I don’t even know where to start.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tried to show up President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office.
It didn’t end well because Zelensky has left the White House.
Here are a few clips.
Does Zelensky want this war to end? He’ll only accept a ceasefire with guarantees.
Uh, excuse me? We don’t owe anyone anything. You’re not getting our help for free:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Your people are dying. You’re running low on soldiers. You’re running low on soldiers. It would be a damn good thing. And then you tell us, “I don’t want a ceasefire. I don’t want a ceasefire. I want to go, and I want this.”Look, if you could get a ceasefire right now, I tell you, you take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: Of course, we want to stop the war.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But you’re saying you don’t want to cease fire? I want a cease-fire.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: With guarantees.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You’ll get a ceasefire faster than an agreement.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: Ask our people about a ceasefire, what they think.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: That wasn’t with me. That was with a guy named Biden, who was not a smart person. That was with Obama.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: It was your president.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Excuse me? That was with Obama, who gave you sheets. And I gave you javelins. Yes. I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks. Obama gave you sheets. In fact, the statement is “Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.” You got to be more thankful, because let me tell you, you don’t have the cards. With us, you have the cards, but without us, you don’t have any cards. Here’s a tough deal to make because the attitudes have to change.
Trump told Zelensky he does not have the cards to make any demands:
VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: And do you think that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: A lot of questions. Let’s start from the beginning. First of all, during war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have nice ocean and don’t feel now, but you will feel it in the future.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You don’t know that. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.We’re trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: I’m not telling you –PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Because you’re in no position to dictate that.Remember this: You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong.You’re right now not in a very good position. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position, and he happens to be right –VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: From the very beginning of the war.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: I’m not playing cards, Mr. President, I’ve very serious.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: With us, you start having cards right now you don’t know you’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III. You’re gambling with World War III.And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country, far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Zelensky tried to play victim, crying about being alone, when we know he’s taken so much money from America and Europe:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You’re not winning this. You have damn a good chance of coming out okay because of us.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: Mr. President, we are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we’ve been alone, and we are thankful. I said thanks.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You haven’t been alone. We gave you through the stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment. You and your men are brave. But they had to use our military. If you didn’t have our military equipment–VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: You invited me.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.
Reality is, Zelensky, there will be disagreements:
VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: In three days. I heard it from Putin, in three days. This is something –PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Maybe less.It’s going to be a very hard thing to do business like this. I tell you, you.VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE: Say thank you. Accept that there are disagreements. And let’s go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to fight it out in the American media — when you’re wrong. We know that you’re wrong.PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But you see, I think it’s good for the American people to see what’s going on. I think it’s very important. That’s why I kept this going so long. You have to be thankful. You don’t have the cards.VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY: I’m thankful.
