MAGA and republicans voted for a person who is un-American and dragging this country down. The felon is so pro Russia and so angry that little Ukraine won’t bow to his wish to hand it to Putin. We have never heard of a president/vice president ever having a shouting match before with world leader
I think felon trump can’t stand Zelenskyy not bending over to him like his republican colleagues do. Felon trump has shown no respect for Zelenskyy or Ukraine and seems to be working for Putin. Ukraine should not give up anything or the free world loses. Our leaders/republicans are an embarrassment
That was despicable no matter how you try to sane wash it. JD is a "bulldog," according to your talent? What is the end game with the corporate takeover of our democracy? Snuggle in bed with Putin?
CNN appears not capable of performing your service in a rigorous manner. Deflating and limp in your manner of equivocating what everyone witnessed. Your fear reeks as you keyboard in your reports to the nation. Inadequate and lacking.
Trump and Vance handle that meeting like a bunch of bullies. They want everyone to bow at their feet. And to threaten WWII, it was such an embarrassment for Trump and Vance to behave in such a way. They have disgraced this country.
Zelensky is going straight home. If it was me I’d have walked out during the Oval Office argument and leave Trump and Vance with their mouths open live on camera.
TRUMP HUMILIATED AMERICA IN FRONT OF THE WORLD
DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF ARROGANCE, BERATING ALLIES FOR A MURDEROUS DICTATOR
AND BEING A NASTY BULLY
DISGRACEFUL!
Trump has been put in his place by 3 world leaders and he can’t take it. He is used not being questioned or corrected by his cult. He is embarrassing himself and the US in the world stage
It's time for President Zelensky to forget about the US and put more pressure on Europe with help for Ukraine. If not, the result will be another bloody war in Europe.
Trumpkin & Vance are DICKS! I really hope the rest of the world comes to the realization that for the next 4yrs, they are on their own as the Reps support America first which means you’re on your own and, MAGA better wise up because they’re next. It’s not America first. It’s always been for the rich
It looks like a planned ambush! Trumps arrogance when he says Zelensky doesn’t show respect. Like he deserves respect after blaming Zelensky for starting the war and called him a dictator.
Your headlines are awful. "President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance act like petulant children towards Ukrainian president Zelenskyy, because they feel obligated to defend the actions of aggressor, Putin."
Heads of state usually meet AFTER the details of an agreement are worked out. This was a trap to embarrass Zelensky and justify Trump switching sides again to Russia.
Why does Trump keep saying the investigation into Russian interference was a hoax? His administration is voting with Russia and North Korea at the UN. It looks like “Russia, Russia, Russia” was correct.
The administration of the USA is the most incompetent in US history. Low life, ignorant, low skilled bigots on deck. Regardless of what any guest/visitor says, a good leader knows how to handle the situation. This team is an abomination who are fascists loyal to INVADER Putin. Get rid of them.
Russia is using North Korean fighters and Trump just ignores it. It has nothing to do with Ukraine it’s a personal dislike and the rest is a cheap reality show by Republicans.
And a debacle because Vance and Trump just had a bone to pick with Biden blamed it on Zelensky, who refused to dig up dirt on Biden or Hunter. It’s so clear but the Republicans although shocked are absolutely terrified of Trump. It’s a complete dictatorship now.
Ive never been more ashamed to be an American than I am right now. For our president, a pathetic excuse for a man, and that scumbag Vance to talk so disrespectfully to a leader fighting for his nation’s survival is just sickening. Shame on all who voted for these weaklings.
The sad thing is, does Trump/Vance's attitude mean that all along they were plotting to enable Putin to grab what they want. Why do the dirty work yourself when you have a puppet to do it for you?
The question now is what the f are we going to Do? This can and should not go on for 4 more years. I am sick of the democrats that let this get this far. Biden Was to weak. Where are the ones with a Plan?
What are you talking about "shouting match" CNN? Don't lie. Zelensky was patient, calm, and a leader, in that exchange. Trump and Vance were immature liars and bullies, and they embarrassed the United States.
No plans. Dems are MIA for now. But I honestly can't blame them. They warned the country of what to expect if Trump won. Half of the country didn't listen.
What can we folks do except protest? Trump is even ignoring judges and their rules right now. Has SCOTUS doing his bidding. Looks to me like our hands are figuratively tied behind our backs right now.
Agreed; Americans with principles need to take to the street and bring the country to a grinding halt. Show the real power is with the people; they are temporarily being given the honour of being allowed to act as 'public servants'
@cnn.com Why can't your news organization spell President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's name correctly? There are 2 "y"s at the end. Please correct this embarrassing oversight.
If #CNN had any self respect they would run a blistering story tomorrow about what a bully and terrible person trump is. Or they can run the real story - trump is a piece of crap
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by these bullies. Americans should be ashamed to call these jackals their leaders. If there was ever any doubt before, honour and integrity are now officially gone from America.
Trump has no interest in making peace. What he should be saying is”come back when your ready to make a deal that makes me look good and puts money in my pocket”
The Republican Party should have a vote of NO CONFIDENCE in their leader. He’s a disgrace to America and a danger to the world.
I blame Vance for the breakdown. He was aggressive from the outset. He's like the little boy who kicks people under the table just to start something. Trump and Zelensky spiraled from there. I'm wondering if that was the plan from the beginning!
If any country needed any further confirmation that the USA is now completely unreliable, this should do it.
This is where they need to put Trump a separate room while the adults work things out, starting with the upcoming G7. Look for many side meetings without the USA.
Intelligence isolation now!
Wrong CNN. It was not ‘remarkable.’ It was embarrassing for America and a pathetic display by Trump and Vance who are Putin’s obvious puppets in the WH…
Trump and Vance should be ashamed of themselves. They're a bloody disgrace and have shamed the American people. If Russia takes Ukraine, we'll be into WW3 and Trump is getting us there. Tzar Trump
They did no “castigating.” They EMBARRASSED the United States of America in front of the entire world doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin. Please stop reporting this as anything but an utter disgrace by this administration.
I am calling my senators this afternoon.
Trump is turning the United States of America
into Putin’s Russia.

Former French President François Hollande said in a recent interview that
President Donald Trump and his administration are "no longer" allies.
The former French leader also accused Trump of "making pacts with our adversaries."
A stronger argument for Europe to stand together is hard to imagine, and less of a friend to Europe! How did #usa manage to elect someone that is both anything but presidential as well illetrrate and ignorants of facts... And who should be important to keep as his / usa's friends???
Shows trump & Vance are Russian puppets for putin.they are the 1s that disrespected America.this shows how they are the worst administration in our history.cant believe how dumb they both are
I’m embarrassed for you having such a train wreck of a President and Vice President. Mind you I’m embarrassed we have Starmer who was kissing his feet politically yesterday.
So hard to do the right thing with the current situation. At least Starmer was trying to do the right thing… Trump & Vance do not even try to keep up the appearance of wanting to do any good. Oh man what will the world look like after 4 more years of Trump?
The both know they're totally unqualified for what they've signed up for, so they start yelling and screaming, to appear tough. America is so fucked, if you sane half doesn't find a way to resolve this.
JD Vance does not have President Trump's best interest in mind. I want him to win the Nobel Peace prize for keeping the peace (+ rooting for him to squeeze our Chinese lithium dependency).
Only way the peace will be kept is through US security guarantees for Ukraine. That is good for 🇺🇸
At this point, Zelensky should never go back to this White House and just forget about the US. America showed their true colors today and they are no longer an ally.
Zelenskyy should not have come to US. T is using Z to make a show of his deal making in front of world press. Chance for T to show Z who's boss. Shameful. Disgusting.
Z should go home tonight. NATO/EU should put serious troops and war machines into Ukraine. Call them "peace keepers." Or whatever.
If Putin wants war, I say give him war. Full NATO war readiness and insertion into Ukraine. NATO actions:
AWACS in the air 24x7
Tankers in the air 24x7
Bombers in the air 24x7
Fighters in the air 24x7
Submarines at DEFCON3
Demand Putin commence withdraw next 72 hours. Else we release the hounds.
Vice President Trump and his cock holster JD Vance just disgrace the American people destroyed over a hundred years of diplomacy All I have to say is f*** both of those c********** right in their f****** face
The Trump administration is a gang of thugs posing as Mafia, bullying the weak and bowing to the strong — a disgrace that will stain American history forever. We stand with #Ukraine
An embarrassing act of arrogance, aggression and ignorance from the so called president of America.. I actually pity the people who thought voting for him would be a good thing ..
The world is now in the hands of three mafia families and their vassals, sad. Apparently the Orange family wants Zelensky to obey and to kiss Trumpet's hand and ring. Nevertheless, I wish strength for Ukraine in the fight against robbers to preserve its independence.
True, but I have to say that I am missing the words that do truthfully describe what happened in the past few hours. I doubt whether I would have the guts to do that in their situation, but I it saddens me to see how far down the path we already seem to be.
Caitlin reported it wrong saying something like it was a yelling match. It’s was a one sided yelling match and Zelensky was NOT yelling. CNN, thanks to Collins, made it sound like the bullying was mutual which it clearly was NOT.
Attacking is not a good a good idea, bit expressing our concerns should be possible. And yes, I can fully inderstand how difficult it is to report neutrally and still choose the words that show the harsh reality.
Trump wanted him to kiss the ring and he refused, that’s why he’s so mad. The orange man cannot stand when he’s not being praised or lavished with gratitude. How is Trump at all deserving if any gratitude? He’s siding with their enemy.
We should all be thanking Zelensky and Ukraine fighting this war - not only for themselves but for the free democratic world. They have my full support!
On court jester JD Vance's clownish attempt to impress his king: JD has always made Trump look bad from the start with his ill-timed interventions and has always been a catalyst for things going viral for the wrong reasons. This time he really went over the top. Such a loser! 😂😂😂
At the White House today, I've never been so proud of Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine right now! Trump is Putin's thug and an arse and does not realize he's in the presence of greatness! 🇺🇦 👊🏼
Dear CNN, did you see the Russian State in that same Press conference?
That's the answer.
It was all a show for the Trumpet's paymasters.
America has been sold. For many rubles.
I hope every single leader saw this in the world, and they all throw themselves behind Zelensky and the Ukrainian people. This was absolutely disgusting and embarrassing for our country that are president and vice president acted that way.
Trump and his mafia style extortion tactics, show what bullying and betrayal at a high school level of execution looks like. Starting today a full BOYCOTT of America until trump is gone! Then we ALL must push for REMOVING the US dollar as the world reserve currency! Assignment understood?
Zelenskyy is also a lawyer. He bearded the lions in the den, and essentially the world got to see and hear firsthand. The US has hung itself in the eyes of the world. Got to see Vance perform as well. He’s a sad pick for VP.
Embarrassing! This televised meeting was a setup. Trump never was going to agree to a deal. They just tricked Zelensky into coming so they could put on this show for Putin and MAGA. Trump has always been in bed with Putin and always will be.
Disgusting!
Zelenskyy just marched out of the WH. ALONE. No Trump. He was done with Trump and Vance. He said he wanted peace but not under Trump's concept. Trump also lied the truth and said of his close relationship to Putin. Vance is just an idiot.
The answer will be mehhhh no thanks. This US administration has bullied and abused Europe, insulted Zelenskyy, scolded him like a child, and tried to extort minerals in exchange for protection.
Time for Europe to unify and tell Trump to take a hike, he can't be trusted.
CNN is evil. There was no hostile exchange. There was no mutual telling match as your journalists say on air. WTF is wrong with you? The yelling and disrespect was ONE SIDED. You heard it like everyone else. You’re disgusting.
The headline CNN would write, if Putin was writing the headlines for CNN....
President Donald Trump writes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "can come back when he's ready for peace" after a hostile Oval Office exchange between the two leaders
Fuck him! Trump and Vance are Monsters! Hope the American People will wake up! They are the ones who insultes this man fighting for his country and freedom of Europe!
Is Trump a new king or a président of a democratic country ? Answering the question is the respond. Am so sad ,but Trump has lost that one, Mr président Zelinsky you are a great poker player. Congrat.
Absolutely disgraceful conduct by Vance and #47! Someone go get your lunatic felon of a uncle and his sidekick the clown! The rest of the world needs to step up and help Ukraine.
This was a setup to make Zelensky look like the bad guy, so Trump can join Putin’s corner without seeming to be the puppet of the Russian dictator. How deep Trump is compromised ?
Vance repeatedly said Zelensky hasn’t said Thank You. I wish he had looked in the camera and said “my people thank the people of the US but not the current dictator”
That was the most disgusting display of arrogance and hubris by JD Vance and Trump to the head of state of Ukraine. Clearly Trump invited Zelensky so that he could humiliate him. Zelensky is clearly past caring about polite diplomacy. Good for him for pushing back, and correcting Trump in public.

Little time left to take action about this dangerous joke in office.
What's the plan?!
When it's gone, it's gone... I'm German, I should know...

Seems like Zelensky decided the place Trump pitched the tent was the place to hold the circus.
She TOLD you so!
