(#6236) I wish the US had a Zelenskyy and not a trump!

      The differences between the president of Ukraine and the president of the US is stark! 180° examples in leadership and character. With Zelenskyy Ukrainians get a man who is honorable and courageous. When the invasion of Ukraine by Russia started in February 2022, Zelenskyy was at a massive military disadvantage as over 250,000 Russian troops were at his northern border ready to attack key cities, including the Ukrainian capitol city of Kyiv. Zelenskyy for his part didn't hesitate to stand firm in his commitment to the Ukrainian people. He didn't leave with a plane full of treasure. He stood his ground and told putin there would be no Ukrainian capitulation.
     Zelenskyy was the leader whom Ukraine needed at that moment because he didn't go hide from the murderer putin, instead he organized his nation into a defensive stance and readied them for the Russian assault. His courage swept over the Ukrainian people as they also stood up in defiance to putin. Zelenskyy was no robber baron out to enrich himself while leaving his people unprotected. The opposite of what we have here in the US. We have trump who is the epitome of selfishness and lust. His character and behavior is filthy and full of allegations of horrible deeds! He is also an aggressor throwing missiles and other ordnance at his perceived enemies that are at best are just distracting questionable threats.
     That trump is similar to putin is an understatement. The parallel between the two is consistent. Both act out as tyrants with expected control despite the logic or law. Neither is a leader worthy of emulation unless one is a sinister simpleton. Where trump fails miserably as a leader Zelenskyy shines brilliantly as such. As trump tries to keep what belongs to others, Zelenskyy wants us to share what belongs to all of us. Zelenskyy is fighting for democracy while trump is wrecking ours! Zelenskyy is truly a leader and commander of Ukrainian perseverance to not only survive but thrive whereas trump attacks nations and then goes plays golf!
