MTG Praises White House For Putting Zelensky In His Place, Says Trump, Vance Are ‘Exactly What American Leadership Should Look Like’ (Video)

There were strident words in the Oval Office Friday when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The upshot was that Zelensky got scolded for his entitled attitude toward the United States, which has sent his country hundreds of billions of dollars to fight a war with Russia, even has the U.S. is working with him, and Russian President Vladimir Putin on a way to end the bloodshed.

Essentially, Zelensky was spanked.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., praised the White House.

“President Trump and Vice President Vance will put America First every single time,” she said. “Putting Zelensky in his place while he disrespects the U.S. in the Oval Office is exactly what American leadership should look like.”

Substack author Nick Adams joined Greene’s endorsement, with, “Someday, when I’m old and gray and someone walks up to me on the tennis court or golf course and says, ‘Mr. Adams, what is it like when a strong leader stands up for his country for the whole world to see?’, I will point him to the video of President Trump and Vice President Vance giving Ukraine’s President Zelensky the stern talk that he should have received many years and billions of dollars ago.”

He said, “The terrible tragedy of the Ukraine war is that billions of dollars have not just been wasted, but they have been spent on a war of attrition that has done nothing but kill young men whose futures now lie in pools of blood in the World War One style trenches of Ukraine. President Trump invited Zelensky to the White House to talk peace, but instead Zelensky came to grandstand. He wants money, he wants power, but he self-evidently did not want peace.”

And he said, “Gone are the days when such a performance would result in the stupidest president in American history, Joe Biden, cutting a check. Instead, President Trump called Zelensky out on his ingratitude, his resistance to peace, and the arrogance that could lead us to a third world war.”

Trump’s invitation had gone out to Zelensky even though Zelensky campaigned last fall for Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ failed 2024 presidential nominee.

He said, “War is hell and it takes a real man with a strong mind to avoid it when possible and wage it swiftly and conclusively when it is unavoidable. Today, President Trump demonstrated what his motto of ‘peace through strength’ is all about. He made it clear that America is no longer going to function as a limitless trust fund for Zelensky, nor will we be dragged into an arrangement that prolongs the killing.”

Trump, for his part, said Zelensky could return “when he is ready for peace.”

Part of the confrontation:

Social media pointed out that, “Zelensky just got spanked and humiliated in front of the entire world.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham said, most Americans now would not want Zelensky to be their business partners.

“I never been more proud of President Trump for showing the American people and the world you don’t trifle with this man.”

The ramifications started immediately, with a report that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was terminating U.S. support for the work restoring Ukraine’s energy grid immediately.

There had been predicted a deal that would give America access to some of the rare earth minerals that could be mined in Ukraine, but Zelensky came in with additional demands, including for troops.

Trump’s actions were endorsed by Hungarian officials;

Other comments:

From Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: “Amen, Mr. President.”

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent: “Thank you, President Trump, for standing up for the American people and our nation on the global stage.”

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner: “President Trump is standing up for forgotten Americans, not endless foreign wars. Biden’s legacy — increased homelessness, record high interest rates, all-time highs to buy a house, and Americans footing the bill. That ended January 20th. The American people are behind @POTUS.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “Thank you President Trump and VP Vance or standing up for America.”

Sen. Bill Hagerty: “The United States of America will no longer be taken for granted. The contrast between the last four years and now could not be more clear. Thank you, Mr. President.”

Sen. Josh Hawley: “Remember: the U.S. Senate has repeatedly and for years voted BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine with no strings attached and with no true oversight. It’s time for some ACCOUNTABILITY.”

Majority Leader Steve Scalise: “President Trump is fighting for PEACE around the world and is putting America First as our best negotiator—he’s the only one to get Russia to the table to consider a serious and lasting peace agreement with Ukraine.”
