Donald Trump actually said...

"Zelenskyy is a highly unpopular 'dictator.'"

"I don’t want to show that to anybody, but certainly you wouldn’t show it to a businessman who is helping us so much."

"He’s a great patriot. He’s paying a big price for helping us cut costs, and he’s doing a great job."

"He's there for DOGE, not there for China, and if you ever mentioned China, I think he'd walk out of the room."
