Donald Trump Says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Needs to Be Replaced

Donald Trump's warning to Volodymyr Zelensky has landed among TMZ's celebrity updates. In a Short credited to CNN, Trump tells the Ukrainian president to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries and says Ukrainians need a new leader.

The clip drew about 55,000 views in eight hours, already well beyond the usual full first-day audience for TMZ's Shorts. The comments were even further outside the channel's routine: more than forty times its usual first-day total had arrived before the upload was a day old.

Much of that discussion concerns the explanation for fuel shortages and prices. Several viewers question the role of the war with Iran, rather than treating Ukrainian refinery strikes as the whole explanation. Those comments are questions and arguments, not evidence establishing what caused the shortages.

TMZ explicitly credits CNN for the footage. On a feed also carrying Nikki Bella's response to a supposed wardrobe malfunction and a Love Island birthday celebration, this upload turns the focus toward presidential remarks and energy supplies.
