The clips of the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Trump/VP JD Vance that the media will show most likely will be of Trump and Vance delivering some reality checks to the Ukrainian president, but there's more to it:
David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense (@davereaboi) ~ Ok, I’ve now watched the opening of the Oval Office press conference. Zelinsky behaved petulantly despite Trump’s repeated attempts to be gracious at the outset. The whole thing broke down in a spectacular fashion because of Zelinsky’s inability to navigate a diplomatic situation.
That's exactly how it happened.
Earlier in the day, Zelenskyy met with members of Congress, including Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham:
Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) ~ This happened today before the Oval Office blow up. Lindsey Graham all smiles with Zelensky.

Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) ~ Really good bipartisan meeting before President Zelensky heads to the White House. We stand with Ukraine.

After Zelenskyy's show in the White House, Graham, one of his longtime congressional supporters, called on him to apologize.
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) ~ Zelenskyy has lost Senator Lindsey Graham ...

Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) ~ Senator Lindsey Graham: "I have NEVER been more proud of the President. I was very proud of JD Vance, standing up for our country... What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful..."

Maybe Zelenskyy forgot he was no longer dealing with Biden and Harris.
Trump later let Zelenskyy know what he needs to do in order to be welcomed back at the White House.
Kassy Akiva (@KassyAkiva) ~ Zelensky had the support of most of the GOP in Congress, despite what the Trump camp thought. But losing Lindsey Graham—who was his biggest cheerleader—is a sign change is coming.
