Dave Portnoy has praised Donald Trump's approach to handle Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, despite his furious confrontation in the White House last week.
The press conference last Friday between Trump and Zelensky deteriorated in a fight of screaming screams that turned out that the United States Commander in the United States kicks his Ukrainian counterpart outside the White House.
The tense war of words that took place within Friday's oval office quickly left the rails when Trump offended how Zelensky treated his vice president JD Vance, who accused the Ukrainian of being ungrateful, in front of the cameras.
Trump said at that time that Zelensky can return when he is “ready for peace” and the president of the United States revealed in his speech to Congress on Tuesday night that Zelensky had contacted again seeking to resume discussions.
Now, appearing in The Will Cain Show of Fox News Channel, the founder of Barstool Sports, Portnoy, who voted for Trump in the last elections, felt that the president is handling the potential of the Peace Conversations of Ukraine -Rusia in the right way.
“This is a hard area,” Portnoy said in Fox appearance on Wednesday. 'Anyone who costs war in Ukraine is black and white, I don't buy that.

But Trump said Tuesday night that Zelensky had asked to discuss peace once more.
Portnoy said in Fox that he supported Trump being 'America First' during the discussions
'People are dying, it's a war, but I tend to be America first. And I feel that this is what Trump said: “What, are we going to do this for the next 10 years? We are going to give them money and be at a dead point?”
'Because it does not seem that Russia retires and Ukraine, for your credit, is not renouncing your country.
'So, what is the solution and what is the advantage if you want to bring Putin to the table? Zelensky sitting there and simply calling every word of the book?
“You have to take these two guys to the table and, hopefully, finish this, finish the loss of lives and send them money.”
The day after the Trump and Zelensky Oval office, Portnoy shared a seven -minute video about the incident, describing it as “the most surrealist I have seen in politics.”
He said: 'He felt as if he were watching Bravo TV. Simply fascinating to see world leaders arguing with each other with the destiny of the world and World War II in balance.
“As usual with problems like this, it is a true gray area,” he continued. 'One of the most difficult things in all policy is to decide when the United States must intervene with money, troops, whatever. There are morality problems, there are security problems. If we do not leave here, will it cause problems for the United States?
Portnoy acknowledged that the country and the people of Zelenksy “have been devastated by Russia” and admitted that “it is difficult not to have any degree of compassion for Ukraine.”

However, he proceeded to make sure that there would certainly be doubt about his own position on the matter. “But having said that, I am on Trump's side more than I am from Zelensky,” he confessed.
Portnoy, who was a fervent Trump supporter in the accumulation of November presidential elections, said that the approach of the previous administration of Joe Biden, to 'threaten' Russia and Vladimir Putin, had failed in the warm war.
“It seems that I could continue forever with us, putting the bill into account,” he said.
“Clearly, what the former administration has done has not helped implement this conflict.”
