one thing I've learned from tournament poker —
A bad play on one hand is texture and sometimes becomes the exact reason you win a later hand.

This is risky business so I hope if Trump is using this as some negotiating tactic, that he plays wisely. Personally, this looks bad for both leaders but Zelensky has more to lose if he doesn't Trump's support.

Yes, President Zelensky probably has to play a better hand of poker than President Trump.
Some mistakes that were made:
- No one tried to tone things down. Both sides were argumentative.
- This meeting and the disagreements taking place in public and live tv. Our enemies would love that.
- Criticizing each other in public (although I saw more of that coming from VP JD Vance surprisingly).

this is a transcript “edited for length”
President Trump and his senior leaders planned to ambush President Zelenskyy, with Vice-President Vance rather serving in the role as "attack dog." And I really don't like it when someone conjures up anger to impress someone else.
All things considered, I think President Zelenskyy handled himself well.
