But the meeting erupted into a shouting match at the White House on Friday that was seen worldwide, as many conservatives have criticized Zelenskyy's behavior at the White House after receiving billions in aid from the U.S.

Favre joined that list of conservatives with a post on X on Friday shortly after the meeting. 

"This was a bit unreal to watch. A foreign leader speaking to a sitting U.S. President like this," Favre wrote in response to a clip of the argument. "Glad Donald Trump and JD Vance are standing up for America."

Former MLB player John Rocker responded to Favre. "It's hard to believe this happened," Rocker wrote. 

Another user wrote, "Love seeing world leaders being held accountable by our President Glad to have Trump and Vance fighting for American interests, no more apologies for being great Time to put America first and show the world what we're made of," in response to Favre. 

However, some users went out of their way to criticize both Favre and Trump.

"Imagine Zelensky trying to tell them that Putin is full of s--- and instead of listening they get defensive and insult? They the people w no backbone or values applaud? Unreal?" one user wrote in response. 

Another user wrote, "Flip it around dips---, JD Vance doesn't know when to shut up. A President and Vice President should never talk to a leader of another country this way patronizing him about details he lives everyday."

"Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media," Vance told Zelenskyy. "Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict."

Zelenskyy later said that under war, "everybody has problems, even you," and that the United States would feel the war "in the future."

"You don't know that," Trump responded as Zelenskyy said, "God bless you" to him.

"Don't tell us what we're going to feel," Trump continued. "We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're going to feel." 

The president also said that Zelenskyy was "gambling with World War III."

The Oval Office exchange led to a canceled press conference, a minerals deal off the table and Trump asking the Ukrainian president to leave, a White House official previously confirmed to Fox News Digital.
