📰 TRUMP CALLS ZELENSKY A ‘SALESMAN,’ SAYS UKRAINE WAR IS A ‘LOSER’ “Zelensky is one of the greatest salesmen I’ve ever seen. Every time he comes in, we give him $100 billion,” Trump said during an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet-David. “But he should never have let that war start. That war is a loser.” The comments come after the September meeting between Trump and Zelensky, their first encounter since 2019. Trump has claimed to solve the war since day one if he wins the presidency of the US in the forthcoming elections.
