I really wish Zelenskyy would skip meeting with

[Ilsa]

Trump in person. I don't trust or his staff not to poison or hurt Zelenskyy. For all we know, there could be an FSB agent on the payroll at Maralago. Those sneaky bastards love poisoning people.

10. Yeah apparently Trump is miffed:

Trump likely won’t meet Zelenskyy on US trip

A much-hyped meeting between former President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the Ukrainian president’s trip to the U.S. is unlikely to take place.

The Ukrainian president is expected to address the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday and present his so-called victory plan for the war with Russia, then hold bilateral meetings with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump said last week that he would “probably” meet with Zelenskyy during his U.S. visit. But a Trump campaign official confirmed to POLITICO on Tuesday that no meeting had been scheduled.

2. I imagine

He feels like he has to meet with Trump since he may be President (again)? Will he be meeting w/Harris too?

[Ilsa]

9. I heard he was meeting with Biden, Harris, and

Von Pussygrabben.

[FarPoint]

3. I trust Zelensky knows exactly what he is doing...

I think he has a plan/reason for doing this....

[hlthe2b]

4. Pretty sure he is meeting with TSF in NYC. There will be ample protection.

[Island Blue]

6. Why the fuck is he meeting

with a Presidential candidate who currently holds no office. What good could come from that?

[Self Esteem]

11. Because there's nearly a 50/50 chance that guy becomes the next president.

And it's in his own country's best interest to do what he can to win Trump over on the possible chance he does become president.

I'm sure he doesn't prefer Trump at all but even someone who isn't American can look at the polls and see the chances of Trump winning are still pretty good. And he can ill afford dismissing Trump knowing what's at stake if he wins.

7. Who says they're meeting at Maraloco?

Pres. Zelensky is leading a war against Russia. He can probably handle that stupid sack of crap.

Has the sack of crap agreed to meet? I would think he'd be too chicken shit.

[Ilsa]

12. I don't know where they are meeting.

I figured it would be where trump has squatted the most, and that the location would be kept underwraps for security purposes.

[JohnSJ]

13. trump has cancelled the meeting with him. and if you listen to his rallies, they are anti-Ukraining, slamming

Zelenskyy saying he is essentially scamming the US.

If trump regains the WH, there is no doubt that he will fully support Russia against Ukraine.

[Ilsa]

17. For real? cancelled by Trump?

I guess he figured out there was no way to do putin's bidding.

[ecstatic]

14. Yikes! I hope that our national security is involved in some way

As far as Zelenskyy, he has no choice but to go because our election process doesn't inspire a lot of confidence with our allies. There is a 50% chance that the 34 times convicted felon who attempted a coup in 2021 will once again be in the White House.

All Z can do is what every other leader does when interacting with trump--flatter and manipulate. Rinse. Repeat. We'll forgive you, Z.

15. He should wear a wire...

to help the FBI gather evidence of the attempted shake-down.

T...FP would probably try again to coerce him to provide evidence against Hunter Biden. (Or maybe Ella Emhof, if it has finally sunk in that he's running against Kamala now.)

And I presume you mean an FSB agent on the payroll besides the paymaster.

[ananda]

16. Same. Trump is a Putin asset.
