Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House was a total disaster, where the European leader tried to use the same playbook, he masterfully used to max out aid with Biden, on President Trump. What occurred was a smackdown of epic proportions. Zelensky was there to sign a minerals deal which was never signed supposedly. Trump booted the man from the White House and canceled the joint press conference.
It would make for an awkward segue into his interview on Fox News last night, which Sarah covered. Yet, one tweet perfectly summed up this media hit, which Marc Thiessen posted:
