In a powerful post on X (formerly Twitter), Ric Grenell, President Trump’s special presidential envoy for special missions, sounded off on Susan Rice, a diplomat who worked for the Obama and Biden Administrations, hammering as a failed diplomat and warmonger who started multiple wars with failed policies.
That series of incisive comments came from Grenell in response to a post on X from Rice, formerly a national security adviser to Obama and a UN ambassador for America, in which she alleged that conservatives are “tired” of President Trump after he and Vice President Vance smacked down Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky during a meeting in the White House.
The spat began with a post from the Federalist’s Mollie Hemmingway, who called out Rice on X, saying. “Yesterday, Susan Rice said of the Trump-Zelensky meeting, “There is no question this was a set up.” She revealed full knowledge of the mineral agreement, complained that it didn’t include “concrete” security agrees (meaning, apparently, commitment of US troops on the ground if conditions merit), and then mischaracterized Trump’s behavior, counting on most Americans to not have watched what transpired over the entire hour in the Oval Office. You can look at this and dismiss it as typical Democrat talking points, but you could also view it as almost a confession, one that includes details about the current “Get Trump” effort.”
She added, “Zelensky repeatedly declined opportunities to sign the deal in Kyiv and Munich, and requested the meeting at the White House. It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did — that they recommended him to be hostile and to try to goad Trump into blowing up. Even though he didn’t, and even though Zelensky’s actions horrified many normal Americans, the Obama team went on the airwaves to falsely characterize what happened. I think their goal was to have a wonderful performance by Zelensky, an angry Trump appearing to scuttle the deal, and the support of the neocon portion of the GOP to start applying pressure on Trump to have US Troop commitments as part of the “security guarantee.” It was a set-up, in Susan Rice’s interesting choice of words.”
It was in response to that post from Hemmingway that Susan Rice lost her mind, alleging that Trump had made a major error and writing, “You clowns are up to the same old tired crap. When your guy screws up and royally embarrasses himself and the U.S., you try to change the subject and lie about a favorite target to distract and deflect.”
Continuing, she claimed that conservatives, in opposing a continued, losing war that is destroying Ukraine, are sucking up to Putin. She wrote, “For the record, I have never met Zelenskyy and never spoken to him. Ever. Or advised him or anybody around him. It’s a shame that you contend that it is in the U.S. national interest to sell out Ukraine and suck up to Putin.”
Grenell obliterated Rice. He said, in a quote tweet of her attack on Hemmingway, “Your guy couldn’t even talk to Putin. For 3.5 years! Your policies helped usher in a war in Ukraine, Gaza…and Rwanda if you remember. And then you lied about Libya – it wasn’t caused by a video. You made that up….Donald Trump handed you peace in the Middle East and Europe – you handed us two wars. We see you.”

For reference, the meeting that sparked Rice’s comments was an utter disaster for the Ukrainians, with Zelensky being tossed from the White House after arguing with Trump and Vance about the need for peace. Trump, posting about the meeting on Truth Social, said, “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure.”
He added, “It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
Watch that train wreck of a meeting here:
This was a bit unreal to watch. A foreign leader speaking to a sitting U.S. President like this.
