MUST WATCH: President Trump And JD Vance Go Off On Ukrainian President Zelensky During Heated Conversation

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance got into a heated discussion with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The situation got heated after JD Vance told Zelensky, “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.”

Zelensky later responded, “Everyone has problems. Even you. You have nice ocean and don’t feel now but you will feel in the future.”

Trump followed up Zelensky’s remarks by saying, “Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel, we’re trying to solve a problem. You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel… what you’re doing is very disrespectful to this country.”

Vance followed up by adding, “You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for The United States Of America and the president who is trying to save your country.”

The discussion continued when Trump added, “Your country is in big trouble. I know you’re not winning. You’re not winning this. You have a damn good chance of coming out, okay?”

Zelensky added, “We are staying in our country, staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we’ve been alone, and we are thankful.”

Trump added, “You haven’t been alone. We gave you, through our stupid president, $350 billion. We gave you military equipment. Your men are brave but they had to use our military. If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks.”

Per The New York Times:

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday in a remarkably fractious White House meeting, accusing the leader of the besieged country of not being grateful enough for U.S. support and strong-arming him into making a peace deal with Russia.

With voices raised, Mr. Vance told Mr. Zelensky that it was “disrespectful” for him to come to the Oval Office and make his case in front of the news media, while Mr. Trump told the Ukrainian leader, “You’re not really in a good position right now.” Mr. Trump added, “You’re gambling with World War III.” At one point, Mr. Trump said, “You either make a deal or we are out.”

The exchange in front of television cameras was one of the most dramatic moments ever to play out in public in the Oval Office and underscored the radical break between the United States and Ukraine since Mr. Trump took office. Mr. Trump has effectively sided with Russia while falsely blaming Ukraine for starting the war and not giving in to his demands for how to end it.
