ZELENSKY BURSTED TRUMP’S CZAR-LIKE IMAGE

When someone wins by a landslide, when global leaders queue up like obedient subjects, and when American politicians—Democrats included—zip their lips in fear, a narcissist doesn’t just get a confidence boost. He inflates into a self-declared messiah, a czar of the world, ruling by whim and Twitter decree.

That’s Trump. A dictator in designer suits, making impulsive decisions based on whatever bizarre thought flits through his mind—no logic, no expert input, just pure, unfiltered Trumpism. Since his first day in office, his daily ramblings—with the expectation of blind acceptance—have sent shockwaves through global politics and economics.

Rather than calling out his absurdities, world leaders treat his irrational outbursts for negotiations and concessions.

But then came February 28. Under the glare of the world’s cameras, the script flipped.

Enter Volodymyr Zelensky, clad in a combat olive outfit, standing toe-to-toe with Trump and his eager sidekick, Vice President Vance.

No pleasantries, no bowing. Just direct, fearless confrontation.

Zelensky played his cards like a leader who knows his worth. He refused to entertain Trump’s so-called “peace plan,” which, in reality, was a thinly veiled scheme to grab Ukraine’s mineral wealth.

Trump may run his business empire on corruption and coercion, but the world is not his real estate portfolio. Global leaders don’t need his blessings, and American politicians—regardless of party—must finally break their silence against his reckless fantasies.
