Reactions on social media came pouring in Friday afternoon after President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were involved in a fiery exchange in the Oval Office that turned into a shouting match at points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Finally we have a President who will speak the TRUTH and stand up against Washington\u2019s endless wars. American taxpayers have been funding this war, it\u2019s time to stop the killing and stop risking World War 3!\u2019 GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno\u00a0posted on X after the tense exchange that ultimately resulted in a canceled press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u2018Wow!\u2019 Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk\u00a0posted on X. \u2018President Trump and JD Vance just told Zelenskyy exactly what millions of Americans have wanted to tell him, right to his face. Someone needed to say it.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Zelensky owes America and the President an apology,\u2019 former Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita\u00a0posted on X. \u2018What an absolute dumba\u2013.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Zelensky is doing a serious disservice to the Ukrainian people insulting the American President and the American people \u2013 just to appease Europeans and increase his low polling in Ukraine after he failed miserably to defend his country,\u2019 GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz, who was born in Ukraine, posted on X. \u2018This is not a theater act but a real war!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018America First in action,\u2019 GOP Congressman Brandon Gill\u00a0posted on X. \u2018Thank you, @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance for prioritizing our people first and for promoting peace!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018This full Zelensky interaction is INSANE: He is an emotionally incontinent idiot who dares to lecture and belittle the elected leaders of his total benefactor on OUR SOIL Trump and JD should send him packing with NOTHING,\u2019 Breaking Points co-host Saagar Enjeti posted on X. \u2018Ukrainians should be ashamed to have a leader like this.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Thank you President Trump and VP Vance for standing up for America,\u2019 GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn\u00a0posted on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I am so proud of our Commander-in-Chief,\u2019 DHS Secretary Kristi Noem posted on X. \u2018Thank you President @RealDonaldTrump and @VP for standing up for America. We will not tolerate the political games and disrespect of America. America is back.\u2019<\/p>\n
Democrats on social media took a different tone and strongly criticized Trump over the exchange, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who\u00a0posted on X that Trump and Vance \u2018are doing Putin\u2019s dirty work.\u2019<\/p>\n
The heated exchange in the Oval Office involved the three political leaders going back and forth about the \u2018cards\u2019 Ukraine is holding in the negotiations with Russia and whether Zelenskyy has been grateful to the United States during the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Mr. President, with respect, I think it\u2019s disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media,\u2019 Vance told Zelenskyy. \u2018Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines, because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for bringing it, to bring it into this country.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy later said that under war, \u2018everybody has problems, even you\u2019 and that the U.S. would feel the war \u2018in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018You don\u2019t know that,\u2019 Trump responded as Zelenskyy said \u2018God bless you\u2019 to Trump.<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t tell us what we\u2019re going to feel. We\u2019re trying to solve a problem. Don\u2019t tell us what we\u2019re going to feel,\u2019 Trump continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At one point, Trump pointed at Zelenskyy and told him that what he\u2019s doing is \u2018very disrespectful\u2019 to the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the exchange, it was announced that a scheduled press conference had been canceled, and Zelenskyy was seen briskly leaving the White House with no word on the mineral rights deal that had been expected to be signed on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u2018We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today,\u2019 Trump posted on Truth Social after the meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It\u2019s 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\u2019t 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.\u2019<\/p>\n\n
