OK, as if I couldn't have less respect for this Lex dude, this take is absolutely unhinged.

Yup, lex is an influencer. Outtakes from his interview with Zelensky shows his naive way of thinking about the world.

Lex Fridman was already a loser in his "interviews" were he showed he had no understanding of what he's talking about, and now he's just sucking up to the regime in order to increase his audience, pathetic

Bullshit: If anything Zelenskyy has been swallowing Trump's active disrespect for years, bearing it with smile on his face and compliments on his lips in order to advocate for his beleaguered country.

Among other things, Trump has:

1. Deliberately held back legally-required support in order to extort Zelenskyy for favors in his first term.

2. Accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia, which is utterly insane.

3. Disparaged Zelenskyy as "dictator" while simultaneously refusing to ever say anything remotely the same about dictator Vladimir Putin.

4. Earlier tried to slip Zelenskyy a time-limited lowball deal of "50% of all your mineral rights in exchange for basically nothing".

5. Illegally halted funds going to civilian relief groups operating in Ukraine.

Even a schoolchild should know that someone who constantly disrespects others does not deserve respect.
