President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sat down for a remarkable fifteen-minute meet at the Vatican on Saturday, where both heads of state were present at Pope Francis ‘ funeral service. This was their first tête-à-tête since the lights in the Oval Office on February 28. Not least of all because it was only Trump and Zelensky talking points out alone, the Saturday gathering was striking for a number of factors. No speakers or aides were there, and while photographers captured some excellent images of the two leaders engaged in lively conversation, reporters did not get excited about asking questions in an effort to demonstrate Donald Trump’s evil deed.

The Trump-Zelensky confab’s private nature is what makes it so extraordinary. Just four years ago, a senator was in charge of making the most pointless goes without a cheat sheet outlining exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Even the top aides of Old Joe Biden then admit that the dormant corruptocrat was unaware of the laws his autopen was passing into law and that his dementia had advanced. What he appeared to know about the conflict in Ukraine, and everything else, was just an idea that his ability to read words from a script with fair competence.
We have grown used to seeing president surrounded by sky of advisers yet before Old Joe’s autopen’s mismanagement, and aides arguably frequently did the real spadework in international politics and other fields. Trump, yet, is a significant departure from what has become the standard for the chief executive, as in many other ways. Without the assistance of any aides, even if they weren’t present, he is perfectly capable of negotiating with Zelensky ( and others ).
And he did it on Saturday, amid all the jubilation and splendor of the catholic death. Executive Director of White House Communications Steven Cheung after stated in a succinct manner:” President Trump and President Zelenskyy met personally nowadays and had a very effective dialogue.

Trump promptly posted two pictures of the appointment without comment early on Saturday afternoon. The leader stated on Truth Social that it was a” fine morning in conversations and discussions with Russia and Ukraine” after arriving in Rome. The president said,” Just landed in Rome,” in a post from Friday afternoon. A productive moment of discussions and encounters with Russia and Ukraine. They are close to reaching a deal, and they should presently meet to “finish it off” at pretty high levels. The majority of the important issues have been resolved. Put an end to the unrest right away. We will go wherever it takes to “help help the END to this violent and foolish war”!

Finally, on Saturday night, Trump wrote:
No matter what package I come up with regarding Russia or Ukraine, no matter how excellent it is, even if it’s the best deal always struck, The Failing New York Times may be awful about it. The Times ‘ very biased and untalented editor, Left’s Peter Baker, wrote that Ukraine should regain country, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other crazy requests, in order to put an end to the shooting that has been worst since World War II. Why doesn’t this flimsy writer assert that Obama was the one who allowed Russia to seize Crimea from Ukraine without firing a single picture? Additionally, Liddle ‘ Peter was the author of an completely swooning, but awfully written Biography about Obama. A JOKE! Has Baker previously criticized the Obama Crimea Giveaway? Never, not again, only TRUMP, and I have nothing to do with this stupid war other than when Obama gave Ukraine sheets and I gave them Javelins. No my war, but that of Sleepy Joe Biden. It was a loser right away, and it ought to have not occurred or wouldn’t have if I were president at the time. What a disaster it is, and how disaster muck it is, is just what I’m trying to clean up. With that being said, there was no justification for Putin to launch missiles at civil targets, cities, and towns over the past few weeks. It makes me believe that maybe he doesn’t want to end the war, that he is simply trying to trick me and needs to be handled differently through” Banking” or” Secondary Sanctions”? Too many people are passing away! !
