WASHINGTON, D.C. — Despite fighting an ongoing war with Russia, acting U.S. President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy appeared to be in high spirits as he dropped by the White House to pick up his most recent paycheck.
Though it required him to take valuable time away from campaigning on behalf of U.S. politicians, Zelenskyy was eager to stop by the Oval Office to personally receive his paycheck from his underling, Joe Biden.
"I love money," Zelenskyy told members of the White House Press Corpse as he picked up his check with a sly wink.
When asked why he doesn't use direct deposit, Zelenskyy said he feels nostalgic about picking up a check in person. "There's nothing quite like holding a check for a couple billion dollars in your hand," he said.
In recent weeks, Zelenskyy had been quite busy on the campaign trail, making the case to voters why they should give him a second term as the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. Reports indicated he had traveled all over — flying from Ukraine to Pennsylvania to New York and back again. But he was sure to make time to swing by Washington, D.C. to get paid.
"Thanks, Joe!" he said, waving goodbye to the official White House Payroll Clerk as he left for another whirlwind trip to Ukraine.
At publishing time, Zelenskyy had reportedly asked for a pay raise. "It's tough when you live paycheck to paycheck," he said. "Bombs are expensive."

I thought Jill was the acting president. As she holds Cabinet Meetings.
Does not know how to use direct deposit
> $223,000,000 per day.
That’s what this fun has cost us since wars begin.
At first I thought they were talking about SloJoe - as best as I can see, he doesn’t do much other than vacation in Delaware and pick up his check.
he drops off a little of the Burisma evidence he has each time Joe ante’s up.
1. I ain't paying.
2. Why is it that so many posters on here seem like English isn't their first language ?
All joking aside, I think that most of the nation doesn’t know who is really the President.
SloJoe has direct deposit. Matter of fact, I don’t think government employees are still allowed to receive ‘checks’. They still get payroll statements, but no paper ‘check’.
In one way or another, you are paying, even if it’s just paying more at the pump because of the repercussions this has had with OPEC and oil production.
You’re paying because as the federal government spends nearly 1/4 more than it takes in, you get inflation, and Ukraine is contributing to this.
You’re paying because the risk of this war going nuclear is larger today, and if we put Russia into a position where they perceive an existential threat where they are losing, they (((WILL))) use them, just like we would. God help us if idiots like Graham actually did get their way!
You’re paying because if you have male children or grandchildren, the probability of them getting tangled up in a proxy conflict where Russia returns the favor and arms/trains/provides Intel to someone were fighting is very high.
Everyone in this country is paying to various degrees and in different ways. But if you’re an American or tied to our economy, you are going to pay, even if that isn’t pressed into your head by a MSM which would rather talk about our successful sanctions, awesome wonder weapons, glorious counter offensives, how all Ukrainians support Mr. Z and this war (which they don’t)...
Have you noticed how our MSM no longer conducts polls on how many people support this war? Why do you think that is? They talked about that a lot when the polls showed support for this war!
Have you noticed that our MSM no longer highlights how much we are spending, what the total sum of our support to Ukraine is costing the tax payer? Why would they do that?
