Amid speculation that President Trump and JD Vance planned an Oval Office ambush of Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump has now posted an analysis by a martial arts instructor who called it a 'setup.' Trump, who played a round of golf at his West Palm Beach course Sunday, posted a write-up by the head of an Arizona karate dojo who took on the idea that the angry White House meeting went off the rails by accident – instead calling it 'brilliant strategy.' The article acknowledged segments of public revulsion of what happened – but speculated that Trump and Vance maneuvered to outflank Zelensky during the televised smack-down, comparing the president to a 'master chess player.' '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,' wrote Michael McCune in his posting on his Facebook group page. The page links him with the dojo where he is an instructor, with the tag 'Karate-Do way of life' and the slogan 'unleash the warrior within.' Trump snipped the text below the 'setup' line, instead including an image of the bottom of his post on his Truth Social site without the full link, identifying McCune only by his name without any other identifying information. However the full post is available online. 'Now, Zelenskyy 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,' it said. The post says the rare earth minerals deal negotiated by both sides – which was completed but left unsigned after the blowup – '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.' 'Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelenskyy 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,' he concluded.
Comment: Zelensky is an idiot. All he can say is: "Putin bad, Ukraine is a victim, give me money in unlimited amounts, forever". He needs to trust Trump, who actually has a plan that Zelensky can't understand.
