'Almost burst out laughing': MS NOW hosts crack up at Zelenskyy's reaction to Trump boast
Donald Trump’s boast that Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is very invested in seeing Ukraine “succeed” got a big laugh as the host of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” noted that Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy appeared as amused at the time as they were on Monday morning.
Trump’s comment was roundly roasted on social media on Sunday and hosts Jonathan Lemire and Katty Kay joined in on the fun.
“Let’s just take that comment there from President Trump,” Lemire began before smirking and stating, “No, I don’t think Russian President Vladimir Putin is invested in Ukraine’s success — he’s the one who invaded in the first place.”
Laughing as he continued, he remarked, “He’s the one still with aims to conquer it and, I don’t know if we have the footage or not, but there is, as Trump was saying, there was a cutaway shot of Zelenskyy’s reaction, and he almost burst out laughing. He just couldn’t believe what he was hearing.”
After Kay suggested Zelenskyy doing his best to play the part of a diplomat, the bemused commentator added, “I don’t know what he means when he says that Russia is very keen for Ukraine to succeed, unless Russia is keen for Ukraine to succeed under Russia’s control, which is the way that Vladimir Putin would like it to be.”
