"He spouted off about "corruption in the Ukraine," and how it was incumbent upon Zelensky to crack down on it, especially that phantom corruption involving the Bidens, whom he also accused, with no evidence whatsoever, of having been paid off by China. He went raving on about Hillary Clinton's "30,000 missing e-mails." He blamed Barack Obama for the annexation of Crimea by Russia. God alone knows what Zelensky thought of all of this. He is a former stand-up comedian, so maybe he thought he was sitting through some weird Andy Kaufman-esque bit. But the piece de la demence came toward the end, when the president* told Zelensky:
I really hope that you and President Putin can get together and solve your problem.
The look on Zelensky's face was priceless."

(7,275 posts)11. I think Zelensky tuned out when
Trump, responding to the topic of Crimea, basically shrugged his shoulders and said eh, its in the past.
I felt Zelensky harden up, right then.
