'Too aggressive': New York Times reports 'outrage' at Trump in place he won overwhelmingly

Donald Trump recently triggered cheers and rage in an area he won overwhelmingly in the election, New York Times reports.

Trump and his Vice President, J.D. Vance, berated the leader of Ukraine in front of reporters in the Oval Office, leading at least one Republican lawmaker to call Trump out.

In New York, an enclave that largely supported Trump in the election was divided, with some expressing "outrage," according to the Saturday report.

"Brighton Beach, a Slavic enclave in Brooklyn where Ukrainians outnumber Russians two to one, voted overwhelmingly for President Trump," the report states. "But the day after Mr. Trump dressed down President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in an explosive meeting at the White House — the latest show of Mr. Trump’s declining support for Ukraine — some Ukrainian New Yorkers were left feeling divided."

Igor Moshchinsky is quoted in the report as saying, "His approach may come across a bit too aggressive." But, he added, "I don’t disagree with the content."

"The local city councilwoman, Inna Vernikov, a Republican and a Trump supporter, tried to thread a needle, writing on social media that the consequences of Friday’s meeting 'could be disastrous' for both countries," according to the article.

“Working together to end this war and help the people of Ukraine restore their safety and sovereignty is in the best interests of both of our countries and the world,” she said, according to the Times.

The report also quotes Ivan Makar, an apparent critic of Trump and the principal of the Self-Reliance Saturday School of Ukrainian Studies on East Sixth Street, as saying, "I’ve never been so disgusted with the president of this country."

“It was typical bully behavior, and Zelensky stood up to the bullies,” Mr. Makar said.
