Andy Cohen trolled as he says Volodymyr Zelensky 'ate' Trump and JD Vance up during White House showdown

WASHINGTON, DC: Podcaster Andy Cohen was slammed over social media for his takeaway from the meeting between President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, February 28, reported Whiskey Riff.

The two leaders had a heated interaction in front of the cameras as they sat down in the Oval Office along with Vice President JD Vance. 

Speaking about the Oval Office showdown between Trump and Zelensky, a social media user asked the Bravo celebrity on X (formerly Twitter) if they had just witnessed "The Real Housewives of The World." To which, Cohen replied, "We did... and Zelensky ate them up."

Showdown between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky 

According to Whiskey Riff, the meeting between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was to discuss a potential rare earth mineral deal between the two nations and the security arrangements of the European country amid the ongoing war with Russia.

Things quickly turned south as Trump felt that Zelensky should be more grateful to have the United States as an ally. He pushed him for a peace deal with Russia, threatening that the US would not be backing them if they chose to prolong the war.

"You're gambling with millions of people. You're gambling with World War III," Trump stated at one point. He was backed by Vice President JD Vance, who accused Zelensky of being disrespectful to both them as well as to the United States. 

Zelensky stood on his own. He showed photos of the devastation in his country to Trump and argued that he had thanked America for the support he had received. 

The shouting match continued, with both leaders trying to speak over the other. The meeting eventually ended with Zelensky leaving the White House with no deal.

Later, Trump posted on X that Zelensky was "not ready for peace" at the moment and could return “when he is ready.”

Zelensky, on the other hand, proceeded to thank the United States for its support.
