Fox News Star Taunts Trump Over His Claim About Zelenskyy

 President Donald Trump on Monday for previously telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he had no cards to play against Russia.

A recent Ukrainian drone attack that’s been called “Russia’s Pearl Harbor” penetrated deep into the aggressing nation and destroyed a chunk of President Vladimir Putin’s air arsenal.

Shannon Bream asked the conservative channel’s chief political analyst about the embarrassment and losses that Ukraine inflicted on Russia, whose unprovoked invasion began the war more than three years ago.

“It certainly does establish that this country, whose president was being told at the White House that he didn’t have any cards to play, that he apparently has quite a few cards to play, including this daring attack.” Hume said on “Special Report.”

Back in February Trump attempted to browbeat Zelenskyy into giving mineral rights to the U.S. for more support. “You’re not in a good position,” Trump lectured at the time in a heated exchange. “You don’t have the cards.

With us, you have cards. But without us you don’t have any cards.” Zelenskyy left the White House an hour later.

Hume praised the operation for wiping out a reported “30% to 40% of Russia’s strategic bombing force.”

“That’s a major setback for Russia,” he continued. “It is an embarrassing intelligence failure and an embarrassing defense failure.

And who knows what else the Ukrainians, who have proved pretty ingenious, have up their sleeves.”
