BOOM: 'Defies description': Conservative warns 'there will be consequences' after Trump row

National Review writer Noah Rothman found himself utterly aghast after watching President Donald Trump berate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during an Oval Office meeting on Friday.

"What just happened in the Oval Office defies description," Rothman began. "In sum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was treated to a scolding lecture about why his country should be content with the extent to which it has defended some of its citizens from foreign aggression and should capitulate. He was berated, and forced to defend himself in a non-native language, for his failure to express sufficient gratitude to the United States for its support in its existential war effort — gratitude Zelensky has expressed on countless occasions."

Rothman was particularly annoyed at the fact that Trump saw the spat with Zelensky as "great television."

"This is not a TV show," Rothman stated. "It’s real geopolitical diplomacy centered on a real war on the European continent with real and grave implications not just for the stability of the Atlantic Alliance but the U.S.-led world order around the globe. This is not a game for the benefit of a terminally online audience that is constitutionally allergic to earnestness and solemnity."

Rothman concluded by warning Trump and his administration that "there will be consequences that follow from this, and they will almost certainly be bad for U.S. security and that of our allies."
