    Trump is trying to force a deal that doesn’t do shit for Ukraine but strip them of future income to rebuild

    Nope. Zelensky was the first one suggesting the deal in October last year. See here point number 4 https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/plan-peremogi-skladayetsya-z-pyati-punktiv-i-troh-tayemnih-d-93857

    The second part of his visit was to discuss guarantees behind the closed doors. Which is why he was trying to steer the discussion towards that topic. He just did it so hamfistedly that Vance and Trump took it as a personal attack. Any half assed politician especially on international arena could have avoided that. It’s all it was: failed negotiation. The fact that people see some kind of inspiration behind this failure is just pathetic misread of the situation
