It looks to me like there was a lot of grade-A dumb shit said during the Trump-Zelensky meeting
Keep in mind, the purpose of the trip was to sign an agreement between both parties. All everyone had to do was smile for the cameras, and maybe negotiate some more in the background, though really all the negotiation should have been completed prior to Zelensky arriving.
Here's the bits that look really dumb to me:
Zelensky to Vance: "Have you been to Ukraine?"
Zelensky already knows Vance has not, so this is said purely to embarrass, and unfairly so given Vance wasnt an official until two months ago. Even more ridiculous, if Vance is ignorant about what is happening in Ukraine, how can the agreement be ready?
Vance to Zelensky: "You run propoganda tours". There was no way it wasn't going to be as argument at this point.
Zelensky: "You just don't feel it because you have a nice big ocean, but you'll feel it in future". This is just a straight up insulting "I know better than you, even what is going to happen to your country"
Trump to Zelensky: "You are gambling with world war three". Everyone already knows this, but Trump just gave away the US position. They will not challenge Putin because the risk is too high.
Everyone in this meeting came out looking like amateurs
