He’s only been back in for about 5 weeks. Feels like 5 months already. It’s going to be a long Golden Age.If this is TRump's Golden Age starting, I just have to say I've seen better Golden Ages.
During war, abusive behaviours (including physical), becomes an expected tactic of war. Often ignoring the Geneva convention.From Yuliia Vyshnevska:
"An intriguing analysis has been circulating online regarding the psychological aspects of Zelensky’s meeting with Trump and Vance, conducted using ChatGPT.
From this analysis, it becomes evident that we have witnessed a true masterclass in gaslighting, manipulation, and coercion on the part of Trump and his entourage. Let’s break down the key points:
1. Blaming the victim for their own situation
Trump explicitly tells Zelensky: “You have allowed yourself to be in a very bad position.” This is classic abuser rhetoric—blaming the victim for their suffering. The implication is that Ukraine itself is responsible for being occupied by Russia and for the deaths of its people.
2. Pressure and coercion into ‘gratitude’
Vance demands that Zelensky say “thank you.” This is an extremely toxic tactic—forcing the victim to express gratitude for the help they desperately need, only to later accuse them of ingratitude if they attempt to assert their rights.
3. Manipulating the concept of ‘peace’
Trump claims that Zelensky is “not ready for peace.” However, what he actually means is Ukraine’s capitulation. This is a classic manipulation technique—substituting the idea of a just peace with the notion of surrender.
4. Refusing to acknowledge the reality of war
Trump repeatedly insists that Zelensky has “no cards to play” and that “without us, you have nothing.” This is yet another abusive tactic—undermining the victim’s efforts by asserting that they are powerless without the mercy of their ‘saviour.’
5. Devaluing the victims of war
“If you get a ceasefire, you must accept it so that bullets stop flying and your people stop dying,” Trump says. Yet, he ignores the fact that a ceasefire without guarantees is merely an opportunity for Russia to regroup and strike again.
6. Dominance tactics
Trump constantly interrupts Zelensky, cutting him off: “No, no, you’ve already said enough,” and “You’re not in a position to dictate to us.” This is deliberate psychological pressure designed to establish a hierarchy in which Zelensky is the subordinate.
7. Forcing capitulation under the guise of ‘diplomacy’
Vance asserts that “the path to peace lies through diplomacy.” This is a classic strategy where the aggressor is given the opportunity to continue their aggression unchallenged.
8. Projection and distortion of reality
Trump declares: “You are playing with the lives of millions of people.” Yet, in reality, it is he who is doing exactly that—shifting responsibility onto Zelensky.
9. Creating the illusion that Ukraine ‘owes’ the US
Yes, the US is assisting Ukraine, but presenting this aid as “you must obey, or you will receive nothing” is not a partnership—it is financial and military coercion.
10. Undermining Ukraine’s resistance
Trump states that “if it weren’t for our weapons, this war would have ended in two weeks.” This is an attempt to erase Ukraine’s achievements and portray its efforts as entirely dependent on US support.
Conclusion
Trump and his team employed the full spectrum of abusive tactics: gaslighting, victim-blaming, coercion into gratitude, and manipulation of the concepts of peace and diplomacy. This was not a negotiation—it was an attempt to force Zelensky into accepting terms beneficial to the US but potentially fatal for Ukraine."
The US president is the abuser telling the victim that if they hadn't been so badly behaved he wouldn't have had to beat them up. Classic domestic violence scenario.

One president arguing with another president on live TV makes the Oval Office a torture chamber? Neither one of these presidents is suffering on the front lines. They are both transactional presidents making deals that will profit themselves first. If this transactional "good for TV" sideshow furthers the end to the killing and maiming of the Ukrainian and Russian boots on the ground then it will have at least served some good purpose IMO.It's rare to invite the whole world into the torture chamber on live TV
Thank you for this :3From Yuliia Vyshnevska:
Technofascism?Trump is doing precisely what we the people elected him to do.
If you want to use a biased poll that uses leading questions and questionable methodology in order to favour this viewpoint....go for itPosters here freeze like Bambi in the headlights when confronted by the uncomfortable truth: Trump's executive orders don'[t violate the law; and they allow him to fulfill his campaign promises in a rapid and efficient manner. In other words, Trump is doing precisely what we the people elected him to do.
The deafening silence here to my posting of this telling poll evidently requires the repetition of this poll:
P
"A new poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris reveals the majority of the country backs President Donald J. Trump and his actions to bring much-needed reforms that are making America great again."
- Americans overwhelmingly support President Trump’s agenda.
- 81% support deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
- 76% support a “full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”
- 76% support closing the border with additional security and policies.
- 69% support keeping men out of women’s sports.
- 68% support government declaring there are only two genders.
- 65% support ending race-based hiring in government.
- 63% support “freezing and re-evaluating all foreign aid expenditures and the department that handled them.”
- 61% support reciprocal tariffs.
- 60% support direct U.S. negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
- 59% support cutting government spending already approved by Congress.
- 57% support ending the ban on new offshore drilling.
I know. The truth hurts.If you want to use a biased poll that uses leading questions and questionable methodology in order to favour this viewpoint....go for it

Thank you for this :3

ChatGPT is fun
Doesn't hurt me at all.I know. The truth hurts.

Trump owes Zelensky an apology.One president arguing with another president on live TV makes the Oval Office a torture chamber? Neither one of these presidents is suffering on the front lines.
