Many
of you probably watched what took place between Donald Trump and
Zelensky on Friday February 28, 2025, a meeting intended to cement a U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal.
The total meeting time was about 45 minutes. In case you missed it,
here's a short clip... https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=9A3-8_PCYxo Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you might be thinking to yourself, Oh my God, Donald Trump just screwed up.
The
fake media and the Democrats will claim Trump disrespected and
humiliated "a hero." The propaganda has already started, so let me
explain the difference between what you believe you witnessed and what
actually happened.
Donald
Trump has been under constant political persecution since the beginning
of his first term. Over time, he has learned to be patient and
calculated.
Zelensky
thought he could make the same money laundering deal he had with Biden.
Tonight, Zelensky was invited to the Oval Office. However, both Trump
and JD Vance knew exactly what Zelensky was going to do—he would use
this opportunity, in front of the American people, to make a power play.
Both Trump and Vance anticipated this.
When
Zelensky began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD
Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was
brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelensky is
trying to gain access to NATO.
Trump
knew this but could not allow it to happen. If Ukraine joins NATO, the
U.S. would be bound by NATO’s collective defense agreement—an attack on
one is an attack on all.
Now
consider the larger implications: Ukraine and Russia despise each
other. If Ukraine were to become a NATO member, any future skirmish
between them would obligate the U.S. to enter into direct conflict with
Russia. This would mean World War III. And if that happened, China would
have to choose a side—they would almost certainly align with Russia.
So
what you witnessed tonight was a setup. Trump and JD Vance knew that
the only way to achieve peace was to strategically align, at least on
the surface, with Russia. Why? Because Russia would never sign a peace
treaty if Ukraine were admitted into NATO.
This
is why Trump dismantled Zelinsky’s argument. And when Zelensky, seeing
his play failing, tried to backtrack and offer a treaty, Trump refused.
Zelensky’s
real intent was clear—he would not agree to peace unless security
guarantees were in place. But what was he actually saying? That NATO
must accept Ukraine. However, Russia would never agree to peace, knowing
that NATO, their historical adversary, would surround them.
Zelensky,
Putin, and Trump all knew this. Zelensky, thinking he had Democratic
support, believed he could make this bold move on live television. But
Trump and Vance saw right through it and outmaneuvered him.
They
knew that, in the short term, Democrats and the media would try to use
this moment against them. But they also knew they had two years before
midterms to prove their strategy was the right one. So they held their
ground—brilliantly so.
Now,
Zelensky will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump's terms.
But here’s the genius part—Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without
dragging the U.S. into war.
By
negotiating a mineral deal, Trump ensures that Americans will be
involved in Ukraine’s mining industry. This prevents Russia from
launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering
American lives—something that would force the U.S. to respond. Zelensky
left the White House without signing the mineral deal. He'll be back,
hat in hand.
Trump
played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelensky will
have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine
cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U.S. companies have
mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without
triggering massive international consequences.
Don’t underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he’s 10 moves ahead of everyone.
Post Script
Other World Leaders Know The Score
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban releases a statement after President Trump’s meeting with Zelensky.
“Strong
men make peace, weak men make war. Today President Trump stood bravely
for peace. Even if it was difficult for many to digest. Thank you, Mr.
President!”
Some in the USA are more loyal to Ukraine’s Zelensky than to America and our President. One pundit is quoted as saying, "We need to defeat Trumpism." Not smart at all. Don't drank the liberal
kool-aid. For you people too young to know about the Jonestown Massacre it means "Drinking the Kool-Aid" is strongly believing in and accepting a
deadly, deranged, or foolish ideology or concept based only upon the
overpowering coaxing of the fake media.
