Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy clash at White House Ukraine meeting
CNBC ^ | Feb 28 | Kevin Breuninger

Posted on 02/28/2025 10:06:22 AM PST by RandFan

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance argued with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday in a tense exchange in the Oval Office over Kyiv’s war with invading Russian forces.

Vance accused Zelenskyy, who had traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with Trump and sign a deal on rare minerals that has become a crucial part of the U.S. continuing its support of Ukraine, of being disrespectful.

Trump at one point told Zelenskyy, “You’re gambling with World War III.”

The press event went off the rails after Trump was asked about his posture toward Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Ukraine’s supporters criticize as being too friendly, versus Zelenskyy, whom he recently called a “dictator.”

After Trump said he was aligning himself with “both of them” in order to seek peace, Vance added that former President Joe Biden’s attacks against Putin only resulted in more fighting and destruction.

“The path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy,” Vance said.

Zelenskyy asked to respond to Vance, noting that Putin previously broke ceasefire agreements.

“What kind of diplomacy? JD, you are speaking about?” Zelenskyy said.

“During the war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have a nice ocean and don’t feel it now, but you will feel it in the future,” said Zelenskyy.

“Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel, we’re trying to solve a problem,” said Trump. “Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel.”

“I’m not telling you ...” said the Ukrainian president.

“You’re in no position to dictate that. You’re in no position to dictate what we’re gonna feel,” Trump said.

My comment from yesterday.

2/27/2025, 10:35:16 AM · 9 of 47 Biblebelter to ChicagoConservative27 I don’t think the minature poodle has been properly trained and house broken. I fully expect him to not play nice and accept his time on the world stage is nearly over. Expect him to bark as loudly as he can and leave do-do on the floor before he is put back on a leash and flown back from where he came.

“During the war, everybody has problems, even you, but you have a nice ocean and don’t feel it now, but you will feel it in the future,” said Zelensky.

This started the argument. IMO, Zelensky basically said that we WILL get what's coming to us.

Both JD and then Trump responded back appropriately.

DOGE needs to start following the money trail on the entirety of the funding to Ukraine. A lot of DC Swamp dwellers have their hands in it as both the President and VP well know. Hence, their grilling of Little Z, the Swamp’s puppet!

Z went into his act, same as I’m sure he did with Biden. He’s not dealing with Biden now, the little shit.

that clip shows of the way comedians impersonate him like the guy who confronted alec Baldwin. The hand waving is in full force.
