Rep. McCormick to Newsmax: Trump Brilliantly Played Zelenskyy Encounter

President Donald Trump has effectively maneuvered his confrontational encounter at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy so that it ultimately will “result in good things,” Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax on Tuesday.

McCormick, who is a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, told “Newsline” that “Zelenskyy misplayed [his hand] dramatically” at his meeting in the White House.

McCormick emphasized that he has “been in support of Ukraine all along, [but] I think [Zelenskyy’s behavior] is absolutely the wrong way to go about it. He fumbled the ball at the 1-yard line. I think he has ability to recover now.”
