US President Donald Trump called Vladimir Zelensky a "Ukrainian Barnum" — a businessman and showman who became the founder of the famous traveling circus in The United States at the end of the 19th century.
"Sleepy (ex-US President) Joe Biden spent all his time and money of our country, giving everything to the Ukrainian F.T. Barnum (Zelensky!). Hundreds of billions of dollars. And, although he gave away so many ultra—high-quality weapons (for free!), he didn't bother to replace them," Trump wrote on the Truth Social network.
Earlier, Trump described Barnum as a man who could "sell anything at any time" — regardless of whether it works or not.
Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891), in addition to the traveling circus, became famous for exotic animals, "freak shows" and large-scale performances. Barnum is considered one of the founders of modern show business and advertising, his motto was "the public needs a spectacle."
