Donald Trump’s ‘moderately successful comedian’ rant at Volodymyr Zelenskyy prompted no end of comment but none funnier than Paul Sinha

Every time we think it’s impossible to underestimate Donald Trump, he goes and limbos under the lowest of bars and we have to reset our expectations all over again.

And his Truth Social – where else? – rant at Volodymyr Zelenskyy which went straight to the top of the news agenda all over the world, is by some distance a whole new low.

Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..

And it prompted no end of comment, condemnation and sheer disbelief.

But perhaps our favourite response – not the most serious, obviously – went to the estimable Paul Sinha.

Boom.
