Conservatives Are Not Holding Back Their Reactions To Trump's Heated Argument With Zelensky In The Oval Office

Last edited Sun Mar 2, 2025, 09:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Last week's volatile exchange in the Oval Office between President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky sent the world into a tailspin as the three leaders loudly argued over the US's support for Ukraine for over ten minutes before the press.

The unprecedented meeting went mega-viral and has been described by many as "shameful," "disgusting," and a "disgrace."

The meeting was so bad that Trump canceled the scheduled news conference with Zelensky, who was then asked to leave the White House early.

Conservatives (many who claim to have voted for Trump) are not holding back their frustrations about the whole debacle and how Trump is treating Ukraine. Here's what they're saying over on the r/LeopardsAteMyFace and r/Conservative subreddits:

1.This person called themselves an "avid trump supporter," but felt Trump went too far during the Oval Office meeting.

I apologize, I can't figure out how to post these images.

Lisa Murkowski's statement was a major step forward.

Sorry, I don't know how to post images either.

Yep the concern lady.

I'm still not sure about Lisa Murkowski. Worried about backsliding.

You can select 'Post by URL' or something like that. This will accepts those non-links to images.

in that White House event. He cares only about getting money from Ukraine not about freedom, and probably about getting a Nobel Peace Prize. The freedom-loving conservatives that have been strong advocates of the US as an inspiration to the world have been vanquished by Trump. There used to be a bipartisan consensus on supporting freedom and self-determination-- but the GOP seems to be following Trump away.

"...the three leaders loudly argued..."

No, they didn't. Trump and Vance ambushed and bullied Zelensky, talking over him and raising their voices, making threats and acting in a menacing manner. The three leaders did not argue loudly.

(Tech note for anyone else stumped by MSN pic URLs: I opened each image in a new tab and stripped out the extra crap at the end of the URL. That left an image URL with a .img suffix. I've found that DU's software is quite flexible about image suffixes, so I just changed them to .jpg.)

And way too much respect for Trump. Because in no way was anyone not completely in fatansyland not seeing Trump as anything but a weak leader that has no love of democracy or freedom.

They’re surprised!

Are these republicans trying to fool themselves, because we’re not believing any of there regrets now.

They knew since 2016, that the Felon was a rat, traitor, and crook.

So they’re shocked and angry. Too late, pal. You did this to our country and I hold you responsible.

“Oh I thought it was terrible under the calamitous Biden admin” and “hey we voted against Cuba” are just terrible indictments of the education and media in the US.

How could anyone, let alone so many, be so misled??
