Sympathy for Zelensky

President Zelensky of the Ukraine is the unfortunate fellow who has become a bit player in the Reality TV Impeachment Trial/Drama/Fiasco of President Trump. Feel for this guy. He rises from TV comedian to President in an unlikely victory, in a troubled democracy trying to free itself from the malign influence of Darth Putin. Then unbeknownst to him, he is the sucker in the fevered imagination of the alt-right trolls pulling the strings of the Trumpocracy. He has a difficult job to do in highly fraught circumstances, and now he’s all over the world news for all the wrong reasons. I feel for him.
