Budanov on Snake Island
@ScottLucas
Visits #SnakeIsland one year, guest at Trump's Oval Office the next.
#Zelensky is a great President.
Donald not so much.
Currently 2 famous fake videos.
Trump wants you focussing on the #GazaFantasy.
You're probably more adaptable after enjoying the #ToeSucking one.
Two of the ways of looking at Zelensky's visit to the Oval Office:

2. Trump and Vance's treachery, attemped bullying and bullshit.
And you're probably fitter to respond creatively and live out some of your power if you focus on the courage and skill of Zelensky.
