  1. Zalenskyy is defending his country. Trump should be targeting pootin.

  3. This is perhaps the most disgraceful performance by a sitting American head of state, for shame Mr Trump

  4. One is defending his country, the other one is selling it out

  5. This press conference is unlike any other I’ve ever seen. Insane.

  6. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. How Zelensky doesn’t beat that guy up (and he could) is beyond me, he looked so enraged.

  7. Oh my god this is insane ive never been so glad to NOT be american.

  8. Anyone watching this and thinking this is the guy you want representing a country is ridiculous. He’s acting like a child threatening another nation with WW3 because he didn’t hear a “thank you.” Absolutely disgraceful.

  10. Jesus that was so much worse than I thought it’d be, he’s genuinely bickering with Zelenskyy

  12. Im sure dragging Zelensky in front of the press corp and publically berating him will play well for market confidence.

  13. Zelenskyy is basically having to negotiate with Russian oligarchs in the White House at this point. America is lost

  14. Trump is acting like such a fucking dick. And now he’s going on about Hunter Biden…?!?!

    Reporter: ” what if Putin defies a ceasefire”
    Trump: ” what if anything? What if a bomb falls on your head right now?”

    I’m surprised Trump didn’t have KGB agents at the White House ready to take zelinski into custody.

  15. While your country is being raped and ravaged, you’re supposed to compromise with your attacker?

  16. Who knew ending a war would be more than just spouting nonsense during a presidential debate?

  17. Wow… “This will make for great television.”

    We are doomed.

  19. At one point I thought Zelenskyy was going to hit him

  20. zelensky should just call trump a putin puppet and russian asset

  21. Zelenskyy is a real leader unlike Trump. I feel so bad for Ukraine.

  22. Just a fucking embarrassment. That was hard to watch.

  23. That was like watching a pre school kids argument. I’d be embarrassed if I was American having people like Trump and Vance involved in running the country.

  25. Vance’s insight was “Be thankful”. The other dude is fighting for the lives of his people and you want him to say thanks right now. Like saying that is gonna make it alright!

  27. That segment is insane. Trump and Vance have lost it. The US is not an ally of anyone except Russia. Zelensky is right to point out that they had a cease fire agreement and Russia did not honour it. They also have had other agreements and Russia did not honour them. You CAN NOT negotiate with someone who will not honour their agreements. Just for reference. Trump has a long standing history of not honouring agreements as a businessman and as president. USMCA is a prime example.

  28. I am reading this comment section and I lack the courage to watch the clip. I am also feeling physically ill.

  29. Just one more example of why this jackass should never have been elected . And his supporters say America is respected again, what a joke.

  30. Zelenskyy is a comic who became a leader in an era when politicians became clowns.

  31. This was very, very uncomfortable to watch.

    Absolutely disgraceful demeanor from JD Vance and Trump.

  33. Unbelievable how both Trump & Vance spoke to Zelenskyy, absolutely disgusting.

  34. A big shout out to Mitch McConnell who made this all possible.

  35. Conservatives cheering for Trump and saying Zelensky is the bad guy in all this is utter sheep mentality. How can someone who is helping defend his own country from an invading Putin be the bad guy and the trumpets are hoping he loses.

    Americans need to take a stand against the tyrants sitting running the Whitehouse. There’s been bigger protests for alot less.

  36. Everyday Trump hits a new low.. I have never in my life disliked someone so much.

    I honestly wish all the other countries in the world minus Russia would bond together and stand up to him and cut him out of everything. Every day he threatens countries with tariffs and has PROVEN that contracts or allies mean absolutely nothing to him… fuck trump.

    He thinks he runs the WORLD and him throwing around WW3 and yelling at a president that has been fighting for his peoples life ??? Absolutely sickening 🤢 all of MAGA is fucking disgusting!!

    “What if a bomb falls on your head right now??” “This will make great television,” while Vance laughs?? What in the fuck

    I feel bad for most Americans. I know that they do not all support him.

  37. Some of these quotes are absolutely insane. I cannot believe a sitting US President and Vice President is speaking this way to a leader of a country that was invaded and is trying to defend his people. He certainly has never and will never speak this way to Putin, or any other dictator.

    Moreover, you just kind of have to vomit in your mouth a little bit every time Trump and Vance talk about someone else being “disrespectful”, given that being a fucking asshole is Trump’s entire personality.

  38. As a former Marine, Iraq war vet and someone who was once proud of my country, I’m embarrassed and ashamed that this is what our country has devolved into.

  39. Trump literally just posted on Truth, in short, that Zelensky is too emotional and not ready for a peace deal. Leave it to the United States too abandon its allies time and time again.

  40. “No compromises with a killer”, Zelenskyy is such a badass. I wish we had someone of his character leading the US.

  41. Vance and Trump were pathetic in this meeting.

    No compromise with killers!

  42. Trump and Vance look like dejected morons. OMG embarrassing.

  43. A respectable president sitting next to a senile toddler in a red tie.

  44. That’s a real man talking to an insecure, stuffed cheeto. Trump and Vance weaken the US for generations to come with their f*cking tiny little dicks.

  45. This is exactly what Putin wants, how can they not see that
