"I have been stealing the money."
That purported comment from Volodymr Zelensky begins a hilarious parody video of the infamous meeting between the Ukrainian president and U.S. President Donald Trump.
"I'm sorry, what's that now?" responds Trump in the spoof.
"I must to speak honestly," says Zelensky. "I steal many of USAID dollars to Ukraine. Millions. Some dollars for some oligarchs, also some for American bureaucrats also."
Trump replies, "Well, we know that, but, why are you telling me this?"
"Because, Mr. Trump, if you end war, we cannot steal any more money. We must continue war," says Zelensky.
The overdubbed video is the work of YouTube parody videomeister "Mr Reagan," and the clip has already received more than 4 million views in a single day over various social media.
At times, the spoof gets somewhat prurient, but it does correlate to real life as Trump is shown telling Zelensky, "You're not going to convince me to keep the war going. You don't have the cards."
Zelensky: "I not play cards."
Trump: "No, I know you're not literally playing cards. It's a metaphor. It's like I'm playing 4-D chess and you're paling checkers."
Zelensky: "No, I not play checkers. There is no checkerboard. You see?"
Trump: "OK, let's try this. I am in the driver's seat. OK? Do you understand that expression?"
Zelensky: "No, but we are not in car."
Trump: "No, you're right, you're right. We're not in a car. That's true."
Zelensky: "Listen, Mr. Trump, I am actor/comedian. I crave attention. Since start of war, I get worshiped by presidents. I am worshiped by Hollywood. If war ends, no more attention. No more worship. With all due respect, Mr. Trump, this was must last forever."
