Danica Patrick has shared her thoughts on Donald Trump’s conduct during his exchange with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday.
The two Presidents ended up in an argument inside the Oval Office, with Vice President JD Vance also involved.
The parties were meeting as a precursor to what was supposed to be the signing of a deal that would have allowed the United States access to Ukrainian oil and other valuable minerals. However, no such deal was reached, as Zelensky was subsequently kicked out of the White House.

Trump appeared to dress the foreign leader down in front of the cameras after he suggested that war would someday reach the U.S. and they would feel differently.
“You have to be thankful. You don’t have the cards,” he said. “You’re buried there, people are dying, you’re running low on soldiers. Then you tell us, ‘I don’t want a ceasefire.’ If you can get a ceasefire right now, you take it so the bullets stop flying and your men stop getting killed.”

While the POTUS was lauded for his strong words, some people felt like he crossed the line.
Patrick, who supported Trump before the 2024 presidential elections, was not among those who felt he was in the wrong and praised his leadership.
“How fun is it to watch not only our president but also vice president…… lead!!! I love 2025 so much,” she wrote in a tweet. “Comparison is not the thief of joy these days. It’s clarification of what our country needed. Thank you to all who voted for America first and common sense.”
Trump doubled down on his stance after advising Zelenskyy to seek peace with Russia, while the Ukrainian President has since apologized and expressed gratitude for America’s assistance.
