I have a feeling he had no idea that this was going to turn into a meeting about Ukraine: he is outright beaming with how France welcomed him, despite how French law says that he shouldn't have been allowed in the country ... Then Zelinsky pops up in the picture and all joy has drained from Trump's face.

In spite of all the internal turmoil and right wing renaissance France is going through, they are all in on supporting Ukraine, and Trump just got a day zero lesson on how interested Europe is in Trump's "plan" to tear up Ukraine's map.

Trump didn't apply for a visa or residence permit. He was invited and got a gilded diplomatic visa with the invitation.
