The White House charges anti-Trump bias
White House Press Director Karoline Leavitt talks about “Mediabuzz,” including the efforts of Oval Office Fallout, Elon Musk and Doge, and changes to the White House press pool.
Most of the media has condemned Donald Trump's shocking screaming match, which led to him kicking Volodyme Zelensky from the White House.
As a result, these journalists and commentators place ties between Ukraine and the United States on life support as people continue to fight and die in the invasions launched by Russia, despite Trump continuing to promote good relations with Vladimir Putin. It was Russia, not Ukraine, the leader of the Kremlin, a dictator rather than Zelensky, and as Trump knows well, it was Russia, not Ukraine, that started the war to bring that little neighbor back to Soviet satellite status.
There is no doubt that Trump, who thrusts out at JD Vance, lost his temper in the oval office, derailed the meeting and left a lunch that the team had been prepared for staff to eat.
But Trump also cites the fairness that he cannot make a deal with Russia if he is constantly attacking its leader (he clearly didn't have a tendency to do so given their history, including the Helsinki Samit).

At the same time, Zelenskyy was justified by seeking security guarantees, and said Putin had a history of violating the agreement, from the Crimean invasion in 2014 to the brutal war that it began three years ago, including the deliberate targeting of civilians.
But Zelenskyy had one job. It involves managing a meeting with Trump and signing the expected rare minerals agreement. And he completely failed. He took the food. And while he may have gained sympathy, Britain and France have accepted him and promised to send peacekeepers after the reconciliation, the Ukrainian leader may have irreparably hurt his ties with Trump.

The president is dull, saying that without US aid, Zelensky doesn't have the “cards” to play, but he's right.
I interviewed Donald Trump's Press Secretary, Caroline Leavitt, and the “MediaBuzz” leading the White House fireworks. She is very skilled at pushing back.

She said that Zelenkie was “hostile and frankly, he was rude. He chose to fight the US vice president.” (That was a bit the other way around.) “He repeatedly suspended President Trump.” (That's true.
“President Zelensky doesn't even agree to a ceasefire. If you want to end the war, why can't you agree to stop the battle?

Well, Zelensky doesn't trust Trump. Because he believes that a ceasefire will lock in the interests of Russian territory from invasion. But what options does he have?
What surprised me the most is that if this meltdown was held closed room, it is impossible to imagine that this meltdown had happened if it was a normal venue for sealing. Just like it supports journalistic access, it is a 40-minute reporting question that frames the dialogue.
So, he had a public meeting despite Trump having finished things by pronounced it “great TV.”
“President Trump is the most transparent president in history,” she replied. “And, like he said, we were able to see what we saw behind the scenes when the Americans and the world negotiated with President Zelenkie's team, so it was great to see the cameras there.”
As Trump said, will Zelensky return to the White House when he is ready to create peace? Who knows at this point? But that's a big setback.

David Sanger, a veteran diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times, is the most pervasive Big icture take.
What the president hopes is “normalizing relations with Russia,” which means rewriting the history of Moscow's illegal aggression three years ago, stop investigating Russia's war crimes, and refuse to provide long-term security assurances for Ukraine.
Sanger suggests that Trump, a constant critic of NATO, is away from the Atlantic Alliance, which has thrived for 80 years.
The president “does not keep his view that the post-World War II system created by Washington has left America's power.”
“Such systems have made smaller, less powerful countries take advantage of the US, and Americans have picked up too many tabs to protect their allies and promote their prosperity.”
“His predecessor (both Democrats and Republicans) insisted that the European and Asian alliance was a multiplier of America's largest forces, maintaining peace and prospering trade, but Trump saw them as bleeding wounds.”

See, Trump ran as America's first candidate to keep us out of the war. Many Americans, particularly Republicans, have lost their patience with US aid to Ukraine when their money can be spent at home. Add that aid is close to the $3500 billion Trump continues to claim.
The rare mineral trade would have at least given the US an economic incentive that continued to support Ukraine and partially paid our country for its generosity.
But in my opinion there is a much stronger debate to support Ukraine. If Putin succeeded in demolishing parts of the country, he would have been rewarded with illegal invasions and the launch of wild barrage practices of intentionally bombing apartments and railway stations.

And does anyone seriously believe he will stop there? Isn't it very likely that Putin will attack another neighboring country?
Trump's approach may be popular to collaborate with Russia at the expense of Europe. But if he supports that plan, the White House cry may be remembered as a turning point in the Old World Order.
footnote: Zelensky said something ridiculously stupid yesterday that proved Trump's stance was not ready to reach a reconciliation with Russia. Zelenskyy predicted the end of the war would be “still very, very far away,” the AP reports.
The president quickly approached a society of truth. “This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America won't hold it in for much longer! … What are they thinking?” And Trump later told reporters:
What are they thinking? There are no clues. This is clearly self-destructive.
