PALM BEACH — President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance did not plan to tear into Ukrainian President Volodymyr  Zelensky on Friday, senior White House officials told The Daily Wire. Their reactions to the Ukrainian president’s remarks were their genuine responses to Zelensky’s “antics and bad behavior,” a senior White House official said, noting that the incident was not pre-planned. “Absolutely not an ambush or pre-planned,” another senior White House official shared. “We expected a great day, econ deal signing, and demonstration to the world that we are partners” with Ukraine “and leading a movement to peace.” Zelensky came in with “the same nonsense” that the White House had “been dealing with” since Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent went to Kiev, the official added. That official described Zelensky’s behavior as “intransigence” and “a complete missed opportunity” for Ukraine. After the skirmish, the United States officials and the Ukrainian officials went to separate rooms — and shortly after that, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio took a message to the Ukrainians: the meetings of the day were over, and the Ukrainians needed to depart the White House. “Those around Zelensky seemed desperate to try to find a fix, but were told wasn’t gonna happen that day,” the senior White House official explained. The situation unravelled after Vance backed up the president “in a very appropriate way” to a press question, the official said. When Zelensky heard the word “diplomacy,” the Ukrainian president “started a downward spiral of stupid.” That official noted that Vance and Trump are “100% in sync” and that Vance is a “smart fighter and a staunch defender of POTUS.” Washington, DC – February 28 : Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy departs after meeting with President Donald J Trump at the White House on Friday, Feb 28, 2025 in Washington, DC.

He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.” “POTUS and VP were disrespected and right to defend our nation from Zelensky’s stupid attitude that is built on years of Biden simply throwing more and more American money at UKR with no endgame, no path for victory, and no path for peace,” the official argued. “POTUS wants to end a brutal terrible war. It is not at all clear to us what Zelensky wants.” Zelensky, during an interview with Fox News on Friday evening, thanked Trump and the American people for helping to save his country amid its war against Russia. Asked if the United States and Ukraine’s relationship could be salvaged after the meeting, he responded: “Yes, of course, because relations is more than two presidents. The historical relations, strong relations between our people, and that’s why I always begin with to thank your people from our people. And this is the most important.” “And of course, thankful to President and of course Congress, but first of all, to your people,” he continued. “Your people helped to save our people.” “This is very, very important, and we are thankful and sorry for this,” said Zelensky. “I mean this, we wanted very much to have only strong relations, and I very confident, we will have it.” A senior White House official told The Daily Wire that the President of the United States does indeed really want a deal with Ukraine. Trump wants to keep moving Ukraine and Russia “toward peace, to stop the killing, and bring stability to Europe,” the official said.

Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, have arrived in the U.S. after Romanian prosecutors allowed the pair to leave the country, three years after their arrest on allegations of rape, trafficking minors, and money laundering. The brothers flew into Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday night. Aftering arriving in the U.S., Andrew told reporters that he and his brother were simply “misunderstood” and claimed not to have done anything wrong. “I think it’s extremely important that we stop allowing media spin, wrap up smears, lies, or carefully constructed narratives from George Soros-funded operations trying to destroy the reputations of good people who have no intention to do anything other than follow the law,” Andrew said. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) did not share the Tate brother’s sentiment, telling reporters that Florida is “not a place where [they] are welcome.” “There’s a little bit of controversy,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments. “The Trump administration, to some degree, I think, not defended Andrew Tate, but said something, they were trying to help him out in Romania in some capacity.” “People seem, on the conservative side, very reluctant to criticize this guy. Best of my knowledge, the stuff that I’ve seen, the guy’s some sort of pimp and bragged about it. I don’t get how there’s any defense for Andrew Tate just out of his own mouth,” he continues. “His own actions, the stuff that’s caught on film that he’s said and done. He’s some sort of a pimp,” he says. “He’s some sort of spokesman for the manosphere, he's inspiring young men, he's a backlash to feminism, you know, I’m trying to understand it.” “The issue is Andrew Tate represents many of the values that conservatives and Christians and people who have some sort of moral or ethical compass say that we stand against,” Delano Squires tells Whitlock. “He’s sex-crazed, he describes himself as a pimp, he’s talked about how he uses or used, at the point he was speaking, used sex to control women, who would then work for him doing cam work. So, basically, OnlyFans before the company was around,” he continues. “And he talked about how he suckered men out of a lot of money,” he says. “He speaks against traditional values; he’s anti-marriage. When he talks about family, he’s like ‘Look, go to Colombia, go to Thailand, go to some third-world country, second- or third-world country, find you a nice-looking woman, impregnate her, send a few shekels every once in awhile, keep her and the baby alive.’” “So I think he has the makings of someone who is the worst type of person to follow. He’s a tragic mulatto with serious daddy and mommy issues who promotes degeneracy of the highest order,” he adds.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) the other day said what every Democrat truly believes: Your money isn’t yours. In a recent interview, the Texas Democrat dismissed the idea that Americans should keep $5,000 of their own earnings, scoffing, “Americans do not need $5,000.” She went even farther, saying, “We are not in the business of giving out money.”That kind of detached arrogance could only come from a career politician — someone who has never had to budget, sacrifice, or work outside the D.C. bubble. But her words go beyond tone-deaf. They are a direct insult to millions of working-class families for whom $5,000 is not spare change. It can mean the difference between paying rent or facing eviction, keeping food on the table or going hungry, fixing a car or losing a job.For years, Democrats have convinced voters that they are the party of the working class. But the mask is off. They serve elitist grifters, billionaire donors, and government insiders.Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill for Crockett’s $999-a-month luxury car lease. While she enjoys that perk, she tells struggling families that $5,000 is meaningless. Maybe to her, it is. But for most Americans, it’s a lifeline.At a time when inflation and economic uncertainty are squeezing households, she is chauffeured around on the taxpayer's dime, mocking the idea that people should have even a little more breathing room in their bank accounts.And here’s the truth the media won’t say: The Democratic Party serves the wealthy. More than that, Democrats thrive on keeping Americans poor — because poverty means control.Democrats claim to fight for the working class, but their bank accounts tell a different story. Bill and Hillary Clinton entered the White House broke and left worth hundreds of millions. Barack Obama was drowning in student debt before politics; now, he’s buying oceanfront mansions while warning about climate change. Kamala Harris, a career civil servant, is suddenly raking in millions. And then there’s Nancy Pelosi, whose stock trades have outperformed Wall Street’s top investors while she helps shape market-moving legislation.These aren’t public servants. They are parasitic profiteers. The more Americans struggle, the more power — and wealth — they gain.This is why they despise the Department of Government Efficiency. For the first time, someone is exposing how taxpayer money vanishes into slush funds and fraudulent programs, enriching the very politicians who claim to serve the people. Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about cutting off the endless cash flow that keeps these politicians wealthy. That’s why they are in full meltdown mode.Democrats have no interest in fixing this. They rely on a bloated, corrupt, and inefficient system that lets them funnel taxpayer money wherever they want — activist groups, left-wing nonprofits, billionaire donors, and even their own pockets.Meanwhile, Americans foot the bill for their lavish lifestyles.We’re paying for Nancy Pelosi’s luxury travel while she profits from suspicious securities trading. We’re paying for Jasmine Crockett’s $999-a-month car lease. We’re paying for D.C. elites to party while they laugh at our struggles.And they have the nerve to tell you $5,000 is meaningless.Life has only gotten worse under their leadership. Gas prices have doubled since Trump left office in 2021. Food costs are at record highs. Home ownership is out of reach for most young Americans. Yet the same politicians keep voting to raise their own salaries, expand their travel budgets, and fund more luxury perks for themselves.And then they have the audacity to claim that giving you a tax cut, letting you keep more of your money, or making the government less wasteful is somehow dangerous.That’s why they are panicked over the DOGE. Once Americans see how much of their hard-earned money is wasted — once they understand exactly how the system is rigged — the backlash will be unstoppable.Jasmine Crockett didn’t just misspeak. She revealed the Democratic Party’s entire strategy: Keep Americans struggling, keep them dependent, and keep them too poor to fight back. That’s how they stay in power.For years, Democrats have convinced voters that they are the party of the working class. But the mask is off. They serve elitist grifters, billionaire donors, and government insiders who don’t care if you suffer — as long as they keep getting richer.So the next time a Democrat claims he's fighting for “the people,” ask him how much his car lease costs. Ask him how his net worth tripled while in office. Ask him why he is so outraged that Elon Musk is exposing government fraud.Because the answer is simple: Democrats are getting rich from your struggle. And they intend to keep it that way.
