I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, the meeting was a complete disaster, and I question whether Americans will still see him favorably. Based on what I witnessed, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want Zelenskyy as a business partner. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about reaching a ceasefire and ending the war. I am proud of President Trump for showing the world not to trifle with him. However, Zelenskyy seemed to try and bait Trump in the Oval Office. JD was awesome.

I want to say that you are the ally I've been hoping for my entire life. Not one American has died defending Ukraine. You've taken our weapons and you've been very effective, and I'm grateful to have you as our ally. However, I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. The way he handled the meeting and confronted the president was over the top. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vitally important, but I'm uncertain if Zelensky can make a deal with the United States after his recent behavior.

Don't tell us how to feel while we're trying to solve a problem. You're in no position to dictate our feelings, and you're being disrespectful to this country. We gave you $350 billion and military equipment. Your men are brave, but they needed our equipment. Without it, the war would've been over quickly. I was with Obama, who gave you sheets, and I gave you javelins to take out tanks. Remember, Obama gave sheets, and Trump gave javelins. You need to be more thankful. With us, you have leverage, but without us, you have nothing. Act like a man. The president has asked Zelensky to leave the White House because he felt disrespected. Officials felt that Zelensky's body language, like shrugging and eye-rolling, was ungrateful and disrespectful. What did I ever do to deserve such disrespect?

After watching that meeting, I'm convinced this administration has zero interest in helping Ukraine maintain its sovereignty. They want us to shut up, stop complaining, stop asking for help and money, concede to Russia, and leave the US alone. Trump wants peace, but his idea of peace is to end the war and let Russia do whatever it wants. Zelensky was villainized for wanting guarantees and protections for Ukraine while being open to a ceasefire. He was told he's prolonging the war and wants World War III. No, he wants to defend his country and maintain as much freedom as possible, but he's being villainized for it. After that meeting, we're fucked.

So, we just had a very intense meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Zelensky. Vance suggested diplomacy for peace, but Zelensky quickly shot that down, bringing up a past broken deal with Putin, and questioned what kind of diplomacy Vance was even talking about. Vance responded by mentioning that Zelensky was being disrespectful. Trump then intervened, telling Zelensky not to dictate how they should feel, pointing out Ukraine's weak position and the risk of gambling with World War III. I made it clear that my alignment is with the United States and the world's well-being. I need to be able to negotiate without the kind of hatred Zelensky has for Putin, which makes reaching a deal difficult. I reminded everyone that without the United States, Ukraine has no leverage.

I can't stand Putin, but Zelenskyy rubs me the wrong way too. The idea that support from the U.S. is never-ending is a pervasive problem with entities like NATO, the UN, Europe, and Canada. Without the U.S., Ukraine would be Russia. These modern comforts are supported by the U.S. and our military, which emboldens people like Putin. There's no winning without the U.S., so don't be a jerk in the Oval Office. Zelenskyy always wants a photo op, walks around like cartoon Steve Jobs, and is probably working on a book deal. He says they've been alone since day one, which isn't true. They've received hundreds of billions of dollars, largely from the U.S. A little gratitude would be nice when you visit our Oval Office.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for turning our meeting into a fiasco by being antagonistic. He undermined our efforts to bring about peace by attacking Putin and making maximalist demands. This makes us question whether he truly wants a peace deal. Our goal is to explore whether peace is possible and get Russia to the negotiating table. I question whether Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for a negotiation. Despite reports, we are coordinating with the Ukrainians. President Trump wants to bring an end to this unsustainable, bloody war. He's the only leader who has a chance of achieving this. Zelenskyy should be thanking and supporting President Trump for his efforts to help bring an end to this war.

So, I saw Trump meet with Zelensky, and it was wild. Trump really laid down the law, a total master class in the art of the deal. He made it clear the U.S. isn't just a piggy bank. We want something in return for our investment. Zelensky seems used to just getting what he wants without even saying thank you, walking in, demanding money without any gratitude. Trump's message was clear: this is how it's going to be. The press conference was canceled. It was a serious power move. Some feel bad for Zelensky but it shows the world that the United States is done being a charity organization.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco during his visit. We had an understanding that he wouldn't come here and lecture us about diplomacy, but he did, leading to a predictable outcome. His actions set his country back in achieving peace, which is President Trump's goal. Zelenskyy undermined efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomacy and making maximalist demands. We need to explore if peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. Zelenskyy was here to sign a mineral rights deal, but his comments suggest he doesn't want peace. President Trump wants to explore a peace deal before discussing security guarantees. He's the only one who can potentially bring the combatants to the table, so we should support his efforts instead of undermining them.

Zelenskyy said many remarkable and disturbing things, like when he repeatedly rejected President Trump's statement that we should pursue a ceasefire. How could you reject a ceasefire? He also kept saying Europe is doing so much more than us, which begs the question: what do you need us for? If Europe is so great, why are you begging us for money, protection, and guarantees? President Trump is a peacemaker, having brought peace for four years during his previous term. Today, we saw what it's like to have a strong leader in the White House, and the whole world witnessed the strength of American leadership.

I met with Zelensky this morning, advising him to remain grateful and positive, promising to discuss security guarantees later. However, what I witnessed was an absolute disaster, making me question if Americans can still see him favorably. Most Americans, including myself after seeing that, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky. Last night, I spoke with President Trump, who was optimistic about a potential deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for demonstrating strength. He aims for a ceasefire and an end to the war, but Zelensky seemed to provoke him in the Oval Office.

President Zelenskyy needs to apologize for creating a fiasco. He was antagonistic and undermined our efforts to bring about peace by questioning our diplomatic approach. We were trying to get Russia to the table, but Zelenskyy's actions suggest he may not want a peace deal. We need to explore whether peace is possible, even if there's only a 1% chance. President Trump is trying to do this, while others seem to have no exit strategy, potentially prolonging the conflict. I doubt Zelenskyy is willing to do what's needed for negotiation, especially after public comments that undermine peace efforts. President Trump wants an enduring peace, and if I were Ukraine, I would be thanking him and supporting his efforts.

I'm very proud of President Trump and was also very proud of JD Vance for standing up for our country. We want to be helpful, but what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful. I'm unsure if we can ever conduct business with Zelensky again after that.

I've been to Ukraine many times since the war started and admire their fight. I hoped this minerals deal would be transformative, having even spoken with Zelensky this morning. President Trump was in a good mood last night, and I've never been more proud of him. However, what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can continue doing business with Zelensky. His handling of the meeting and confrontation with the president was excessive. While the relationship between Ukraine and America remains vital, I question Zelensky's ability to strike a deal with the U.S. after this. He was terrible in Munich, making it difficult to convince Americans he's a worthwhile investment. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

This situation is an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup, orchestrated to compel Zelensky into a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without concrete security guarantees. Zelensky came to Washington to improve relations with Trump, but Vice President Vance confronted him, which I believe was deliberate and known by Trump. This was a play to Trump's base and, more importantly, to show fealty to Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Zelensky, showing dignity and representing his people, didn't follow the script and tried to correct the lies being told. It wasn't about gratitude; it was an effort to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship, allowing Trump to hand U.S. interests and Ukraine to Putin. The big question is, why?

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there many times since the war started and appreciate their fight. I had hoped this minerals deal would transform our relationship, and I even spoke with Zelensky this morning. President Trump was in a very good mood last night, and I've never been more proud of him. However, what I witnessed in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with Zelensky again. His handling of the meeting was over the top, and I don't think most Americans would want to partner with him. While the relationship between Ukraine and America is vital, I question if Zelensky can make a deal after this. He was terrible in Munich, making it hard to convince Americans he's a good investment. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach.

I've never seen an exchange like that between Zelensky and President Trump. I can't stand Putin, but Zelensky is indicative of a pervasive problem with nations thinking the US is a never-ending source of support while complaining about it. Without the US, Ukraine would be Russia. These modern comforts are supported by the US military. This mindset emboldens people like Putin because they know the well runs dry. There's no winning without the United States, so it's not a good idea to walk into the Oval Office and be difficult. Everything with Zelensky is a photo op, and it doesn't seem genuine. He says they've been alone since day one, which isn't true. They've received hundreds of billions of dollars, largely from the United States. A simple "please" and "thank you" would be nice to hear.

Trump and Vance are cowards. We should be thanking Ukraine for fighting back against the Russian invasion, especially since Trump was too scared to even criticize Putin. He even called Putin's actions "brilliant" three years ago. The invasion was supposed to be quick, but it's been three years. The Russian economy is collapsing, and they've lost their offensive capabilities, while Ukraine continues to defend itself. Nobody should dare to lecture Zelenskyy.

I watched Zelensky's press conference and believe his pain is derailing peace. While I understand his emotions after three years of suffering under Putin, he needs to prioritize peace over pain. This press conference was an opportunity to show he's willing to make peace and use aid to end the war. Instead, he spent the time calling Putin names, which isn't productive. Even if Zelensky is morally right, Putin is the stronger force, and morality alone won't end the war. Trump, despite losing his cool at the end, maintained composure and diffused Zelensky's negativity with humor. Unlike Biden, Trump is talking to Putin. I'm tired of politicians who prioritize sounding good over doing good. Zelensky has spent too much time garnering sympathy without stopping the killing. We must choose between feeling right and being effective, and Zelensky needs to choose between arguing and making peace.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. This was a setup orchestrated by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance to appease Vladimir Putin and humiliate Zelensky. Trump even admitted it was "great television." Zelensky was compelled to come to Washington seeking support, but Vice President Vance ambushed him, with Trump's blessing. In my experience, such actions don't occur without the president's approval. This was a deliberate attempt to undermine the U.S.-Ukraine relationship and hand U.S. interests to Putin. Zelensky, despite the pressure, maintained his dignity and defended the truth, refusing to play along with their script. His attempt to clarify the situation wasn't about a lack of gratitude, as he has repeatedly thanked the U.S. for its support.

I've been in countless bilateral meetings with heads of state, but I've never witnessed behavior like President Zelensky's. He berated and interrupted his host instead of showing gratitude for the U.S.'s significant aid, which has essentially kept him alive and in power. This was very disappointing to see. I sincerely hope President Zelensky reconsiders his approach, reaches out to President Trump, expresses the gratitude he owes, apologizes for his recent behavior, and agrees to this mutual rights deal. It's the best path to peace in the region and serves the interests of both our countries.

Zelensky got the U.S. to spend $350 billion on a war that was unwinnable and unnecessary, a war that wouldn't have started under my presidency. Without U.S. involvement, this war will never end. The U.S. has spent far more than Europe, who will get their money back as a loan, unlike us. Why didn't Biden demand equalization, especially since this war affects Europe more? Zelensky admits half the money we sent is missing and refuses to hold elections. He played Biden, a dictator without elections needs to act fast. We will negotiate an end to the war with Russia because Biden and Europe have failed. Zelensky is upset he wasn't invited to Saudi Arabia. The losses are staggering, and Zelensky has done a terrible job. To end the war, you must talk to both sides, which hasn't happened for three years. We aim for a ceasefire and stability in Europe and the Middle East.

I called Zelenskyy a welfare queen because he's constantly asking for money with arrogance, despite billions already unaccounted for. We're working to protect his borders while ours are ignored. His wife shops in Paris, and Ukrainian oligarchs buy yachts. I've had no respect for him since day one. Trump's approach was refreshing, considering how much Zelenskyy has taken from America without respect. He wears military fatigues, acting downtrodden, but he's been on magazine covers and wanted to attend the Oscars. I believe all politicians lie, so I analyzed speeches and transcripts. Putin stated NATO's eastward expansion violated prior assurances when the Berlin Wall fell. We're the aggressors, not him, pushing NATO expansion. Zelenskyy has suspended elections, locked down churches and nuns. I don't like him at all.

He broke agreements and killed our people, refusing prisoner exchanges. What diplomacy is that? We're trying to prevent your country's destruction. Have you even been to Ukraine to understand our problems? During war, everyone faces issues. Don't dictate what we'll feel. We'll be strong. You're gambling with lives and risking World War III, showing disrespect to the country that has supported you. Have you even said thank you? You campaigned against us. Do you think speaking loudly changes things? You're not winning. We've given you billions in aid and military equipment. Without our help, the war would have ended quickly. Just say thank you, accept disagreements, and discuss them instead of fighting in the media when you're wrong. It's important for Americans to see this. You're running low on soldiers, and you should want a ceasefire to stop the bloodshed.

President Trump is upset with President Zelensky, and in some cases, rightfully so. Joe Biden also had frustrations with Zelensky because he wouldn't express gratitude for the help he received. I was personally upset when Zelensky rejected a joint venture for mineral rights after initially agreeing to it. We saw it as a security guarantee, giving us a vested interest in Ukraine's safety while getting paid back for the taxpayers' money we invested. While Ukraine is on another continent, it impacts our allies and the world. There should be some gratitude, but instead, Zelensky accuses the President of disinformation, which is counterproductive. President Trump is transparent and won't tolerate being "gamed." He's willing to work on peace and hopes Zelensky will be a partner, not someone putting out counter-messaging.
