A doomsday prepper who has a stash worth $400,000 has issued a urgent warning for people to ‘act now’ following Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky’s clash in the White House.
Rowan Mackenzie is well-known for her expert advice in preparing for any disaster, including the end of the world.
The 40-year-old has spent over a decade preparing for doomsday after she started stocking up her cupboards 13 years ago.
Since then she has spent thousands of dollars on essential items to survive the apolcalypse – this included constructing an underground bunker.
Following last week’s war of words in the Oval Office between Trump and Zelensky, which ended with the Ukrainian President being booted out of the White House, Ms Mackenzie is urging people to ‘act now’ and for those in denial to ‘wake up’.
She said: ‘This event between two Presidents is proof that anything can happen at any time.
‘All it takes is someone saying something that upsets the other person – and with a snap of a finger causes a war.’
The homemaker and estate agent added that she agrees with how Trump handled Zelenksky, despite Trump’s claim that the world leader was ‘gambling with World War Three’, but thought it could have ‘repercussions’.

Ms Mackenzie has also issued fresh advice to her fellow preppers to continue to stock up on essentials such as non-perishable food and survival gear.
‘You never know when disaster could strike and right now, it could be imminent,’ she said.
Stockpiles, such as Ms Mackenzie’s, shouldn’t expire for at least another 25 years.
And while she’s learned how to preserve foods and to ensure little to wastage, the clash has still put her – and others in the prepping community – on edge.
She said: ‘It shows a potential shift in the reliability of government support during crises and so preppers are getting the signal to reassess their strategies.
‘There’s more of an emphasis now on self-reliance and local community networks.
‘And it’s causing us to intensify our efforts in securing resources because we just don’t know what’s going to happen next – or how easily we’ll be able to get our hands on things.’
Ms Mackenzie previously revealed how ‘grateful’ she was that Trump had been re-elected into the White House.

But as always, her advice remains clear.
She added: ‘Don’t panic, make a list and execute.
‘I’ve said it time and time again, you’ve got to be prepared for anything at any time.’
Since last week’s clash in the White House, President Trump surprised America’s allies yesterday when he announced the suspension of all military aid to Ukraine.
‘The President has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution,’ a White House official said.
The decision casts doubt over Ukraine’s ability to continue to defending itself against Russian invaders. It is understood the ‘pause’ will extend to undelivered aid already earmarked for Ukraine by the Biden administration.
A second official told Fox News that ‘this is not permanent termination of aid, it’s a pause’. All military equipment not currently in Ukraine will be halted and all future aid is now in jeopardy.

Trump’s manipulation of the war followed an abrupt post warning that ‘America will not put up with it for much longer’ on Monday after Zelensky had suggested the end of the war is still ‘very, very far away’.
Zelensky had spoken after a summit in London on Sunday, with 18 allies joining to offer Ukraine security guarantees and reify their support.
British PM Keir Starmer said a ‘coalition of the willing’ would come together to present a viable peace plan to Trump.
But Zelensky’s warning was met with ire in Washington, where Trump’s inner circle branded the comment ‘evil’.
