Trump vs. Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy entered the White House and sat down with President Donald Trump (R) and Vice President JD Vance (R) as negotiations between the United States and Russia to possibly end the war carry on.

During the exchange, President Trump and Vice President Vance both described President Zelenskyy as "disrespectful" to the American people and the Oval Office, with Vance accusing Zelenskyy of attempting to "litigate" his case in front of the American media.

Senator Mark Kelly: What we saw on Friday in the Oval Office was a dumpster fire in terms of diplomacy. I bet Vladimir Putin couldn’t be happier.

Senator Ruben Gallego: As a Marine, I know that service doesn’t end when you take off the uniform. Grateful to the @AmericanLegion for stopping by my office this week to talk about how we can continue fighting for our veterans.

Representative Eli Crane: For the last four years, radical democrats knowingly embraced and covered for policies that led to a historic crisis at our border. They can never again be trusted to handle this issue.

Representative Abe Hamadeh: President Trump understands that victory, not virtue signaling, is the priority, By removing DEI and refocusing on warfighting, we are ensuring that our troops are prepared, our adversaries are deterred, and America remains strong.

State Senator Anthony Kern: R.I.P. Officer Jesse Rodriguez. Prayers for your family and @GlendaleAZPD

State Senator Michael Carbone: Arizona families deserve a government that spends wisely. I'll work hard to protect taxpayer dollars and keep our state financially strong. carboneforaz.com #LD25 #AZstatehouse #majorityleader #repcarbone #carboneforAZ

State Representative Selina Bliss: Appreciated the AZ Federation of Republican Women visiting the Capitol for the annual AZFRW Legislative Day. From LD1 were @RWofPrescott, Prescott Valley Republican Women, and @Arizona_YCRW No doubt that we are well represented!

Maricopa County Supervisor Debbie Lesko: President @realDonaldTrump has had a fantastic first month in office! I appreciate that he has wasted no time in keeping his promises to our citizens. This nation will prosper yet again because of his efforts to make America great again!
