Trump Zelensky meets, cold face to cold face
Really interesting.
It's almost to the point of verbal abuse——
Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump angrily stated that he will not meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky.
The reason is that Zelensky's previous words and actions not only offended Trump, but also offended almost the entire Republican Party.
However, on September 27th local time, Zelensky still saw Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan!

From the footage released on site, it can be seen that although it is not like Putin receiving German Chancellor Scholz and French President Macron at a long table, at least Trump does not want to get close to Zelensky. Even if it's not a long table, at least in the photos posted, the two seem to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers!
In his previous article, Uncle Hai mentioned that Zelensky had thrown out the so-called "victory plan" before his departure, claiming to share it with Biden, Harris, and Trump, which had already caused Trump's displeasure. As soon as he landed in the United States, he went to Biden's birthplace, and all the American companions were Democrats, which had caused great displeasure from Trump and even the entire Republican Party!
The question is, since Trump has already announced in a high-profile manner that he will not meet with Zelensky, why did he meet with him at Trump Tower. Is this a reversal of words?
one
From the process of Trump's meeting with Zelensky, it can be seen that Trump somewhat dislikes Zelensky, and this fundamental has not changed. But when two people meet, even if their faces are cold, they still have to see each other. This is undoubtedly taking what everyone needs.
As for Trump, he certainly understands that this is a crucial moment in the US presidential election. Zelensky landed in the United States, met President Biden, and then met Harris. So, as Harris' opponent, Trump must also consider whether he can garner more votes from his competitors in order to ultimately win.
If Zelensky is not seen solely out of personal 'righteous indignation', will it not be worth the loss?
We must shake hands before meeting, and the etiquette should not be lacking
For Zelensky, it is necessary to explain to the domestic authorities. Since I have met Biden and Harris, if I don't see Trump, some people in Ukraine, including the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), will also ask back questions——
Are you really sure that Ukraine's resistance to Russia's "invasion" will receive unanimous support from the US political arena?
Many people are concerned that if Trump wins the election, it will force Ukraine to do things it is unwilling to do, such as making significant concessions to Russia or even actively damaging its sovereignty.
And whenever Zelensky sees Trump, he can create a public opinion atmosphere in Ukraine, that is——
Both the donkey elephant and the two parties in the US election actually attach great importance to Zelensky, which means they attach great importance to Ukraine's resistance against Russia.
Here, it must also be said that after Zelensky's theoretical term had expired, Ukraine did not hold a presidential election. As a result, Russian President Putin has long declared that Zelensky is now an illegal president.
Of course, by attending the United Nations General Assembly meeting this time, Zelensky has largely proven to the world that he is the legitimate and internationally recognized President of Ukraine.
If the President of the United States, as well as Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, were to meet with him, Zelensky would be better able to proclaim his legitimacy domestically!
On September 25th local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky delivered a speech at the 79th United Nations General Assembly

Meeting is meeting again. In fact, Trump and Zelensky still dislike each other.
Let's see how the two of them will talk after meeting!
Trump said to the reporters present without hesitation:
"We have a good relationship. As you know, I have a good relationship with President Putin. I think if I win, we will soon solve the Russia-Ukraine conflict..."
In front of Zelensky, he said he had a good relationship with Putin. So, what about Zelensky?
Zelensky could only interject:
I hope our relationship is better
However, Trump now has a bit of a fatherly vibe. He taught Zelensky a lesson:
We have a good relationship, as you all know, and I also have a good relationship with President Putin. I believe that if I win, we will quickly resolve this (war) issue
Uncle Hai's personal feeling:
The entire meeting between Trump and Zelensky was undoubtedly led by Trump!
After Zelensky landed in the United States, his first stop was the artillery factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania
For example, the two of them were interviewed by Fox News, not by CNN or other media outlets in the United States. The reason, of course, is that Trump believes that Fox reports "real news" while some other American media reports "fake news".
Zelensky had to compromise.
Trump talked to the camera. For example, if he was president, the Russia-Ukraine conflict would never break out;
Of course, during the interview, it is inevitable to talk about Zelensky's visit to Biden's birthplace, the ammunition factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This certainly made Trump very dissatisfied. Trump emphasized that once elected, he would soon end the war.
From the relevant reports and videos, it can be seen that Trump rarely looks at Zelensky around him and only talks about himself.

Did Zelensky think of such an awkward and suffocating scene before he left?
Who is Trump?
Is revenge inevitable?
Zelensky should understand.
Moreover, Trump Tower is not the White House.
That is to say, when Trump has not yet won the election and may not be able to return to the White House, Zelensky's reluctantly meeting with him can further illustrate the problem.
The direction of the Russia-Ukraine conflict depends in many ways on changes in the political situation of the United States.
Assuming that Trump returns to the White House, what will happen to Zelensky's life and fortune? Perhaps in Zelensky's mind today, this is more important than Ukraine as a country!
Otherwise, it's hard to imagine why he is almost lowly yet still wants to meet with Trump.
This year, we can see who will win the battle between donkeys and elephants.
But it is not certain to see who wins or loses the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
However, I still hope that the war will end soon and fewer lives will suffer.
From this perspective, it may not be too bad for Zelensky to meet more political figures in the United States
