Ukrainian President Humiliates Trump By Telling Him To Put Up Or Shut Up - Farron Balanced

Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he could end the Russia - Ukraine conflict in about 24 hours, and now Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling him out. Zelensky said to the press this week that Trump needs to go ahead and release his peace plan so that the fighting can end, knowing full well that Trump doesn't have any plans in his empty head. Zelensky's comments highlight Trump's complete lack of knowledge about foreign affairs and his incompetence as President, as Farron Cousins explains.

Ukrainian President v uh, uh, I don't know how to say his first name. Uh, Vold Deme Zelensky 3 2 1. Ukrainian President, Vold Mer Zelensky actually appeared on C N N this week where he employed Donald Trump to please for the love of God, this awesome plan that you keep bragging about, where you say that you could solve the Russia, Ukraine conflict in less than 24 hours. Zelensky said quote, he can publicly share his idea now, not waste time, not lose people. So the former president of the United States, who is currently the huge front runner in the Republican race right now, the primary is getting called out by a foreign leader because he swears he has a plan to end this in 24 hours. But we, the public don't get to know that. Ukraine doesn't get to know it. Russia doesn't get to know it unless Donald Trump becomes president.

He can end the bloodshed by tomorrow, but he's not gonna do it because he has to be president and he's not gonna tell us how. And that's what Zelensky is calling out. And Zelensky is right to call that out. And I'm kind of shocked that reporters who Trump has said this to have not called him out for it. But I think the reason obviously, that Donald Trump has not been called out by the press here in the United States is because we all know what his plan is to end this. It is to give every single part of Ukraine that Russia wants to Vladimir Putin. Okay? You want these two regions, boom, done. You know what I'm gonna throw in a third region just because I can. That's what Donald Trump would do. That is his plan to surrender the Ukraine, a sovereign nation, to a blood thirsty dictator that's ruling Russia with an iron fist.

And if you don't believe me that Vladimir Putin is ruling Russia with an iron fist, how about you go over to Russia, say something bad about him, and see how quickly we read in the news that you have suddenly fallen out of a window? Go ahead and try that and see how that works out for you. But here's the deal. Zelensky is not only pointing out that Trump's plan, and he does mention that Trump's plan is, you know, basically give up Ukraine to Putin, which no, that's, that's not a plan at all. That is a surrender for a dictator who invaded a sovereign country. Russia is the aggressor. Russia brought this on themselves selves. But Zelensky is also, whether he meant to or not, pointing out the fact that Donald Trump doesn't have a foreign policy. Donald Trump's only foreign policy is to appease dictators. That's why he met with Putin. That's why he went and met with Kim Jong-Un and talked about the beautiful real estate in North Korea. He loves people that have absolute power because that is what he wants here

In the United States for himself. That's why he gravitated to Putin. That's why he gravitated to Kim in North Korea. That's why he loves Saudi Arabia, right? They rule with an iron fist, but for some reason, because they buy a lot of weapons and they give us some oil every now and then, we can't break off that relationship, even though they're one of the biggest human rights abusers in the on the planet. But I like that Zelensky is doing this. I like that Trump is being called out because the public, you know, Trump this week, by the way, a 47 point gap between him and his nearest Republican opponent. So he's got the Republican nomination on lockdown and Zelensky comments here remind us that this guy has no foreign policy. His foreign policy during his time in the White House was horrific. He cozied up to dictators and he alienated our friends in nato.

He alienated our other allies over in Europe. He doesn't like people from democracies. He doesn't like people that don't have absolute power over their country. This is not the kind of man we ever want back into the White House. I mean, forget how horrific his domestic policy is because that's a mess too. But his foreign policy not only put the United States in jeopardy, but it put all of our allies in jeopardy as well. And that's what we could be facing if that man ever gets back into the White House. And that, I think is probably the biggest point that Zelensky was makin
