Trump, Vance & Ukraine: Who’s Getting Sold Out First?

Trump and Zelensky just had the diplomatic equivalent of a cage match, and the fallout is as messy as expected. With Trump’s America First 2.0 doctrine looming, NATO sweating bullets, and Ukraine caught in the middle, the big question is: Does the U.S. still give a damn about European security?

Max Bennett and Lisa Vega rip into the tense Trump-Zelensky showdown, John Bolton’s alarm bells about Trump’s Putin-friendly tendencies, and Bill Maher’s satirical take on the whole thing as a "Real Housewives" drama, but with nukes. Is Trump pressuring Ukraine into a bad deal? Is NATO in for a cold shower? And what does J.D. Vance’s rise mean for U.S. foreign policy? No filters, no diplomatic BS—just raw analysis, dark humor, and brutal reality checks.
