TOMI LAHREN (OUTKICK HOST): I think President Trump was rightfully insulted by the way President Zelensky has been acting and acting for years now. Don't bite the hand that feeds you is essentially what I got out of all of that. Trump repeatedly said, "you don't have the cards, you don't have the cards." It was like a father swatting down their toddler who repeatedly has their hand out asking for allowance, but doesn't want to mow the lawn. What he is saying is, we want to help you, but the way that you have paraded yourself in front of media for years, Hollywood audiences, in the fanfare on Vogue covers. The way that you have the sense of entitlement as you ask us for money and guarantees. Now I'm trying to give you a deal that is good for my people and good for your people, and you're disrespectful. And so, whereas you didn't like the exchange, I loved it. Because that told me America is back. This is the president of the United States of America, and he's going to act like it. And repeatedly through there, it seemed as though Zelensky had his arms crossed like a toddler. You're not going to act like that with President Trump. Maybe a President Biden, but not this administration, and not with this country. I loved watching this play out in front of us.
