Hi friends - X has gotten just a bit too weird for me. I'm not deleting this account but don't plan on posting/lurking here anymore with any level of regularity. I'm putting links to my Substack and LinkedIn accounts in my bio and hope to see you there! 👋
Here's what happened inside the White House after the Oval Office shouting match:
Trump huddled with his key advisers immediately afterward inside the Oval.
According to a White House official, Trump consulted Vance, Rubio, Bessent, etc. That was when Trump decided that Zelensky was "not in a place to negotiate." He directed Secretary Rubio and his national security adviser Mike Waltz to deliver the message: it was time for Zelensky to leave.
The Ukrainians were holding nearby in a separate room. (That's standard for foreign leader visits.) Typically they reconvene for lunch. But the Ukrainians would not be dining at the White House. As the prepared food sat nearby on carts in a hallway, the Ukrainians were instructed to leave.
The White House official said the Ukrainians wanted to continue the talks. But they were told no.
Zelensky left shortly thereafter.
In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
Can one person show me actual evidence @jaketapper was part of an elaborate cover of Biden’s cognitive decline? So far it’s just clips of him correcting bullies who pointed to his stutter…which is well documented he’s had since childhood.
I look forward to reading his new book.
Every few weeks lately, @Bug_Hall tweets something abhorrent and goes viral. And the urge to put him on blast is very real. His IVF tweet today is no exception.
But remember, folks:
1) He’s engagement farming. Don’t give him what he wants.
2) He’s grown man named Bug. (2)
