QUENTIN LETTS: The encounter was electric with jeopardy… It was worse than watching a chess match when the pieces are live grenades

Zelensky survived. Ukrainian President’s oval office rematch passed without a diplomatic event. The trap door under the seat was not activated. He was not served toxic tea.

This time there was no muscular muscle by Vice President Vance. Carefully grateful to a Mr. Zelensky – ‘thanks’ must have said 20 times more – even the press corps Trumpian Emmek, who had previously attacked him, was even complimented to his black jacket. The reporter attracted ‘you look amazing,’. Mr. Zelensky joke that the journalist himself was wearing the same dangerous suits for the last time. This laughed from Donald Trump.

The same environment: The two principals have been sitting by a piece of chimney that has been given serious bling treatment since the day of Joe Biden’s day. A work in gilding. Underneath, three assistants from both sides sat on two sofas. A series of reporters stopped, shouted questions.

Mr. Trump loves when he does. The air is filled with the emergency Squawks, all of them targeted. He allows him to continue until he chooses one of the Hack and confronts with pleasure. Pure, egomaniacal theater.

Both men wiggled. Zelensky could be a man who fought with indigestion. Trump shook his head side by side, weighing the options, he controlled his demons, or perhaps bored.

The encounter was electric with geopardy. A false explanation, a poorly tried gesture and touching old Bruin can be triggered. Makeup is a Ming vase that is handled only by the portrait of Sotheby’s porters with green fermented gloves. A clever trip and – Smash – Third World War can explode. It was worse than watching a chess match when the pieces had live grenades.

Meanwhile, in a nearby room, he sat for European leaders, including Sir Keir Starmer. “ Seven great leaders of the seven great countries, ” Trump said with a flat face. Volodymyr’s Posse. Anxiety levels must be hell. While sitting there, squeezing his hands, waiting in a terrible uncertainty, was he pushed the ally Zelensky to the ground and was given another kick by Bully-Boy Vance et al.

The presence of Europeans has already lasted an extraordinary day. Here NATO and Western Europe, 79 -year -old Mercurial joined a narcissice. The future of the West was shaking. The United States no longer counted a stable bet. Was Uncle Sam really joined the axis of evil? Why was Mr. Trump suddenly sounded like a mouthpiece of Moscow?

‘Mr. Zelensky was allowed to join the action of European leaders after getting rid of the first ordeal of the lion.’ Picture: French President Emmanuel Macron and Sir Keir Starmer speaks during the meeting at the White House

In the oval office, Mr. Trump did not seem too complicated about gravity. Washington began to talk about the fact that the streets of DC made it safe enough to allow rich couples to go to dinner. A killer in the Kremlin shrinks an entire continent. Even a long rent has been passed on the threat of mail voting and democracy. Irony-Meters danced wildly.

Mr. Zelensky was allowed to join the action of European leaders after getting rid of the first ordeal of the lion. Everyone took part in a large, highly polished table on television. Mr. Trump chaired this meeting and contributed from Europeans. They took it in order to praise him for his diplomatic brightness, the distant -minded political genius, Munificance, humanity. It was a lie on a large scale. Certainly, only one person swallowed all this guf. But the important thing was the man.

NATO’s Mark Rutte was such an eager limb bundle, officer responsible for Treacle. French President Emmanuel Macron had removed himself from the surfing board. Finland President Alexander Stubb came forward. You understand golf with Mr. Trump. Golf Buddy Stubb, “ This European and United States Team is helping Ukraine, ” he said. Pre! The balls are in the air!

Meanwhile, don’t tell the White House dress code monitors, but a man who accompanied the EU’s Ursula von Der Leyen was wearing blue trainers.
