Trump Repeats Putin Talking Points as Zelenskyy Stands By - George Will



When Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago, the world witnessed a startling diplomatic moment. Trump praised Vladimir Putin's "generosity" toward Ukraine, adopted Moscow's rationale against a ceasefire, and urged territorial concessions—all while standing beside the leader of a nation under relentless Russian assault.

This video unpacks the press conference, the coordination between Trump and Putin, the Kremlin's readout confirming their alignment, and the stark contrast with allies providing billions in aid. We examine the policy implications, the historical echoes of Helsinki, and what this signals about American foreign policy orientation. If diplomacy reveals priorities, yesterday's meeting at Mar-a-Lago made them unmistakably clear. - 12/31/2025.

to get the news correct. I find it mildly amusing that they are using George Will's likeness. I wonder if that is always the case on their videos.

Obviously, I ignored them. I only left this one standing since I listened and "he" described what we all saw when President Zelenskyy met with the felon-in-chief.

That was also George Will but his lips weren't moving with the words being spoken. Also, his voice is too even and there are repeated mannerisms that are not normal like when he inhales and a couple small movements that aren't natural.
