The Zelensky Debacle: Why Character Matters
Last night President Trump made his triumphant return to speak to a joint session of Congress. The speech was combative, visionary, moving, and the longest ever by a sitting president (one hour and forty minutes).
After the dust-up in the Oval Office four days before with the president of Ukraine, President Trump told the nation he “appreciated” a letter he’d received from President Zelensky indicating he was ready to work under Trump’s “strong leadership” to achieve a lasting peace.
That’s a good first step. Zelensky’s behavior last week was “absolute idiocy” to quote a Ukrainian MP.

Here’s what I learned from Martin Luther (Again).
