The Trump/Zelenskyy Oval Office faceoff is the latest twist in a conflict Americans have multilayered views on

Last week, millions of Americans — and people globally — were shocked by an argument that occurred in a meeting between Donald Trump, JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (and others).

There is a straightforward case one could make for why the altercation could be a political liability for Trump. A solid majority of Americans sympathize with Ukraine in the war. For instance, in a recent Economist/YouGov survey, 58% of Americans say that in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, they sympathize more with Ukraine.

Just 3% say they sympathize more with Russia, while 27% say they sympathize more with “neither.” Twelve percent are not sure.

This includes 47% of Republicans who sympathize more with Ukraine.

1. I'm somewhat saddened by the survey

100% of AMERICANS should sympathize with UKRAINE. If we are all about freedom and the Fourth of July and chest thumping about our constitutional liberties why in the hell can any of us sympathize with Russia? Heartbreaking.
