A few hours ahead of a scheduled White House meeting between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and European leaders, the former took to his social media to reassure critics: "I know what I 'm doing."Posting to Truth Social on Monday morning, Trump claimed, "I’ve settled 6 Wars in 6 months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster, and yet I have to read & listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine MESS," Trump ranted. The six wars claim has been made before, with Trump crediting himself in halting conflicts between Israel and Iran; the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda; Cambodia and Thailand; India and Pakistan; Serbia and Kosovo; and Egypt and Ethiopia.Experts, however, have suggested he's exaggerated his role in at least some of them.Trump went on to blame former President Joe Biden for Russia's invasion of Ukraine — though Trump did promise that he would end the war within his first 24 hours in office."I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them," Trump claimed. He went on to whine that those people offering advice were "STUPID" and had "no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current R/U disaster more difficult to FIX."Trump closed by calling his critics "jealous" and "lightweight." He also claimed he "always" can get things done. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Trump on Friday, where Trump failed to secure a ceasefire.

European world leaders united to announce they would attend a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, leading MAGA supporters to complain online.Friedrich Merz, Chancellor of Germany, is one of many European leaders who announced they would be accompanying Zelenskyy on a trip to meet Trump. A former Trump insider recently warned that the meeting was a "trap" by Putin and Trump against Zelenskyy."Tomorrow I will travel with President Zelenskyy and other European heads of state and government to Washington. We will exchange views with US President Trump on the status of peace efforts, security guarantees, territorial issues, and further support for Ukraine," Merz wrote.This outraged many MAGA supporters, such as author Hans Mahncke."After little Volodymir’s meltdown at the last meeting he is back but this time must be chaperoned by Europe’s regional manager caste. The whole spectacle is so pathetic and humiliating," he wrote.A conservative Christian account, @LIz77306, complained about the participation of Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission."Ursula, Do you think he will be respectful of our @Potus's efforts & extensive hours, planning to make this happen?" the user asked. "Or will he present in his normal T-Shirt attire & flipped, intitled attitude to our country & Chief? To be clear... We are the main catalyst in regards to monetary help & weapons. THIS IS NOT OUR WAR! YET WE/OUR CHIEF IS DIVERTING PRECIOUS TIME TO THIS THAT COULD BE SPENT ON AMERICANS. MAKE THIS HAPPEN & THE KILLING ON BOTH SIDES STOP!"MAGA commentator Gunther Eagleman said on Sunday, "Zelensky is going to f--- this up, isn’t he?"An account called Maga Puppy said of the Ukrainian leader's red line on giving land, "I don't think Zelensky had the clout he imagined. Even with US sanctions Russia can really ramp it up and push in even further."Economics professor Roman Sheremeta had another take, saying, "This is the right move.""Zelensky won’t be flying to Trump alone — he’ll be joined by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top European leaders. His plane has already departed with a stop in Brussels. Media report that NATO Secretary General Rutte, French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, Italian Prime Minister Meloni, and Finnish President Stubb may also fly to Washington," he wrote Sunday. "More names could be added. A united front. Europe stands with Ukraine."Akash Maniam chimed in, "Forget cards, Zelenskyy's bringing the whole deck to Washington."

President Donald Trump expressed frustration over media coverage after he failed to strike a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine.In a Sunday post on Truth Social, Trump attacked the media over reports that he could not get Putin to agree to a ceasefire."It's incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me," the president wrote. "There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me. I had a great meeting in Alaska on Biden's stupid War, a war that should have never happened!!!""If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal," he added. "That's why they are the FAKE NEWS! Also, they should talk about the 6 WARS, etc., I JUST STOPPED!!! MAGA"

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is under fire by his own MAGA allies over an immigration issue.On Saturday, the Department of State announced that, "All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review of the process and procedures used to issue a small number of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days."That led author Lee Smith to proclaim, "Gazan families, which held Americans and Israelis hostage after October 7, are being ushered into US under color of humanitarian assistance. Deport now. Fire and/or charge the Americans responsible."General Mike Flynn responded to Smith by appealing directly to Donald Trump:"Do us all a big favor and place a person in charge at every department, activity, agency, commission and board and start firing people," Flynn wrote Saturday. "The secretaries[sic] schedules are packed with other priorities (as you know). If you don’t do this, you will NEVER eliminate the 'DEEP STATE', trust me."He added, "It has to be done systematically and with purpose and great urgency," before alleging Trump advisor Sergio Gor "needs help.""These type mistakes cannot be made and cannot be tolerated," he wrote on X.Controversial Trump ally Laura Loomer had a lot to say about the subject, even claiming to be the one who originally exposed the Gazan visas."We still don’t have the names of the State Department employees who approved the visas. [Rubio] Every member of Congress needs to press for the release of those employees names and they need to be fired," Loomer wrote. "Every Gazan who was welcomed into the US needs to be deported. THERE ARE DOCTORS IN OTHER COUNTRIES! This is INEXCUSABLE!"In a separate post, Loomer said, "I am calling on every single Member of Congress to inquire with the US State Department which State Department employees endangered the safety of US citizens by signing off on visas for GAZANS.""We need to know who is responsible. There needs to be consequences," she added.Fox News personality Laura Ingraham said of the news, "Until we deport the millions of visa overstayers already here, we should be very careful about visitor visas."
