Andy Cohen thinks President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance's contentious White House visit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had all the tension and drama of an episode of "Real Housewives."
The "Watch What Happens Live" star took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to throw shade at the Trump administration's handling of the Ukrainian president's visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Friday.
After an X user asked Cohen, "Did we just watch The Real Housewives of the World. @Andy," the "Housewives" executive producer compared the controversial meeting to the Bravo reality franchise that follows affluent and prominent women from cities like Beverly Hills and Atlanta in high-drama, high-stake situations.

What happened between Trump and Zelenskyy?
Cohen's comments came after Trump slammed Zelenskyy in the Oval Office Friday and later told the Ukranian president to leave the White House in a surprising public spat that jeopardized continued U.S. support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
During the exchange, Vance told Zelenskyy he was being "disrespectful" to Trump and should be thanking the U.S. rather than lecturing it on the cause of the war. Trump later said he's "determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved" and Zelenskyy abruptly left the White House at Trump's demand, according to a White House official.

Andy Cohen previously slammed Trump as 'weak man' with 'fragile ego'
Cohen, one of a slew of Trump critics in the entertainment industry, called Trump a "weak man" with a "fragile ego" in his Instagram endorsement of Harris, who ultimately lost the election.
"She will be a President for all Americans. I believe January 6 was one of the darkest days in our history, the result of a weak man’s fragile ego," Cohen wrote in his message to fans on Oct. 23.
"I am voting for Kamala Harris because: I believe women should have jurisdiction over their bodies. As a gay American dad who had kids through IVF, the Supreme Court is on the ballot and I don’t want it filled with (more) right wing extremists who will take away my rights," he added.
He continued, writing "I believe in sensible gun control. I believe in building the middle class, and raising the minimum wage. She is mentally fit to serve as Commander in Chief and not too old for the job. America should never cozy up to dictators."
He concluded the note by encouraging fans to vote. Then, weeks later, he posted an Election Day 2024 selfie with his daughter Lucy, 2, on Nov. 5, writing "I voted for Her, for her 🇺🇸" in reference to Harris.
