After being told he “should be thanking the president,” Zelenskyy questioned: “Have you ever been to Ukraine? Seen what problems we have? Come once.”
The Ukrainian leader reflects on how “during the war, everyone has problems” and that just because they don’t “feel it now” doesn’t mean they won’t in “the future.”
Trump interrupts, insisting he’s “trying to solve a problem” and asserting that Zelenskyy is in “no position” to tell them “what [they’re] going to feel.”
Raising his voice, he continues: “You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong.
“You’re right now, not in a very good position, you’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad position.”
Trump warns: “You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards … You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people! You’re gambling with World War Three! You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country – this country.”
And it hasn’t taken long for social media users to react.
One Twitter user wrote: “Jesus F**king Christ! Watching Trump yell and demean the Ukrainian President is completely disrespectful. What a disgrace.”
Updates to come.
