Tonight, I want to address the ongoing situation with Ukraine. I called Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, a dictator, which is a term Putin would love to hear. I said Zelensky should move fast or he won't have a country left, noting his poor job and the shattered state of Ukraine. Some say I echoed Putin's talking points by questioning Zelensky's legitimacy due to the cancellation of elections. I mentioned that Zelensky admitted half the money we sent is missing, which he didn't say, and that his poll numbers are very low, but that's not true either.

We fund one third of Ukraine's government, which includes salaries for teachers, janitors, and everyone else, not just the military. Meanwhile, people in our country are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to focus on our own problems instead of paying for their government. Our priority should be to stop the killing and provide American leadership, rather than giving more money without any conditions.

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.

Zelensky needs to act swiftly, as the war isn't progressing favorably for Ukraine. I believe I can successfully negotiate an end to the war with Russia, something others have failed to do. Putin may even agree. Zelensky seems unwilling or unable to pursue peace, evident by his frustration over not being invited to Saudi Arabia, and the fact that there have been no productive talks to end the war in three years. The war has resulted in devastating casualties for both sides, with countless lives lost. Ukraine is shattered under his leadership. To end this, you must talk to both sides, which hasn't happened. My hope is to see a ceasefire soon and restore stability in Europe.

I think Zelensky's recent behavior is a complete disaster. I've been to Ukraine many times and appreciate their fight, and was hoping our minerals deal would go well. I even spoke to Zelensky this morning, and he was very upbeat. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with him again. His confrontation with the President was over the top, making it difficult to convince Americans he's a good investment. In Munich, Zelensky was terrible. He either needs to resign and send someone we can work with, or he needs to change his approach. We want to discuss security guarantees, ceasefires, and how the war ends, especially with this half-trillion-dollar deal that President Trump is proud of.

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.

Trump implemented a loan system to help Ukraine access its $10-12 trillion worth of critical minerals, making it potentially the richest country in Europe. By supporting Ukraine, we can secure these assets for the West instead of letting Putin and China benefit. It's crucial to assist Ukraine in winning the war and not allow Putin to control these valuable resources.

I'm angry at Americans for protecting Zelensky. He's an unlawful president whose idol is Putin. Zelensky always lived in Moscow and dreamed of joining high society. He's a comedian, and Ukrainians support him because of a movie where he played a president – it's just marketing. When Zelensky was a comedian, the greatest honor for him was when Putin watched him. I know this because I'm a singer who performed at the same comedy show in Russia. Zelensky has nothing to do with benefiting Ukraine or Ukrainians. He even participated in an LGBTQ music band. Zelensky always wanted to be at the top, no matter the cost. He's the kind of person who would do anything to get what he wants. All the money donated to Ukraine goes into his and his friends' pockets. My friends in Ukraine have received nothing during this time. None of them have gotten even a piece of bread from the billions Americans have sent.

Discussion on whether to send money to Ukraine. "Man, they need it." "I think we should help, but I don't have a studied answer for you... I can make an argument both ways, and half my family's Ukrainian from my grandparents." "Have you how much money have you sent to Ukraine? None. So what do you mean by we? You're the one whose family's from Ukraine. Like, why don't you send them a billion dollars?" "Because I'm trying to fix health care." "Why don't you fix their health care if you're, like, so deep? If you think we need to help, why don't you start? How about you first?" "It's like, we need to help. That's not what charity is. Forcing other people to help is not charity. Here's the good news." "Good news is all the weapons were on loan lease. We're getting it back." "And Right. Our dear president Trump has negotiated that we own half the minerals. So, he turned this horrible Into a profit center."

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 Trump is upset with President Zelensky, and rightfully so. The Biden administration had their own frustrations with Zelensky. I was personally upset when Zelensky rejected a mineral rights deal we discussed, especially after we presented it as a security guarantee. President Trump's message isn't that we don't care about Ukraine, but it's on another continent and doesn't directly impact Americans. Some gratitude is expected, and Zelensky's accusations of disinformation are counterproductive. President Trump is transparent and won't be manipulated. He's willing to work on peace if Zelensky is a partner. Regarding a meeting between President Trump and President Putin, it won't happen until we have an agenda and expected outcomes. The timing depends on progress in ending the war in Ukraine. If President Trump can seal a peace deal, it should be celebrated, because he is the only global leader that can make this happen, others have tried and failed.

I've asked Congress to investigate where the money sent to Ukraine has gone. The American people deserve to know, as it's our taxpayer money. There's reason to be concerned because Ukraine has been known for corruption and money laundering. It's not just a billion dollars; it's a hundred times that amount sent to one country. Zelenskyy claimed Russia fired a rocket into Poland, which would be an act of war, but it turned out the rocket came from Ukraine. If Zelenskyy is going to beg the world for more money and demand more from the US, he needs to be more careful about making global statements that could bring us to the brink of war. We can't have full faith and trust by giving a leader a hundred billion dollars when he says, "I'm not telling you where the money went."

We're being pimped by Zelensky and the US government. Our hard-earned money is being sent to Ukraine, and when Zelensky gets it, he says it's not enough. We can't even afford basic necessities here, yet we're sending billions to Ukraine. Zelensky is having steak dinners with celebrities while our veterans sleep on the streets and children go hungry. It's infuriating and makes no sense. If people want Ukraine to have money, they should send their own. We need to take care of our own problems first.

I was honored to witness President Trump stand up for American interests, defending us from being fleeced and taken for granted. Zelensky's impertinence and disrespect towards the U.S. were shocking. He should be thanking us. The only reason Zelensky has power is because of the United States. Americans have suffered economically funding this war, depleting our resources and negatively affecting our ability to project power elsewhere. Instead of gratitude, Zelensky lectured us, demanding more and pushing for a never-ending war with Russia. No American wants their children dying for Zelensky. President Trump rightly insisted on being a partner for peace, asserting American interests and defending the American people from a potential World War III. He showed the world what strong American leadership looks like.

We're spending $350 billion, and Europe gets their money back as a loan, while we're just giving it away. Why didn't Biden demand equalization? Zelensky, a dictator without elections, better move fast or he won't have a country left. If he asks Biden for money, Biden says yes. What about the foreign bank accounts and the woman the FBI didn't interview? What if we started opening those bank accounts? He's compromised. I'm not saying that's happening, but it could happen.

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there multiple times since the war started and understand the consequences of Putin's actions. I was hoping the minerals deal would go well; it would be transformative. I spoke with Zelensky this morning. I was proud of President Trump and JD Vance standing up for our country. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I'm unsure if we can do business with Zelensky again. Most Americans wouldn't want to partner with him after that. His confrontational approach was excessive. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vital, but after what I witnessed, I question if Zelensky can make a deal with the U.S. He was terrible in Munich and has made it difficult to convince Americans he's a good investment. He either needs to resign or change his approach.

President Zelensky was initially willing to sign a deal, but delayed it, even after being urged to do so in person at the White House. An agreement was prepared for signing, but Zelensky never signed it. An unelected president of a client state, whose bureaucrats' retirement accounts are funded by American taxpayers, has a retirement age of 60, while France is 62 and Italy is 67. Zelensky, a performer and ordinary person, rose to the occasion heroically but is now stuck and under pressure. Some of his government officials are good, but he's not getting the best advice. The proposed agreement ensures money benefits both American and Ukrainian people, unlike rapacious Chinese deals or loans to own. It's a genuine economic partnership where both parties profit. This agreement regulates the flow of money, which is why some people don't like it.

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.

Putin knew that Ukraine was stealing money we sent them when Biden was in office. Trump will stop that, and the fighting will stop. I stand by my statement that Trump will stop us from throwing money down the drain in a war we have nothing to do with. Their own president said they don't know where half the money went. You're paying off the war machine to prolong this war, and men are dying because of it. That's wrong and Trump will stop it. At the beginning of the war, we were on both sides with gas contracts with Russia and giving money to Ukraine. Putin is responsible for the war. But why isn't there outrage about China's mistreatment of people? Because everything is made in China, and it's all about the dollars.

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.

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.

I think the situation with Ukraine is a complete disaster. I've been there many times since the war began, and I understand the consequences of Putin's actions. I was hoping the minerals deal, which could transform the relationship, would be successful. I even spoke with Zelensky this morning. However, what I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful. I don't know if we can do business with Zelensky again. His handling of the meeting was over the top. The relationship between Ukraine and America is vitally important, but after what I witnessed, I question whether Zelensky can make a deal with the United States. He was terrible in Munich and has made it almost impossible to convince the American people that he's a good investment. Zelensky either needs to resign or change his approach.

I think I'm going to resurrect that deal, or some people won't be too happy. It's time for elections. It's also time to find out what happened with all the money we've been sending to Ukraine. Where is it? I can tell you we're going to do something with Russia that others were unable to do. We can make a deal with Russia to stop the killing of potentially millions of people. The soldiers are being wiped out on both sides. It's horrible. The weaponry today is so powerful that it's killing a lot of soldiers, Russian and Ukrainian. I don't want to see them killed. They have families.
