Washington, D.C. – What was meant to be a diplomatic discussion on U.S. support for Ukraine quickly spiraled into a bizarre economic debate, as President Donald Trump reportedly confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on an unexpected issue: why Ukraine has yet to invest in Trump’s struggling social media platform, Truth Social.
“You guys want all this aid, okay, fine. But let me ask you something: Why is Ukraine not investing in Truth Social? Why? Big opportunity! Big platform!” Donald Trump reportedly asked a confused Zelensky during their Oval Office meeting.
According to sources in the room, Zelensky initially believed this was a joke and responded with an awkward chuckle. Trump, however, was dead serious.
“No, really. You guys have money for weapons, but nothing for social media? Think about it, okay? Russia is losing influence, Ukraine is growing, but where’s your voice? Facebook? Garbage. Truth Social? Best platform, no censorship, very fair algorithms—Ukraine should be on it!”
Zelensky’s Response: Politely Dodging the Question
Faced with an increasingly animated Trump, Zelensky attempted to steer the conversation back to military and financial assistance.
“Mr. President, while we greatly appreciate U.S. support, our focus is on defending our nation, not social media investments,” Zelensky explained carefully.
Sources say Trump visibly scoffed and turned to his advisors, muttering, “Unbelievable. Not even a little bit?”
Trump Pitches ‘Exclusive Ukraine Package’ on Truth Social
Not one to let go of a business opportunity, Trump then suggested that Ukraine could become an “exclusive content partner” for Truth Social, allowing the country to post war updates directly on the platform.
“Look, Zelensky, you’re a big deal. People like you. But you know where they’re not hearing from you? Truth Social. Let’s get you verified, premium account, maybe even a little profit-sharing. Ukraine content? Huge engagement!”
At this point, Zelensky reportedly turned to his aides and asked in Ukrainian, “Is this… real life?”
Wall Street Reacts – Chaos Ensues
Following reports of the meeting, investors and financial analysts were left completely bewildered.
- Truth Social stock surged 30% as confused retail investors assumed the platform had actually landed an international government contract.
- Ukraine’s currency briefly spiked, but only because some traders misread the headline and thought Truth Social had been nationalized.
- Major U.S. defense contractors panicked, fearing Trump might demand future aid packages be partially delivered in the form of social media ad credits.
One investment analyst summed it up best:
“In all my years of covering financial markets, I have never seen ‘military aid’ and ‘social media startup’ appear in the same sentence. And yet, here we are.”
Trump’s Final Offer: ‘Ukraine First, Then the World’
As the meeting wrapped up, Trump reportedly made one final push, offering Zelensky a “personal promo code” to get started on Truth Social.
“I’ll tell you what, Volodymyr, I’ll make you a deal. You sign Ukraine up for Truth Social—huge publicity, very big—and I’ll throw in premium access for your entire government. No ads, full engagement, best algorithms, totally fair. Just think about it.”
Zelensky, maintaining his diplomatic composure, nodded politely and immediately left the room.
At press time, Ukraine had not announced any official investments in Truth Social, but Trump had already tweeted, “Great meeting with Ukraine, BIG opportunities ahead!”
