JD Vance's bombast tells us where MAGA is going

Salon  

After I watched Donald Trump and JD Vance try to pressure Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into surrendering to Putin I felt sick. Only a bully kicks a man then makes him say thank you Friday’s meeting was arranged to discuss Trump’s demand for Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, ostensible “payback” for US military support. When Zelenskyy mentioned Russia’s aggression going back to 2014, Vance pistol whipped him with, “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media…You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.” Related Only Putin is still smiling after Trump and Zelenskyy squabble As Zelenskyy tried to respond, Vance, incredibly, asked, “Do you think that is respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” then demanded, “Have you said thank you once?” The only thing missing from the scene was a box of fingers. You’re in no position to dictate that.” Trump later demanded that Zelenskyy “accept” that Kyiv “had a weak negotiating hand.” The entire world can see that the main reason Kyiv now has a weak negotiating hand is because of Trump’s dangerous loyalty to Putin.
