4 lessons to be learned from Zelensky’s White House meeting

https://thehill.com/homenews/5177131-zelensky-trump-meeting/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The author of the article states that zelensky did rather poorly in his televised meeting with Trump and crew. He also offers advice on things that he feels should have been handled more skillfully. I personally disagree, and it seemed like a lot of calculated low blows from just about everyone else in the room besides zelensky, they were all very critical of him. And zelensky is only trying to save his people. Anyway, i disagree that zelensky should have done anything better, because this meeting has resulted in more aid from Europe. Europe knows 100% now that Trump doesn't have any interest in helping, and before, there may have still been some doubt as to whether or not he would abandon Ukraine. If anybody else has any thoughts, please share.

Yeah sounds like The Hill is putting all the blame on Zelenskyy, throwing him further under the bus.

1. He didn't dress right (then they say Elon Musk didn't either but he's special)
2. He didn't use an interpreter and used the wrong word for suit after he got criticized on his clothing.
3. Do the hard conversations off camera. Err he was asked the questions... It was a trap.
4. He needs to get out of the way.

This was orchestrated to discredit Zelenskyy and it backfired spectacularly. Zelenskyy did everything right to stand up to the bullies and it was crystal clear already the US under Trump is now a Russian puppet.

I expected better from The Hill. Actually not really since The Hill has been 'dismissing' everyone critical of Israel.

In media news, the Washington-based news outlet The Hill has fired Briahna Joy Gray, the co-host of “Rising,” The Hill’s daily morning show. Gray has been a vocal critic of Israel’s war on Gaza. Last year, The Hill also fired the political commentator Katie Halper after she called Israel an apartheid state.

They have their own channels now
