Michael Caine’s Iconic Three-Word Jab at Trump Over Zelenskyy Clash Sets Social Media Ablaze

Tensions boiled over in Washington, D.C., as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to secure support and negotiate a crucial mineral deal. The discussion turned fiery when Vance accused Zelenskyy of lacking gratitude for U.S. aid. Zelenskyy fired back, challenging Vance’s credibility and questioning whether he’d ever set foot in war-torn Ukraine. Trump then escalated the exchange, accusing Zelenskyy of being “buried” in the war and recklessly “gambling with millions of lives.”

Amid the global buzz, 91-year-old Sir Michael Caine jumped into the fray with a now-viral post on X (formerly Twitter). In just three words—“Calm down Trump”—the veteran actor instantly lit up the internet. He followed up with a cheeky nod to his classic Italian Job line, writing: “You’re only supposed to sign a ceasefire.” Fans praised the comment as classy, clever, and perfectly timed.

In the aftermath, Trump claimed Zelenskyy was unwilling to make peace with the U.S. involved, while Zelenskyy reiterated his appreciation for American support and urged the need for lasting peace—stressing that Ukraine’s future depends on it. He confirmed interest in the mineral deal but made clear that it hinges on receiving security guarantees from the U.S.
