> Zelensky started making demands Yes, entirely reasonable and necessary ones (a security guarantee). He only did it in public because Trump had just publicly made false statements that were intended to undercut those. That's what a strong leader does: stands up for his nation when necessary. > he should be thanking the US for the billions of dollars we already poured into his country. Zelensky has been thanking the US continuously all along. There's no shortage of expressions of gratitude here. What got Trump angry was that Zelensky wasn't grovelling to Trump personally. That has nothing to do with the US and everything to do with Trump's weakness and lack of character. Trump is not the US. > you've accused Trump of wanting to get rid of elections for years. I have done no such thing. > They wouldn't bite the hand that feeds them. Zelensky did no such thing, but I could absolutely see Trump doing so.
