1. If I invite someone into my home, I try to be a gracious, welcoming host. It is not for the purpose of ganging up on him, berating him, and insisting that he kiss my ass.
2. Zelensky held up pretty well. My favorite was his response to being chastised for not wearing a suit, "I will wear a costume when the war is over,".
3. It appeared that Trump was carrying someone else's water.
Forgive me if I can't help but think that had Trump done exactly what you said and was nothing but a gracious, welcoming host, and had that reporter who asked Zelensky about wearing a suit been a liberal democrat reporter, then your three points would have been:
1. Why was Trump so nice to him? There's a bloody war going on and Zelensky apparently doesn't want to negotiate for peace. Trump and Vance have to ambush him and really twist his arm, but instead they play the gracious, welcoming host like it's a dinner party or something. For God's sake, people are dying.
2. Zelensky was a smart ass to the reporter who asked him about not wearing a suit. That reporter should get a raise. Since Trump obviously isn't serious about ending this war, then Zelensky needs to be. "Costume"? He needs to quit wearing that Winston Churchill costume and be a real leader.
3. Why isn't Trump carrying the water of the European countries? They've got so much more at stake than we do.
We get it. Trump and conservatives need to be wrong at all times and all costs.
