Video: Can Zelenskyy Patch Things Up? Trump’s Answer Leaves No Doubt!
President Donald Trump delivered a crystal-clear message Monday afternoon from the White House during an event celebrating a new technology investment in America, leaving no room for misinterpretation about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s path back to the table. When pressed by reporters on what Zelenskyy must do to reopen direct talks to end Russia’s invasion, Trump’s response—captured in a video shared by Townhall.com on X —was as firm as it was revealing. While the exact words weren’t transcribed due to access limits, the context screams Trump’s stance: Zelenskyy’s got to prove he’s serious about peace, not leverage.

This comes hot on the heels of a disastrous Oval Office meeting Friday, where a 40-minute showdown in front of the cameras went off the rails, prompting Trump to eject Zelenskyy. In a Truth Social statement, Trump laid it bare: “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.” That blunt assessment, echoed in a second Townhall.com post on X (here), sets the stage for Tuesday’s joint address to Congress, where Trump will update the stalled mineral deal meant to be signed Friday.
With the Trump administration now mulling a pause on all Ukraine aid, this video moment underscores a hard truth: Trump’s prioritizing peace over Zelenskyy’s games. For Trump supporters, it’s a win—America won’t be played, and Zelenskyy’s next move will define his future. Check the clips yourself; the message is unmistakable.
I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
My Thoughts are this, I’m Sick and Tired of Americans being Treated Like Crap by the Rest of the World. I’m Tired of them Expecting Americans to Work Themselves to Death to Pay for Problems They Could Handle Themselves. All While they Spit in Our Faces and Walk all Over Americans like a Carpet, Who in the Hell do these Ungrateful Wretches Feel they are? While THEY Spend THEIR Time and Energy Going on a Vacation, Being on Vacation, or Planning their Next Vacation. They Expect us to Come Running and Not Only Pay for Their Self Created Problems, but Fix Their Self Created Problems for Them. They Spend Most of Their Time Blaming Us for the Worlds Problems while they Degenerate into the NAZI’s that We Helped Liberate Them From. That Goes For England, and Europe. Americans are Fed up to the Eyeballs and ready to tell the Rest of the World To Bugger Off. YOU Need us more than We Need YOU, Either Get you Minds Right or Find Yourselves Alone. We’ve Had enough of your Ungrateful Attitude and your Arrogance.
Zelenskyy’s entire demeaner when he showed up was one of complete disrespect for President Trump and America. His arrogance was on complete display from the moment he arrived for his meeting with the president. He didn’t even wear a suit, but something that looked like a jogging outfit and right off the bat insulted VP Vance, who showed remarkable restraint in his response. Then Zelenskyy tried to insult Mr. Trump by demanding additional support for his global money laundering scheme and by insinuating that he didn’t know anything about the war. So, yeah, the little pr*ck completely deserved a public b*tch-slap and dismissal from the meeting.
