What would you expect Zelensky to say? He's not a dummy. He and absolutely everybody else in the world knows exactly how you do diplomacy with Trump. You tell him his the "best" and "greatest" world leader ever and he'll roll over and let you pet his belly.It would appear to directly contradict a report I saw, in which Zelensky reported an 'excellent' phone call with Trump.
Either one or both reports is/are false, or Trump is shaping the deal.
Of course he's going to say it was "excellent".
If Zelensky really wanted to get his way, he'd divert some money to buy a massive number of DJT stock. It both, indirectly, makes Trump richer (he'll love that) while at the same time giving you leverage to hurt him by threatening to sell it all off and tank the stock.
If I happened to be in charge of the sovereign wealth fund of a rich petro-state, that would 100% be what I'd be doing...
