The heated debate between Pres. Donald Trump and the Ukrainian president has gotten a lot of attention. There are many who have weighed in on the subject, including Sir Michael Caine.
When the Ukrainian leader went to visit Donald Trump in Washington DC at the Oval Office on February 28, he was trying to seek security guarantees and discuss the mineral agreement amid their war with Russia. His last meeting in the US was with former Pres. Joe Biden and things went civilly.
We can’t say the same about the encounter between Trump and Zelenskyy, because things got heated quickly. At one point, the vice president even said: “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.”
This led to an exchange where Vance was asked if he ever visited Ukraine, saying that the US would feel the impact of the war in the future. Donald Trump didn’t seem happy about that response, as he said: “Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel… We’re trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel.”
Trump went on to say: “You have to be thankful. You don’t have the cards. You’re buried there. Your people are dying. You’re running low on soldiers. I’ve empowered you to be a tough guy, and I don’t think you’d be a tough guy without the United States.”
He also mentioned that he was gambling with World War III and millions of lives.
According to some reports, Zelenskyy was ‘kicked out of the White House’ after the meeting ended abruptly. As you can imagine, there were many who had an opinion on what took place, and Sir Michael Caine is one of them.
Sir Michael Caine gave his opinion on Twitter with a powerful three-word message: “Calm down Trump.” The simple post went viral.
Trump calm down

He doesn’t often post on social media but when the 91-year-old British actor has something to say, it’s usually epic.
He then followed up with another post, starting ‘Calm down’.
He then made reference to one of his most famous films from 1969, saying: “You’re only suppose to sign a cease fire.”
Many came on to comment and applaud him for his opinion.
