In-town pool report #17 - Graham gaggle on Zelenskyy

Graham gaggled for a few minutes. Otter here .

Highlights:

"I talked to Zelenskyy this morning -- don't take the bait. President Trump was in a very good mood last night."

"Somebody asked me, am I embarrassed about Trump? I have never been more proud of the President. I was very proud of JD Vance standing up for our country. We want to be helpful. What I saw in the Oval Office was disrespectful, and I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelenskyy again. I think most Americans saw a guy that they would not want to go in business with. The way he handled the meeting, the way he confronted the president, was just over the top.

"I think the relationship between Ukraine and America is important, vitally important. But can Zelenskyy do a deal with the United States? After what I saw, I don't know."

"He was terrible at Munich -- Zelenskyy -- and I think he has made it almost impossible to sell to the American people that he's a good investment."

Does Zelenskyy need to resign? "He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change."
