Trump takes Zelensky to task during heated press conference

Ezra Levant reacts to Friday's stunning public confrontation between Zelensky, Trump and Vance as the Ukrainian leader visited the White House.

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky travelled to Washington for a meeting with President Donald Trump this week, only for negotiations to turn sour when the pair, along with Vice-President JD Vance, got into a heated discussion over Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia.

On Friday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra took an in-depth look at this remarkable moment, which saw dramatics play out in front of the public instead of behind closed doors.

“I can only Vladimir Putin and the Russian foreign ministry watching this video just shocked,” remarked Ezra. “Volodymr Zelensky, in the course of 20 minutes, I believe has done more damage to his reputation in the United States, or at least to Republicans — and by the way, right now they control all the branches of the government.”

If Zelensky had been able to avoid an outburst at Trump, he would have seen continued support from the U.S., Ezra added.

“I've just never seen anything like that. And all I've been thinking since I saw that earlier today, was who was speaking in Volodymr Zelensky's ear? Who put him in that frame of mind? Or is that his natural state?”

    What a bozo eruption Zelenskyy made. When negotiating with somebody who has all the cards, it’s thoroughly stupid to bluster and insult that person. People are seeing that the Ukraine war is a lost cause. And Zelenskyy wears military green so he should be on the front line. Of course he thinks he’s too important.

    I will never forget that the war started on my birthday,Feb 24.I was so very dismayed when I read in the Epoch times around April, two months later , Zelenskyy shuttered independent media that were critical of him. Plus, he jailed religious figures, like nuns and priests ! Really, of all the billions that have been funnelled into that money pit,could he not look presentable ? This the largest money laundering scam, I can recall. This war needs to end!
