Trump said Zelenskyy was making 'little, nasty aspersions' toward him.
Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event, on Sept. 25, 2024, in Mint Hill, N.C.Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday lashed out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and painted a picture of an "absolutely obliterated" Ukraine as the foreign leader is in the U.S. to present what he calls his "victory plan" to 2024 candidates and President Joe Biden.
Zelenskyy expressed doubt Trump knew how to end the Russia-Ukraine war despite Trump's assertions, without detail or specifics, that the war never would have happened if he were president and he could end it on the first day of his new administration. Trump continued to call Zelenskyy the "greatest salesman on Earth" amid his apparent criticism of the amount of aid the U.S. has given to Ukraine to help the nation fight President Vladimir Putin's forces, and how Zelenskyy has used the aid.
"But we're stuck in that war unless I'm president. I'll get it done. I'll get it negotiated. I'll get out. We got to get out. Biden says we will not leave until we win. What happens if they win? That's what they do, is they fight wars. As somebody told me the other day, they beat Hitler. They beat Napoleon. That's what they do."
