Footage from the White House has revealed US President Donald Trump raising his voice at Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
US President Donald Trump and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met at the White House's Oval Office in Washington DC, earlier today (February 28).




The pair sat down alongside US Vice President JD Vance who proceeded to accuse Zelenskyy of being disrespectful towards both the US and President Trump.
After being told by Vance he 'should be thanking the president', Zelenskyy questioned: "Have you ever been to Ukraine? Seen what problems we have? Come once."
The Ukrainian president reflects on how 'during the war, everyone has problems' and just because they don't 'feel it now' doesn't mean they won't in 'the future'.
Trump then butts in, arguing he's 'trying to solve a problem' and saying Zelenskyy is in 'no position' to tell them 'what [they're] going to feel'.
Raising his voice, he continued: "You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good. We're going to feel very good and very strong. You're right now, not in a very good position, you've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position."
Trump warned: "You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards ... You're gambling with the lives of millions of people! You're gambling with World War Three! You're gambling with World War III. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country - this country."
And it's not taken long for social media users to weigh in.

One Twitter user said: "Jesus F**king Christ! Watching Trump yell and demean the Ukrainian President is completely disrespectful. What a disgrace."
Another added: "This is wild."
A third resolved: "Embarrassing."
Trump's accusation of Zelenskyy 'gambling with WW3' follows similar warnings he made on February 19 at the Future Investment Initiative Institute Priority Summit held in Miami.

One Twitter user called it 'embarrassing' (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)
Trump said, as quoted by NDTV World: "Around the world, I'm moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts and restore the planet to peace - I want peace, and I don't want to see [...] everybody being killed.
"And take a look at the death in the Middle East, and the death that's taking place between Russia and Ukraine that's been going on, and we're going to end it. There's no profit for anyone in having World War III, and you're not so far away from it, I'll tell you right now, you're not so far away."

This is embarrassing Trump talking to Zelensky as just a man in the street. He is just defending his country. How horrific...

My blood is boiling at the behaviour of Trump and Vance. Its time to stop giving this disgusting adminstration any airtime. How any country or politician can sit with these people and give them any respect, grace or trust is beyond me

It is clear that Zelensky is making a herculean effort not to take his head off.

I recognize that look. In others and in the mirror.

Absolutely disgraceful way to treat President Zelensky and he had the audacity to say he was being disrespectful to the States!

That was a calculated ambush by Vance and Trump.

Putin will have something on Trump. Shocking bullying in front of the press. Very unprofessional

Disgraceful performance by the ‘leader’ of the free world, undignified to say the very least. Zelensky deserved a respectful meeting, he is after all a democratically elected leader of a sovereign country

Trump and Vance are roughly the same sized asshole.

Imagine getting invaded and being blamed for it lol .. kinda like when a robber breaks into your house and it’s your fault

You want him to suck trumps dick?
Although it would be pretty hard with Vance surgically attached to it

This is all bluster. Drumpf wants to appear big and bad in front of his maga loyalists. This man is a disgrace to the united states.

He just got loud in front of the camera to get the wow factor. He even said after his shameless tirade that this is going to make great TV, smh.

 

[tanks1]

damn, I thought this was some a.i. skit....Europe will have to fight alone....

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Damn, this didn't look like a genuine attempt to make a deal but more as a show of public humiliation. I think they want to back out of the conflict rather than get the deal done. Their approach was too disrespectful.

Who's surprised that he tantrums, yells and threatens. He's literally a toddler just learning how to navigate socially..... But really not learning and he's 78 yrs old.

Zelensky was completely ambushed. An absolute disgrace. Wasn't given a chance to speak and at one stage Trump put his hands upon him and pushed him. The whole world watches on in disgust. He's dangerous, greedy and out of control

Austin Hughes
So because his country got invaded and he is trying to protect his people, he then becomes the one at fault for gambling with WW3 and not Russia? Make it make sense

Trump would never speak to Putin that way.

Drumpf is aligned with what's good for the world, but you withdraw from NATO?

You tell our allies that if you don't pay a fair share to NATO (read back to the US) then we're not going to help you.

J.D Vance: "Have you said thank you once?"

"Thank you" for talking down to me, or telling me that I need to talk nice to you if I want the US to continue to help me?

Zelensky thanked the US people, you know the taxpayers that are actually footing the bill
..... but no, that's not good enough, he needs to stroke Drumpf's ego. "You're not thankful enough."

Do you want him to be your bottom bitch or something? That's a man, fighting for his country and standing his ground against a narcissistic manchild and his groveling bootlicking manbitch.

"Putin went through a lot with me."..... no he didn't he walked all over you. He parades your wife's naked pictures on the state TV news and you did/ do nothing about it. Why, because he knows Drumpf's secrets and pulls your damn strings just like Elon

I've said this forever...

Putin has some goods on orange turd!

Drumpf singlehandedly fucks up EVERYTHING he's touched, his whole pitiful life.Smh.

The US hasn't given his country a lot of bread. They sent a lot of weapons and ammunition to his country. The bread is in the pockets of American companies.

Trump is just another sleaze ball low budget "businessman". He didn't even right the Art of the Deal.
The man doesn't know how to make a deal. Instead he tries to bully people and steal from them. He's asking that man to give up his country's mineral rights while getting no guarantee for protection. Trump is just a profiteering petty thief.

There’s really no deal to be made here….

Give us half, or risk losing it all without our help.

Not to mention the underhanded secret sanctions that we’ll implement to make sure we handicap you.

Trump wins whether the US or Putin ends up w the precious metals.

Zelenskys only play here might be the Kung flu country…and that’ll be all types of bad.

Carry on…….

If we dont protect Ukraine and allow Russia to commandeer the resources from Ukraine then what? We are screwed either way. He needs to stop the bullshit show.
