The Ukrianian president unofficially asked for permission to attend Doanld Trump’s inuaguration three times but was refused.
Donald Trump Jr has claimed that Zelesnky asked the incoming US president to invite him to the inauguration several times, but was consistently snubbed.
RT reports: Writing on Instagram, Trump Jr. mocked the Ukrainian leader’s interview with American podcaster Lex Fridman earlier this month, during which Zelensky stated that he could not attend the inauguration on January 20.
“I can’t come especially during the war, unless President Trump invites me personally. I’m not sure it’s proper to come because I know that in general, leaders are for some reason not usually invited to the inauguration of presidents of the United States of America,” he told Fridman.
Trump Jr. opined in response that “the funniest part is that he asked for an invite like three times unofficially, and each time got turned down.”
“Now he’s acting like he decided not to go himself,” he added, branding Zelensky “a weirdo.”
