By listening to those who flatter his ego but are only interested in ‘resisting’ Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hurt his cause.

You know you’re in trouble if you’re the head of a foreign country that wants massive American military aid and intervention on your behalf and you lose Sen. Lindsey Graham. R-S.C.
But that’s what happened to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week as a result of his meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. He had a choice between securing American support and continued aid for his country’s war with Russia and listening to the advice of Trump-hating Democrats and Europeans who wanted him to grandstand at the administration’s expense.
