White House Loads Anti-Trump Bias
White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt talks about Oval Office Fallout, Elon Musk and Doge’s efforts, the changes to the White House in the press bath and more about ‘Mediabuzz’.
Most media blame Donald Trump for the shocking screaming competition that led him to kick Volodymyr Zenskyy from the White House.
The result, these journalists and commentators say, is to place America’s relationship with Ukraine on living support while his people continue to fight and die in an invasion that is launched by Russia, even while Trump continues to praise his good relationship with Vladimir Putin. It is the Kremlin leader who is the dictator, not Zenskyy, and it is Russia, not Ukraine, who started the war to restore his smaller neighbor in the Soviet -satellite status -as Trump knows well.
There is no doubt that Trump, produced by JD Vance, lost his patience in the Oval Office and who derailed the meeting and left the lunch that was prepared for their teams to be eaten by staff.
But Trump also makes a reasonable point that he cannot close a deal with Russia if he constantly attacks his leader (something he is clearly not inclined, given their history, including, including The Helsinki -Top).

At the same time, Zenskyy was justified to ask for security guarantees, Say Putin Has a history of violating agreements, from the invasion of Crimea 2014 to the Brutal War – including the intentional targeting of citizens – that he launched three years ago.
But Zenskyy had one job: to manage the meeting with Trump and sign the expected rare mineral agreement. And he completely failed. He took the bait. And although he may have received some sympathy – Great -Britain and France embraced him and promised to send peacemakes after a scheme – the Ukrainian leader may have irreparably damaged his relationship with Trump.

The president was bone by saying that Zenskyyy does not have “the cards” to play without our help – but he is right.
I did a long “Media Buzz” interview with Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s press secretary, who led with the fireworks of the White House. She is very competent in reducing.
Donald Trump deciphering: How his rhetoric sends different messages
She told me that Zenskyy was “antagonistic and to be honest, he was rude. He chose a fight with the vice president of the United States.” (It was quite the other way around.) “He repeatedly interrupted President Trump.” (That’s true.)
“President Zenskyy would not even agree to a cease -fires. If you want a war to end. How can you not agree to stop fighting? You have the biggest deterrent in the Oval Office in President Trump, and you have to trust his ability to deter Russia’s aggression.”

Well, Zenskyy does not trust Trump because he believes that a cease -fire would retain the territorial profit of Russia of the invasion. But what choice does he have?
The thing that struck me the most is that I cannot imagine that this collapse would have happened if the meeting was held behind closed doors – the usual location for completing agreements. As much as I do Support journalistic accessThese are 40 minutes of press questions that have framed the dialogue.
So I asked Leavitt why, although Trump ended things by saying it “great television”, he did the meeting in public.
“Because President Trump is the most transparent president in history,” she replied. “And as he said, it was great for the cameras to be there because the American people and the world were able to see what the president and his team saw behind the scenes to negotiate with President Zenskyy’s team.”
Will Zenskyy come back to the White House when he, as Trump said, is ready to make peace? Who knows at the moment on God’s sake? But it’s a huge setback.
David Sanger, the experienced diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times, has the most penetrating Big-Picture Take.
What The president wants “Is a standardization of the relationship with Russia. If that means that the history of the illegal invasion of Moscow is rewritten three years ago, dropping the investigation into Russian war crimes or refuses to offer Ukraine long -term security guarantees, then Mr. Trump is prepared to make that deal in this assessment.”
Sanger suggests that Trump, a constant critic of NATO, runs away from the Atlantic Alliance who has thrown for 80 years.
The president “makes no secret of his opinion that the system, founded by Washington, left American Power after the Second World War.”
For Trump, “Such a system gave smaller and less powerful countries leverage across the United States, so that Americans pick up far too much from the tab for defending allies and promoting their prosperity.
“While his predecessors – both Democrats and Republicans – were insisting that alliances in Europe and Asia were the greatest strengths of America, kept peace and allowed to flourish trade, Mr Trump considered them a bleeding wound.”

Look, Trump ran like the first candidate of America to keep us out of wars. Many Americans, especially Republicans, have lost patience with us Help to Ukraine When the money could be spent at home. The help, I should add, is by no means close to the $ 350 billion that Trump continues to claim, but it has been considerable.
The rare minerals act at least the United States given an economic incentive to continue to support Ukraine and to partially repay our country for his generosity.
But in my opinion there is a much stronger argument for supporting Ukraine. If Putin manages to eliminate part of the country, he will be rewarded for launching the illegal invasion and the barbaric practice of bombing apartments and train stations.

And does anyone seriously believe that he would stop there? Is it not very likely that Putin would attack another neighbor?
The approach of Trump, which brings ourselves in line with Russia at the expense of Europe, is perhaps popular. But if he is at that plan, the shouting in the White House can be remembered as a turning point for the Old World Order.
Footnote: Yesterday, Zenskyy said something monumental stupid that justified Trump’s attitude that he is not ready to reach a settlement with Russia. Zenskyy predicted that the end of the war was “still very, very far away,” reports the AP.
The president quickly went to the truth social: “This is the worst explanation that Zenskyy could have made, and America will not tolerate it much longer! … What do they think?” And Trump later said to reporters: “Now someone may not want to close a deal, and if someone does not want to close a deal, I think that person will not be long.”
What do they think? I have no idea. This is clearly self -destructive.
