Trump blames Biden, mocks Zelensky amidst war in ukraine
– Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before, – stated Donald Trump during a rally in North Carolina. Trump also announced that, in his opinion, due to the USA's support for Kyiv, "Ukraine is gone. It's not Ukraine anymore," and then once again mockingly called the Ukrainian president "the greatest salesman on Earth."
– Biden and Kamala got us into this war in Ukraine, and now they can’t get us out – continued Donald Trump. – There is really nothing for the Ukrainian people to move back to. And it didn't need to happen. Those buildings are down. Those cities are gone. They're gone and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal, Zelenskyy – said Trump during a rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina.
The former president stated that Biden could allegedly have reached an agreement with Vladimir Putin before his aggression, as a result of which "there wouldn’t have been one person that died, and there wouldn’t have been one golden tower laying shattered on its side."
– An agreement could have been reached if we had a competent president, not a president who suffered from everything. Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelensky money and munitions like no country has ever seen before – said Trump, once again mockingly calling the Ukrainian president "the greatest salesman on Earth". – The country is in rubble – he added.
– The president of Ukraine is in our country. He is making little nasty aspersions toward your favourite president, me – said Donald Trump, addressing his supporters.
Zelensky criticized trump
Trump's words on Wednesday were the harshest he has ever used to describe the war in Ukraine and criticise both the current administration and the Ukrainian president. His statement came on the day when Trump was originally scheduled to meet Zelensky in New York; however, the meeting was ultimately cancelled.
The cancellation of the meeting is partly a result of the controversies that Zelensky sparked with his comments to the "New Yorker," where he criticised both Trump and his vice-presidential candidate, Senator JD Vance, whom he called "too radical" regarding the plan he proposed to end the war in Ukraine by instituting a ceasefire along the current front lines. Zelensky also said that Trump "doesn't really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how."
