Poor President Zelensky. He is asking for a meeting but he will never get a fair hearing.
I suppose the American was released as a thank you for the fuel deal.
released to help Trump with the mid-terms?
An easy way to try & influence USA voters. No wonder Russia invested in trying to get Trump elected, he must have surpassed their highest hopes.
I maintain that Trump is entirely shaped by his upbringing. It's widely understood that his father instilled his own brand of toughness on Donald and his siblings who were encouraged to be "killers" or "kings" in business and, allegedly, viewed traits like empathy, kindness or apologising, as weaknesses. The older brother I read sometime ago wanted to become an airline pilot, apparently, rather than enter the family property business, and was ridiculed for his 'weakness'.
I don't want to indulge in psycho-babble, however - maybe that's where Donald Trump learned to gain approval - by emulating his father's scorn and contempt for anything and anybody that didn't fit into the all-encompassing need to 'win' at all costs. It could explain his seemingly extremely fragile ego and the need for constant admiration and approval?
In which case, his unsuitability to be one of the most powerful men in the world, is really down to his inner circle of backers and supporters who must, surely, be aware of his almost pathological 'disposition'?
These are just my random thoughts, and purely subjective.
. Have we ever had a time before when the POTUS is on the news every day? And never for anything good.
