There’s a meme that I think must be famous at this point when it comes to President Donald Trump. 

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Elon Musk posted a version of it earlier this week.

We’re at the “here” part of the diagram, where it comes back around to Trump. 

There was a blow-up in the White House last week when Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to try to renegotiate things in front of the public at what was supposed to be a signing of a mineral deal. That created a firestorm, and the left naturally blamed Trump and Vice President JD Vance. 

Trump wasn’t having any of that, and after strong words, Zelensky appeared to at least come back to reality a little bit, announcing he wanted peace and putting out some conciliatory words, saying he wanted to sign the mineral deal. I think after he realized that Trump wasn’t going to be played and his other option was having to rely solely on the EU, he came to his senses, at least a bit.
