'Pathetic and humiliating': MAGA fury erupts as world leaders unite to thwart Trump 'trap'
European world leaders united to announce they would attend a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, leading MAGA supporters to complain online.
Friedrich Merz, Chancellor of Germany, is one of many European leaders who announced they would be accompanying Zelenskyy on a trip to meet Trump. A former Trump insider recently warned that the meeting was a "trap" by Putin and Trump against Zelenskyy.
"Tomorrow I will travel with President Zelenskyy and other European heads of state and government to Washington. We will exchange views with US President Trump on the status of peace efforts, security guarantees, territorial issues, and further support for Ukraine," Merz wrote.
This outraged many MAGA supporters, such as author Hans Mahncke.
"After little Volodymir’s meltdown at the last meeting he is back but this time must be chaperoned by Europe’s regional manager caste. The whole spectacle is so pathetic and humiliating," he wrote.
A conservative Christian account, @LIz77306, complained about the participation of Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission.
"Ursula, Do you think he will be respectful of our @Potus's efforts & extensive hours, planning to make this happen?" the user asked. "Or will he present in his normal T-Shirt attire & flipped, intitled attitude to our country & Chief? To be clear... We are the main catalyst in regards to monetary help & weapons. THIS IS NOT OUR WAR! YET WE/OUR CHIEF IS DIVERTING PRECIOUS TIME TO THIS THAT COULD BE SPENT ON AMERICANS. MAKE THIS HAPPEN & THE KILLING ON BOTH SIDES STOP!"
MAGA commentator Gunther Eagleman said on Sunday, "Zelensky is going to f--- this up, isn’t he?"
An account called Maga Puppy said of the Ukrainian leader's red line on giving land, "I don't think Zelensky had the clout he imagined. Even with US sanctions Russia can really ramp it up and push in even further."
Economics professor Roman Sheremeta had another take, saying, "This is the right move."
"Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top European leaders. His plane has already departed with a stop in Brussels. Media report that NATO Secretary General Rutte, French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, and Finnish President Stubb may also fly to Washington," he wrote Sunday. "More names could be added. A united front. Europe stands with Ukraine."
Akash Maniam chimed in, "Forget cards, Zelenskyy's bringing the whole deck to Washington."
