President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky exchanged passionate words at the White House on Friday, and it grew more heated.
Here is a record of the entire trade:
Zelensky: After that, he ended this stalemate. He killed our country’s citizens, and he never exchanged captives. We agreed to exchange prison, but he didn’t. What kind of politics, JD, do you have an inquiry about? What did it mean, exactly?
Vance: I’m referring to the kind of politics that will put an end to your nation’s damage.
Zelensky: Well, but —
Vance: Mr. President, Mr. President, with dignity. I believe it rude of you to try to pursue this in front of the British media by entering the Oval Office. You men are currently obliging troops to the front lines because of their labor issues. You ought to be applauding the leader for agreeing to stop this conflict.
Zelensky: Have you ever been to Ukraine? Have you seen the issues we face?
Vance: I have visited —
Zelensky: Only come again.
Vance: I’ve really watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens when you take people on advertising tours, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you have had issues bringing folks into your defense, and do you believe it is polite to visit the Oval Office of the United States of America and criticize the leadership that is attempting to stop your nation from being destroyed?
Zelensky: A lot of issues. Come get things going from there.
Vance: Yes.
Zelensky: First of all, everyone has problems during the war, including you, and you have a wonderful ocean that you don’t currently feel but will experience in the future.
Trump: You are not aware of that.
Zelensky: May God thank you. God’s blessings on you—
Trump: Don’t let us know how we will experience. We’re attempting to resolve a concern. Don’t let us know how we’ll think.
Zelensky: I’m not telling you, I’m no saying—
Trump: Because you can’t impose that. You are not in any position to control how we feel. We’re going to experience fantastic. We’ll feel extremely powerful and fine.
Zelensky: You’re going to experience effect.
Trump: You’re not in a very great position right then. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a terrible position, and he [Vance ] is correct about it.
Zelensky: From the start of the conflict, from the beginning.
Trump: You’re not in a great place. The accounts are not yours at this time. You begin playing accounts with us, but you’re actually playing cards. You are gambling on the lives of tens of thousands of citizens. You’re playing World War III roulette. You’re gambling with World War III, and what you’re doing disrespects the nation, this nation, that has supported you far more than many folks claimed they may.
Vance, have you ever expressed gratitude throughout the whole meeting? No. You campaigned in Pennsylvania for the antagonism in October. Give some appreciation for the president who is attempting to protect your nation.
Zelensky, choose. You believe you can speak out noisily about the battle, if you will.
Trump: He’s never uttering a loud oath. He is never utterly audible. Your nation is in serious problems. Wait a moment; you’ve already done a lot of talking. Your nation is in serious problems.
Zelensky: I am aware, I am aware.
Trump: You’re never winning. You are not winning this, I tell you. You have a very good chance of winning thanks to us.
Zelensky: We are seeing our nation continue to be strong, Mr. President. We have been by ourselves since the start of the war, and we are grateful. Thank you, I said.
Trump: You are not the only one. We gave you$ 350 billion in military products through this foolish leader. Your people are daring, but they must use our defense, too. If you didn’t have our defense products. This war would have ended in two days if you hadn’t had our defense products.
Zelensky: In two weeks, I heard it from Putin. This is a thing —
Trump: Not much.
Zelensky: Well, of training.
Trump: Sure, it’s going to be very difficult to conduct business like this.
Vance, simply state thanks.
Zelensky: I’ve said that before and always.
Vance: Recognize that there are conflicts, and let’s go settle them rather than trying to argue them in the British press when you’re mistaken. We are aware of your error.
Trump: As you can see, I believe it’s beneficial for Americans to be aware of what is happening. It’s really critical, in my opinion. That’s why I persevered for so much. You must get appreciative because you don’t have the accounts.
Zelensky: I’m appreciative.
Trump: You’re interred it. Your persons are euthanizing. You’re running reduced on men, talk, you’re low on men. Then you say,” I don’t want a ceasefire,” and that’s a damn good thing. I don’t need a peace. I want to leave and this, too. Look, I’d advise you to get a peace so that your people don’t fly away and die while you’re at it right now.
Zelensky: Well, of course, but we also want to end the war.
Trump, you’re saying you don’t need a peace, right? Because you can reach a peace more quickly than you can reach an agreement, I want to agreement.
Zelensky: Question our citizens what they think about a ceasefire.
Trump: That wasn’t with me. That wasn’t my fault. That man, [former President Joe ] Biden, who isn’t intelligent, was there for him. That was [folk president Barack ] Obama’s — that was the case.
Zelensky: This is your leader, and it was one of your leaders.
Trump: Please forgive me, it was with Obama who gave you plates and I gave you projectiles.
Zelensky: Yes.

Trump, I gave you the projectiles to destroy all those tank. You received bedding from Obama. In actuality, the speech reads,” Trump gave javelins and Obama gave linens.” You must be more appreciative because, let me tell you, you lack the accounts. You have the accounts with us, but you don’t have any cards without us.
