Favre Calls Out Zelenskyy After White House Meeting
NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following a tense meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The meeting, intended to discuss peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, reportedly erupted into an argument.
Favre, a staunch Trump supporter, took to social media to express his disapproval of Zelenskyy's behavior. He shared a clip of the argument and wrote, "This was a bit unreal to watch. A foreign leader speaking to a sitting U.S. President like this. Glad Donald Trump and JD Vance are standing up for America."
Favre's comments received mixed reactions, with some praising his support for Trump and others criticizing both Favre and Trump. Former MLB player John Rocker expressed disbelief at the situation, while another user commended Trump and Vance for "fighting for American interests."
However, others criticized the behavior of both Trump and Zelenskyy. One user questioned why Trump and Vance would get defensive when Zelenskyy tried to discuss Putin's actions. Another user criticized Trump and Vance for patronizing Zelenskyy and failing to acknowledge the challenges Ukraine faces.
The meeting reportedly ended with a canceled press conference, a minerals deal off the table, and Trump asking Zelenskyy to leave. The Oval Office exchange highlighted the ongoing tensions between the US and Ukraine, and the challenges of achieving peace in the region.

Trump and Vance had no respect for Zelenskyy or Ukraine's struggle. Absolutely shameful behavior.

Standing with Trump and Vance on this—we need strong U.S.-centered diplomacy, not endless concessions.

Brett Favre should stick to throwing footballs, not weighing in on international diplomacy—embarrassing!

Our leaders showed strength by facing Zelenskyy's inappropriate behavior—thank you Trump, Vance, and Favre!

Favre hit the nail on the head. Zelenskyy crossed a line speaking to our president like that.

I stand with Zelenskyy. Ukraine deserves respect from our leaders, not hostility and disrespect.
