Trump’s Deputy Assistant has attacked critics of the President’s strategy to end the war in Ukraine as ‘ignorant’ and ‘churlish’.
Speaking to GB News, Seb Gorka said:
“We are as close to a deal [in Ukraine] as is humanly possible if the parties want to engage in common sense.

“We’ve seen both sides of a rather intransigent conflict make different noises of late, including Moscow. And the most important thing of all is that the President has called the bluff of Kyiv.

“He has given voice to his frustration in the last 72 hours and I think President Zelensky understands he has a window, a very small, closing window, to bring peace to his benighted nation in a conflict that Mike Waltz is correctly described as a meat grinder.

“Peace is imminent. If both sides understand that there’s only one man who can broker that deal, that it is President Trump.

“[Critics of Trump’s approach] are asinine, they’re ignorant, and they’re churlish, and they’re doing nothing to actually bring peace to the European continent.

“America came and saved Europe in 1917, did exactly the same thing after Pearl Harbor. The idea that we’re having to do it for a third time in less than 110 years is truly, truly remarkable.

“There’s a lot of ‘jaw-jaw’ in Europe. There’s only one person who can stop the ‘war war’, and that’s President Trump. The end of the day, we are not a superpower. We are what France called a hyper power. There is no nation that comes close to even having a modicum of our strength.

“As a result, we can bring to bear the forces that are needed; militarily, diplomatically, economically. You’re seeing this with the tariff.

“I was in the Oval last night for a press event, and the President asked his Secretary of Commerce, ‘So how many heads of state, how many governments have reached out to get better terms in tariff negotiations?’

“As of last night it was over 100 countries have said, ‘okay, okay, we get it. We’ve been using, use the world’s piggy bank, and we want a better deal.’

“So whether it’s international trade, whether it’s the Houthis and maritime shipping, whether it’s the war in Ukraine, whether it’s peace in the Middle East, one man can deliver and again, it’s the man who wrote The Art of the Deal.

“I don’t think anyone has to accept anything as Russian territory or not. We have to accept the lines of demarcation and the reality on the ground we live in the real world. The Trump administration is about the rebirth of common sense amongst those who have the hand on the tiller of state.

“What we do is we recognise the situation and then we proceed with a cessation of hostilities. I would ask a question of those who say, Oh my gosh, this is a surrender to Russian control of Crimea.

“In the meantime, what are you prepared to do about it? Are you going to send your sons? Are you going to send your children to take back Crimea from Russia? Let’s have a little bit of common sense prevail, and at least for the time being, stop the bloodshed.

“What happens later as a result of negotiations is another question, but let’s just stop the meat grinder.”

Discussing the move by some MPs and Peers to block President Trump addressing Parliament, Seb Gorka said:

“Keep doing it because you will be seen for what you are. You will be seen for the absolute cretinous individuals that you are. You will be seen for the flunky who has no clothes on.

“At the end of the day, what do you think it’s going to do to your political future to block the most successful politician in the world who is at the helm of the most powerful nation in the world?

“Tell them that to go back and watch the footage of my boss with the then Late Great Queen Elizabeth II. Look at the cheer, look at the spirit, look at the absolute embodiment of the special relationship doing during those state visits and then tell me that the British people don’t want that.

“A British people who by the way, just as we fought for MAGA, for making America great again, fought for Brexit in the biggest assertion of British sovereignty since the Magna Carta.”
