Donald Trump made clear that his personal grudge with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky hasn’t abated during a phone interview with NBC News.

Speaking with Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, the president knocked Zelensky for offering assistance to the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, the latter of which the Ukrainian president said on Friday were seeking his aid in sharing drone detection technology.

The “last person we need help from is Zelensky,” Trump told Welker.

    Israel is the only country even marginally close enough to be mistaken for the target.

    And they would know we’re not going to fire upon them. We’re apperently sucking their dick politically.

    None of that would make sense for any of those countries to think it’s aimed at them.

    Let me put it in baseball terms. You’re looking at an infield pop fly, and worried that the outfielders might catch it. Or in the case of Russia, a fan in the upper bowl of the bleachers. The trajectory doesn’t line up for that to make sense.

    MAYBE Israel, but again, they know they’re safe from us.

      Depends on trajectory, to hit Iran, unless your going over the southern hemisphere, you’re either passing over China, Russia or Europe / the middle east. At least for ICBMs launched from the mainland. I suppose there’s nothing stopping a sub from launching a few miles from Iran’s coast.
