On: Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting

[codr7]

Perhaps they figured there are more important priorities for a US President than looking good?

I'm truly surprised anyone decides to disagree with that statement.

It frightens me a bit that people think looks are more important than results.

But I guess it's the world we live in.

exactly, giving Putin what he wants is more important than "looking good", whatever that means.

Ukraine's only hope is that the US stays out of it now, rather than joins Russia. Europe has a losing battle on our hands now.

Do you think anything that's not reported in mainstream media, or are you simply repeating what you consume? Because it looks the same to me.

And the media isn't really there to inform you, it's there to make sure you think what they want you to think for whatever reasons.

I would suggest at least taking a look at alternative explanations, otherwise this is just as bad as any other kind of blind faith.

In addition to looking like a terrible President, Trump is also very bad at governing, especially in a crisis. Last time he was President, he inherited a great economy that he was focused on looting (giving himself and other billionaires a massive tax cut and trying to kill the Affordable Care Act to steal even more). He left office with unemployment at 15%, the country $8T further in debt, crime skyrocketing to 30 year highs, cities were literally on fire, and everyone's quality of life was horribly harmed by his terrible management of pandemic.

What was Trump good at?

Then why did people elect him again?

Listening to people who did, it sounds a lot like their lives got better the last time.

Are you saying they're lying? Or just stupid?

Can you think of another explanation for the disconnect?
