Trump: I don't go around calling people names. I don't go around mocking people.

BREAKING: BRAVO! Volodymyr Zelenskyy is directly asked if he thinks that Trump is using him as a "scapegoat" for his failed presidency — and the Ukrainian President's response is PERFECT. This man is truly a gift to his people... "It's a pretty difficult midterm elections. His personal popularity is very low, diesel prices in the U.S. are very high, and the war that he started in the Middle East is not going the way he wants it. Do you think you are being treated as a scapegoat for his own problems?" a reporter asked Zelenskyy at a European Council summit in Brussels. Take a moment to consider how you would respond were you in Zelenskyy's shoes. Trump has been relentlessly smearing you. He just cut a "deal" with Putin to flood the global markets with Russian diesel, pumping money into a war machine that is slaughtering innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children. Then, the Starlink service that you use to prevent Russian drones from striking civilian targets inside your country has its service interrupted, seemingly by the White House. Although he must have been raging inside, Zelenskyy listened carefully to the reporter's question. He then paused for over ten seconds, letting his silence stretch and fill with dramatic meaning. He then cracked a knowing smirk and the room erupted into laughter. He paused, leaned forward, still smiling and said: "This is my answer." "Thank you so much," the reporter said as the room continued to laugh. This is the perfect way to thread the needle. Zelenskyy managed to agree with the assessment that Trump is scapegoating him for his problems without having to say it out loud. He's not afraid to embarrass this disgrace of a President, but at the same time his ultimate responsibility is to the wellbeing of the Ukrainian people. He doesn't want to alienate Trump so badly that there's no hope for a reconciliation and a full resumption of American military support. This is how it's done. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Zelenskyy is a hero!
