From a Vox article titled "Why Ukraine thinks it can still win over Donald Trump":
But Trump has also expressed some grudging admiration for Zelenskyy, a fellow TV star-turned-politician who has demonstrated he knows how to close a deal. “I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history — every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion,” Trump said at a rally in September.
That's not admiration Vox, that's a criticism him suckering the US out of billions of dollars.
Nah, I fully believe that some Western “journalists” are just that braindead.
