Are we watching the same video?
Today, President Trump and Vice President, JD Vance, held a highly anticipated meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and let’s just say it turned into a one-sided a** whooping of the ungrateful leader in front of the entire world.
The meeting, initially intended to discuss a potential deal involving Ukraine’s rare earth minerals and broader security arrangements tied to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, quickly turned into a heated argument. Trump told Zelenskyy to show more gratitude for American support, after we’ve spent billions of taxpayer dollars funding this war, and the situation escalated as Trump and Vance warned Zelenskyy that without a deal, U.S. support could be withdrawn, stating, “You’re either going to make a deal or we’re out,” and suggesting that Ukraine would be left to “fight it out” alone.
Vance, who is an absolute bulldog by the way, also defended Trump’s diplomatic approach, including his interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while chastising Zelenskyy for his handling of the war and past media appearances.
Zelenskyy pushed back, correcting what he saw as misrepresentations, particularly about the conflict’s origins—and emphasized Ukraine’s perspective on failed diplomatic efforts with Russia since 2014. Of course, we all know that the United States is partly to blame for what happened in 2014, and a in leaked 2014 phone conversation between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt (then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine), Victoria could be heard saying “f*** the EU” as they discussed their preferred candidates for Ukraine’s post-Yanukovych government… which the US helped to topple.
Anyways, back to the war… the heated exchange unfolded in front of cameras in the Oval Office, a stunning example of incredibly transparent diplomacy. As per usual, the mainstream media is calling Trump a bully and a clown, but the line drawn in the sand for Zelenskyy will undoubtedly resolve this conflict quicker, save money, and most importantly, save lives. Ukraine can’t win this war without United States funding it… it’s clear. And if Ukraine isn’t going to move towards negotiating for peace, President Trump and JD Vance made it clear that the United States won’t continue to bankroll another endless conflict. It’s that simple.
Here’s the bulk of their argument:
Zelensky REALLY stepped in it today. Until now, the Trump Administration was working to get Ukraine the most beneficial deal they could possibly get. In return, Zelensky came into our White House and metaphorically spit in our face.
After today, I predict all support propping up… pic.twitter.com/Er3sWexBLB

Afterward, Trump took to Truth Social, claiming Zelenskyy “disrespected the United States” and was “not ready for peace,” suggesting he could return “when he is ready.” Zelenskyy later posted a conciliatory message on X, thanking America for its support.

And while some have called the conversation an ambush, as Collin Rigg points out, there was 40 minutes of conversation before it got heated:
Here is the full 50-minute conversation between President Trump and President Zelensky.
There are a lot of politicians claiming Zelensky was "ambushed."
There was a full 40 minutes of dialogue before the "fireworks" started.
The president insisted throughout the first 40… pic.twitter.com/yu1ragwpAS

But… that hasn’t stopped people from complaining. Everyone from politicians and journalists, Left-wing media and Hollywood elites. Even Bravo’s Andy Cohen chimed in with the most absurd take on planet Earth. According to Andy, Zelenskyy “ate them up.”
we did…. and Zelensky ate them up. https://t.co/Kxra5DGnOa

HUH!?
How can anyone with a straight face say that Zelenskyy didn’t anything other than sit there and take the spanking he deserved? How can anyone possibly draw that conclusion… even the Ukrainian ambassador was sitting there with her face in her hands.
The internet was quick to call out the delusional host:

I don't understand how a rational person can truly believe this. He got embarrassed and sent home with less support than he came in with. https://t.co/6rhtRFRkQc

(@GamecockSheriff) Foreign Policy Expert Andy Cohen weighs in on the Oval Office meeting. I’m shocked they have cell service in the backroom of whatever bar he’s in right now. https://t.co/cr3TCkVQYs
