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 was very disappointed by the speech given by Vice President JD Vance at the conference yesterday. Our allies needed to hear a renewed commitment from America to NATO and our European partners. They needed to know that we are willing to stand up to the Kremlin and provide Ukraine with the help it needs to fight Russia's war. Instead, they got a condescending lecture that attacked our allies. The speech sent the wrong message and I believe it was enthusiastically greeted in the Kremlin.

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.

I've been to Ukraine many times and appreciate their fight. I had hoped a minerals deal would strengthen our relationship, but after witnessing Zelensky's disrespectful behavior in the Oval Office, I'm unsure if we can continue working with him. His confrontational approach was excessive, and I'm not sure the American people will see him as a good investment anymore. President Trump, however, was in good spirits and proud of JD Vance's stance. Despite the importance of the US-Ukraine relationship, Zelensky's actions in Munich and during the meeting have made it difficult to gain American support. He may need to resign or change his approach for us to move forward. We can discuss security guarantees and ceasefires, but Zelensky needs to be someone we can do business with.

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.

This is a sad day and an embarrassment for the U.S. on the world stage. There's no question this was a setup. Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal that would have sent Ukraine's minerals to the U.S. without security guarantees, all to improve relations with Trump. During the meeting, Vice President Vance confronted Zelensky, which couldn't have happened without Trump's blessing. It was a play to Trump's base and Putin, meant to humiliate Zelensky, but he didn't play along. Zelensky has thanked the U.S. countless times for its support. This was an effort to humiliate him and to scuttle the U.S.-Ukraine relationship so that Trump no longer feels any obligation to provide support and to hand, US interests, and Ukraine and and potentially Europe to Putin on a silver platter.

Okay, here's my perspective from the Oval Office press conference. The President was being very gracious to Zelensky, even when Zelensky was needling him and saying untrue things. Things went off the rails when a Polish journalist asked a question. After the President answered it, I answered it, and something about my answer set Zelensky off. I tried to diffuse the situation and suggested we continue the conversation in private, but the President wanted to have the conversation in public for the American people to see. There was a lack of respect and a sense of entitlement from Zelensky. Ultimately, the President wants the killing to stop, and Zelensky needs to come to the negotiating table. The real breakdown was Zelensky's unwillingness to engage in the peace process, and he wasn't there yet, but I think he'll get there eventually.

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 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.

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.

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.

I met with Zelensky this morning and advised him to stay positive and grateful. We'll discuss security guarantees later, but the meeting was an utter disaster. I'm questioning if Americans can still trust him. After witnessing today's events, most Americans, including myself, wouldn't want to partner with Zelensky, despite my multiple visits to Ukraine. I spoke with President Trump last night, and he was optimistic about the deal. I'm incredibly proud of President Trump for showing the world that he is not to be trifled with. He was positive about getting a ceasefire and ending the war, but Zelensky seemed to want to provoke Trump in the Oval Office. JD did a great job.

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.

President Zelensky was supposedly humiliated by President Trump and Vice President Vance at the White House for disrespecting the American people and acting like a "welfare queen." According to sources, Boris Johnson influenced Zelensky to go to the White House to embarrass Trump and force him to continue funding the war for Europe. Trump supposedly put Zelensky in his place, which was cheered globally. However, Trump is now reportedly asking Zelensky to strike Saint Petersburg and Moscow, with Zelensky agreeing if provided the weapons. There is concern that Trump is now endorsing neocons like Lindsey Graham and potentially pursuing World War Three. One speaker expressed concern that Trump is not the same person he met in 2020 who wanted to pull troops out of Afghanistan. The speaker is now unsure about supporting Trump due to escalating actions that people did not expect or vote for.

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.

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.
