Zelinski lost me today. I have supported him from the beginning, but it rubs me the wrong way when a beggar “demands” anything.

We owe you nothing. I did feel sorry for Ukraine, but not anymore.

How dare they come and demand anything.

Not smart of Zelenski to try to threaten Trump, Vance, and all of the US, in our own White House!

A Statement from President Donald J. Trump

“We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

Trump and JD reminds of the Christopher Walken lion speech.

It may just have been a bad deal for Ukraine. I mean, if we were getting raw material rights, and weren't offering anything concrete in return...I can see why Zelendky would turn it down.

Have to know what the deal was in order to have an informed opinion.

Thank you for that video there.

Trump and Vance dug into Little Z verbally, in front of the cameras.

well, today certainly demonstrates the old saw: ‘you give an idiot enough rope and he’ll talk himself into a hanging.’

good grief.

What happens to Zelensky when he gets back to Ukraine? Does he have the full support of the people and his government after passing away the best chance they have for peace?

Sure, they're going to have to eat a sh*t sandwich, but this has gone on for 3 years. It's not going to get better, and without the US, they have no chance of changing the outcome in their favor.

Did Zelensky really think he could beat Trump in negotiations?

FBI ignoring orders from the AG. Generals refusing Trump’s orders or resisting them. Federal judges blocking his every move. Republicans slow walking his nominees.

This is what emboldens guys like Zelinsky.

Zelensky had his chance and he blew it. If nothing else, these events will probably embolden Putin. We’ll probably see an escalation and the total demise of the Ukrainian armed forces.

The opening paragraphs from our friends at the AP:

“President Donald Trump shouted at Ukraine’s leader on Friday during an extraordinary meeting in the Oval Office, berating President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for “gambling with millions of lives” and suggesting his actions could trigger World War III.

Zelenskyy then abruptly left the White House without signing a critical minerals deal with the U.S. that Trump had demanded and suggested was a condition for future support for Ukraine.

Untouched salad plates and other lunch items were being packed up outside the Cabinet room where the lunch between Trump and Zelenskyy and their delegations was supposed to have taken place.

The last 10 minutes of the nearly 45-minute engagement devolved into a tense back and forth between Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Zelenskyy — who had urged skepticism about Russia’s commitment to diplomacy, citing Moscow’s years of broken commitments on the global stage.

It began with Vance telling Zelenskyy, “Mr. President, with respect. I think it’s disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media.”

Zelenskyy tried to object, prompting Trump to raise his voice and say, “You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people.”

“You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have,” Trump said.”
