    Narrator: he didn’t.

    Trump managed to find a way to make me even more embarrassed for our country and angry at his douchebagness.

    Zelenskyy has the strength Private Bonespurs will never possess.

      I saw that Pz Zelenskyy also thanked America for hosting him, as if he’d been calmly met by a proper head of state.

      It takes a special kind of statesman to be blindsided by two half-wit kids and harangued on TV and then treat it as if it was business as usual.

      Remember that Pz Zelenskyy is not your typical politician: he’s a comedian who won the seat. How is it that this Everyman is more a leader and a collaborator, and those two are clowns out of the slow car?

        I’ve been watching Hacks, and one thing a good comedian learns is how to read a room and handle a heckler. Zelenskyy knew he couldn’t just shut them down because of the power dynamics, but he also knew this wasn’t going to play well for Trump with the rest of the room. He didn’t back down and yet he didn’t take the bait to give them any real excuse to pull US support. They exposed their Russian puppet-strings for the world to see.
