One of the core skills in managing people.

Praise in public, critique in private. Since none of you trumptards have ever been in a managerial role, obviously, that concept is alien to you, but if you think really hard you will remember all the times it was used on you.


Why Praising in Public and Criticizing in Private is Key to Giving Feedback Others Will Act On. A good rule of thumb for guidance is praise in public, criticize in private. Public criticism tends to trigger a defensive reaction and make it much harder for a person to accept they've made a mistake and to learn from it.

Could someone explain if this rudimentary approach was in evidence in yesterday’s debacle if so explain how, if not could it have smoothed out trump’s ham handed tantrum?

That attempt is missing a key component. And I know you're not bright enough to figure out what that component is.
I'll spell it out for you, since you might otherwise burst a blood vessel straining to figure it out on your own.

I pledge allegiance to the United States.

Whereas you...

Fuck you, I stood in front of a Navy Commander and swore an oath to the Constitution I served my Country in the armed forces, so put that in your lightly taxed pipe and gag on it, you simple minded dirtbag.

Peddle your fake umbrage to somebody gullible enough to buy it. Your oath means little enough to you that you'll claim to stand with another country while badmouthing the Commander-In-Chief of this one. If your oath means that little to you, I don't see any reason why it should mean shit to me.

Look at the educated brain on Reginald. Since you are familiar with that very basic rule of management, why do give individual #1 a free pass for being an asshole on live Television?
I distinctly remember saying that the Ukrainian Jew Dictator did indeed make an ass of himself on television. If the Ukrainian had stopped to think for just a moment, he might have realized that the photo op he was participating in was not the right time or place to bring up the issues he did, which is why our Vice president jumped in to scold the Ukrainian for trying to leverage the live media cameras to strengthen his bargaining position.

It was cheap, disrespectful and totally the wrong time and place to try such a game. And he probably only did it because he knows most of those media cameras are operated by people who all hate Trump.

So stop acting like everything is Trump's fault and Zelensky is some kind of heroic statesman. It makes you look foolish.

Oh no, he's always a victim and the "leftists" are his oppressors.

*sniff*
I like sparring with him. He gives a refreshing take on it which makes me look at stuff I hadn't before.

That's a good thing.

I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but I certainly understand and process what he says and thinks. and yes he whines like a little bitch and spouts slogans because he's lazy like we all are.

I respect his opinion. I rarely agree with it.

And you can stop with the "King"bullshit too. Trump is trying to end this war and stop the killing. He can't do that unless he talks to both sides. He was offering Zelensky a path to peace and security for his nation (with us getting something back for all we've given, of course), but Zelensky seemed to think that the US will continue to fund his war forever.

I don’t agree with him on about everything and his holier than thou attitude is a kick me sign in code. That’s why he is back in timeout.

I believe the VP jumped in because Elon is actually TrumpFs second hand man and had a lot of frustration to let off because he never gets mentioned

Make you a deal. You stop with the "TDS" bullshit and I'll never use it again.

It was an interesting experience watching that. Life throws odd shit at you. You're right that that could have been a more respectful meeting. On both sides. This wasn't a surprise event, it was carefully scripted.

It is one of the great moments in our lifetime and should not be ignored. If you haven't seen it yet, give it your time.

I give props to Zelensky. I also acknowledge that he blew a good opportunity to get what he wanted and secure peace at the same time.

Part of the problem was Vance's wardrobe and virtue signaling. But I think if trump keeps his head things may work out. In my opinion Trump started this mess, so I'm pleased that he's being proactive in finishing it.

But the TDS is a real thing, jack. Why would I not use such an effective piece of chum? It's so effective because those infected by the mental disorder can't help but respond to the chum. Silly jack.

It was indeed an historic moment that will be talked about for years. I watched it live on my office tv. And while I do not absolve Trump and Vance of perhaps a bit of overreaction, the onus of the debacle falls squarely on the shoulders the Ukrainian for failing to read the room, for his disrespect and slovenly appearance and his cheap attempt to play for the cameras.

Had he not done that, there would have been no reason for Trump and Vance to over react a bit.
