The scuffle began following Zelensky’s answer to US Vice President JD Vance comments that Ukraine must agree to U.S. peace terms.
When Zelensky began to respond, Trump said, “You are not allowed to talk.”
Holy shit the sociopathic arrogance of Trump and Vance is horrifying, but this was the cherry on top.
“It’s going to make great television,” Trump said after the argument. The press briefing ended shortly.
“It’s going to make great television,”
I can’t say I’m shocked that these are his personal standards for running the most powerful country in the world in an international setting.
He also called it “doing business”
He’s not a leader of a country clearly. He’s a money-grubber.
Every day I find new reasons for rage
Lmfao what gives the US the right to force a peace agreement upon Ukraine? Get absolutely fucked Vance and Trump. Fucks sake I hate this place…
“Just say thank you.” Good god. I would have loved to see Zelenskyy lay Vance out for that, Buzz Aldrin style. But because he’s a superior human being to everyone else in that room, he did not.
He has said thank you to the people that have actually helped. Vance and Trump have done fuck all to be thanked for.

The only thing Vance is superior than anyone in is his application of fucking eyeliner.
Oh look there’s an adult in the room. Can we keep him?
Who are you referring to?
Zelensky, the adult.
Best not keep him from the war.
I do hope that this results in Europe’s leaders understanding the importance of finding a way to end the Trump regime. But he just seems so entrenched. Roy Cohn taught him well (their reluctance is understandable).
It’s going to be a long road.
That was physically painful to watch. It’s beyond comprehension that snake oil seller became president. TWICE.
Europe, I hope it’s not needed, but prepare as if WWIII is coming. I don’t know if this time US will be an ally or not.
Yeah I literally couldn’t finish it as my blood was boiling. What giant fucking pieces of human garbage both Trump and Vance are.
I refuse to believe the american people will let him sit for four years. It’s just impossible to fathom that a single person can still defend this walking piece of wasted oxygen.
I feel truly sorry for all of you having to live in the US of today. Please don’t give up on your decency, solidarity and humanity.
I’m not an American, but can I ask how they can get rid of him before his four years is up? Is that what impeaching is? Didn’t they already do that last time? Didn’t seem to work…
I’m no expert on american politics, but from what I understand they would need to impeach him or him stepping down due to mounting resistance from the public. Impeachment needs a majority vote (2/3 I think) which won’t happen unless the democrats have enough votes.
Last time they did not.The last seems unlikely, but I do believe most republican reps will change their tune if their constituents threaten their job security.
My reasoning being that they are in it for themselves first and foremost.What confuses us (read: me) in Europe is how much shit they all get away with before voters change their mind. Hopefully more and more americans get fed up with the administration as prices rise and allies choose to look elsewhere for trade and weaponry.
I couldn’t watch it all, trump and vance acted like used car salesman, yelling at someone because they got called out on their fleece and lies.
This whole situation is absolutely fucking mortifying, genuinely. I can’t honestly think of another instance in which we’ve pulled such a rapid, bad-faith, ill-advised, and idiotic about face in terms of foreign policy.
I just hate that his kids will campaign on his effectiveness as a leader in like 8-12 years.
Hopefully, he’ll have hurt and killed enough people that his popularity goes down somewhat. But he’s always gonna have the Nationalist Christians / Dominionists on his side - that needs to be addressed from a societal angle
B-b-but the minerals! Their value might just cover the rebuilding of the critical government functions after DOGE is finished looting it and the world is at war.
I think most of the world would like to send Zelensky a fruit basket with a shit load of long range cruise missiles and FPV drones.

You know… not that you’re wrong… I just think we would all have liked not to have read that last sentence.

Zelensky should be commended for the simple fact that he didn’t punch trump square in the jaw as soon as he was in the same room with him. God knows I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself if I ever had the opportunity.
I was hoping for mineral deal with US to drop in water, because it’s a bad deal for Ukraine and orange bozo Trump thinks he can push around Zelinskyy just because he’s in desperate war and has no choice.
Also to act like a fucking petulent child and behave like total dick at someone who comes asking for help and all you can think about are profits, get your morals fucking right because republican’s moral compass is spinning at fucking 50k RPM.
This lovely little talk did in fact kill the mineral deal.
EDIT: From the article
According to CNN, Zelensky left the White House shortly after and the planned signing of the mineral deal as well as a planned press conference were both cancelled.
“disrespected the the United States of America in the cherished Oval Office.”
He would definitely know.
A shameful day to be an American.
A stupid person( Krasnov Trump ) is the one who boasts he can end a war (not ceasefire) in 24 hours but fails to do it like a loser.
