From hiring Katty Kay as White House spokesperson, only to dismiss her after 5 days, to mocking the President of Ukraine by calling him illegal. Why? Because he did not hold elections, because he lifted the ban on Russian diesel. These factors have led to criticism from Zelensky, Europeans, American Democrats, and analysts against him. To the extent that they say: 'We Americans are embarrassed by him.'
