Trump Fires Back at Zelenskyy: Blames Him for Ukraine War, Again Liberals Meltdown

President Donald Trump didn’t hold back on Tuesday, slamming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He called him a “poor negotiator” and “grossly incompetent”.

As Ukraine fumed over being excluded from the Saudi-hosted negotiations, President Trump brushed off their frustration.

“You’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it. You should have never started it. You should have made a deal.”

So cry us a river, Zelenskyy.

Also, he better cough up the billions. Because we’re getting back every dime that we sent to Ukraine.

The laundromat for our money has closed.

Liberals across Twitterverse (is it Xverse now?) are saying that Trump is rewriting history.

They’re in for a shock, aren’t they?

Politico reports:

President Donald Trump mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a poor negotiator and “grossly incompetent” Tuesday, as tensions continued to rise over the administration’s direct talks with Russia about ending the war it launched nearly three years ago.

The comments come amid criticism from European allies and many American intelligence experts that Ukraine and European nations invested in Ukraine’s defense had been excluded from negotiations that began early Tuesday between U.S. and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia.

Asserting that the initial round of talks had gone “very well,” Trump bristled at Zelenskyy’s frustration over being excluded and at the Ukrainian president’s decision not to fly to Riyadh for additional talks with the U.S. delegation this week.

“Today I heard, ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited,’” Trump said when asked about criticism from Ukraine, seeming to direct his response to Zelenskyy. “Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it — three years. You should have never been there. You should have never started it. You should have made a deal.”

The comment was Trump’s harshest condemnation to date of the Ukrainian side. It came as Zelenskyy and leaders across Europe are scrambling to respond to growing indications that Kyiv’s most critical ally for the last three years appears to be more interested in normalizing relations with Russia than in making sure Ukraine endures and that Russian President Vladimir Putin faces stronger deterrence after starting the first land war on European soil since 1945.

I have a feeling that Zelenskyy’s stranglehold on Ukraine (and our money!) is about to be released.

Trump tells the devastating truth about the catastrophe in Ukraine:

The country doesn’t have democracy. Zelenskyy suspended elections.

They effectively have martial law.

Zelenskyy’s approval rating is 4%.

Zelenskyy has no idea where half of the money we gave them is. Up to… pic.twitter.com/Ov8EaR4Hhw
