And we both said, listen, if Trump wins, which both of us believed he was going to, Zelensky is going to deeply regret doing so. And what's amazing is he keeps doubling down. I think there's a very good possibility that as I said that Zelensky does not politically survive this, and within days that he's out of office.

I also think, look, it's not complicated that President Trump campaigned on ending the war in Ukraine. This was not a mystery. Every voter who went and voted in November understood that if you elect the Democrats, the Ukraine war goes on and on and on and on, and we keep pouring billions into it forever. And every voter understood if you vote for Donald Trump, this war is going to come to an end.

Now, I think it is important. This is something I have urged President Trump repeatedly. I think it's important that this war come to an end in a way that is a clear and unmistakable loss for Russia, a loss for Putin. I think Russia losing. benefits the national security interests of the United States.

I got to say, by the way, Zelensky's performance was so bad that I think it not only harmed his own country, but I think it harmed world peace. And that's, I cannot imagine the plane flight back right now. No, neither can I. Look, you and I, I assume Zelensky's in the air right now flying back. What I don't know... What is he landing to? Are his advisors sitting there blowing smoke at him?

Oh, wonderful job, Mr. President. You showed him.

I mean, listen, this war needs to end. It needs to end promptly. I believe it is going to end promptly. And as I said, it is important that it end in a way That is a clear, discernible loss for Russia. I also think the direction President Trump was going of signing an agreement where the United States gets significant benefits from rare earth minerals in Ukraine, that has a lot of upside to it.

but not when they have a world leader coming into the Oval Office telling the President of the United States, essentially, screw you. Look, an analogy, if you think about it, there are a lot of small business owners in the room. If your business is in crisis and you're facing a moment where you've got to lay off 1,000 employees, you've got to go under.
