I wasn’t fully convinced before that Putin has Trump in his pocket, but after that stunt, I am convinced that he is under Putin’s thumb. Trump and co. could have had marching orders from Putin to do exactly that. Also, this is something that Putin have done and would do, publicly humiliating someone on live TV.

    They didn’t have to televise that part specifically, and Trump actually made a mention of ‘why he’s let this go on so long’. Trump thinks he knows how to make reality television xD.

    This was all done to force Zelensky’s capitulation to Trump’s will, that’s it. When that didn’t work, he turned on the cameras and tried to make Zelensky look bad. Abyssmal failure, as are most of Trump’s ideas.
