Today, a war of words between two supposed allies, President Donald Trump lashing out online against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In a scathing paragraph filled with falsehoods, Trump called the wartime leader a dictator without elections and that “He better move fast, or he is not going to have a country left.”
Elections in Ukraine have been delayed since April of last year due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which enters its fourth year next week. Trump’s comments stirred a global reaction. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is hoping to be reelected this Sunday, said calling Zelenskyy a dictator is — quote — “dangerous and false.”
Trump also accused Zelenskyy of duping the U.S. in descending billions of dollars in military aid.
