Trump unleashes unhinged tirade against 'dictator' Zelensky, claiming Ukraine only went to war to get US money [View all]
Source: Independent
President Donald Trump on Wednesday appeared to throw America’s lot completely in with Russian president Vladimir Putin in the three-year-old war the Russian leader started against Ukraine by issuing a bizarre social media threat against Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and accusing him of continuing war against Moscow as a way to soak American taxpayers.
In a post on his Truth Social website, Trump accused Zelensky, who he called a “modestly successful comedian” in a reference to his previous career as a sitcom star and entertainer, of having “talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start.”
He also claimed Zelensky — who recent opinion polls show as holding support from a majority of Ukrainians — “refuses to have Elections” and falsely accused the Ukrainian leader of being “very low” in polls while accusing him of having “played” former president Joe Biden “like a fiddle” for military assistance funds approved by the U.S. Congress over the last three years.
“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,” Trump wrote.
