Trump’s ambush of Zelensky killed #diplomacy

Instead of analyzing its political impact, let’s focus on details of #manners, gestures. It may seem less important, but reveal more about underlying basic stance

The #behavior of 2 #arrogant, self-assured US politicians treating the leader of #Ukraine in extremely #disrespectful, #brutal manner. The only country whose representatives using such brutal language is #Russia

The Kyiv Independent · Trump’s Oval Office clash with Zelensky killed diplomacyBy Slavoj Žižek

If some Americans are annoyed at the elected President of Ukraine not wearing a suit in the Oval Office, then why aren't you mad as hell that an unelected foreign born billionare stood in the Oval Office with a base ball cap on and brought his four year old to a press conference?

PS you do know that #Churchill wore a boiler suit to the White House when he was invited during WWII. Was he being #disrespectful as well???

…Other #veterans & bereaved families viewed #Trump’s visit as #disrespectful to a sacred space that also belongs to them & to the nation. #Section60 is a place where young widows can be seem trimming grass w/hand scissors, sharing comfort w/other #GoldStarFamilies, & decorating graves w/flowers & beads. Visitors have long taken graveside photographs there, & sitting presidents have visited before, but not as part of #campaign events.

Continued thread

A #ArlingtonNationalCemetery employee tried to enforce the rules as provided to her by blocking #Trump’s team from bringing cameras to the graves of US #ServiceMembers killed in recent years, acc/to a senior #Defense ofcl & another person briefed on the incident. A larger male campaign aide insisted the camera was allowed & pushed past the #cemetery employee, leaving her shocked.

[that the employee was a #woman is probably 1 reason Trump et al were such #disrespectful dicks]
