras.
???? Italian PM Giorgia Meloni just gave Trump HUGE props for helping to put an END to the bIoody war in Ukraine, while Biden made it worse

For as much as people were holding their breaths that Volodymyr Zelenskyy might, as Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich reported, ‚put his foot in his mouth‘, the Ukrainian president was on his best behavior and actually sparkled with good humor.
This was a hilarious, light-hearted exchange.
REPORTER: „You look fabulous in that suit.“
POTUS: „That’s the reporter that attacked you last time.“
ZELENSKYY: „I remember.He’s in the same suit. I changed. You did not.“ ????????

And Zelenskyy got to stay for the whole thing this time. That in itself is hugely hopeful.
