US President Donald Trump has labeled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a ‘modestly successful comedian’ and ‘terrible’ leader who convinced America to spend billions on the war with Russia.
Trump said Zelensky ‘talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won’.
‘The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back,’ Trump continued.
‘Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.’
He blasted Zelensky in a Truth Social post that he also shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, a day after US and Russian officials left Zelensky out of peace negotiations in Saudi Arabia.
‘In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do,’ the US president wrote.
‘Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going.’
Trump said that ‘the only thing’ Zelensky was good at was ‘playing Biden “like a fiddle.”‘
Russia in February 2022 launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and demanded that the smaller country be banned from joining NATO.
Trump on Tuesday said Zelensky ‘should have never started’ the war.
Zelensky responded that Trump ‘lives in this disinformation space’.
Trump in his social media post also claimed that Zelensky ‘admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING”‘ and that he refuses to have elections in his country and is polling low.
‘I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues…..’ Trump concluded.
