President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance publicly berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as an ungrateful ally risking global war in its ongoing defense against Russian invaders.

"Zelensky refused to abandon Kyiv, even after other leaders pleaded with him to leave.Trump hid in a bunker when protesters were outside the White House, then claimed he was inspecting the basement 🙄."

The remarkable scene of a vice president injecting himself into a tense diplomatic discussion suggested that JD Vance does not want to be relegated to the B-team of the Trump administration.
