Summary

Donald Trump lashed out at media reports claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin kept his envoy, Steve Witkoff, waiting for over eight hours in a “power play.”

Sky News reported the delay, but Trump denied it on Truth Social, calling the story fake and the media “sick degenerates.” He insisted there was “no wait whatsoever” and that discussions were productive.

Trump also faced criticism for repeating Putin’s claims about Ukrainian troops being surrounded.

Witkoff left Moscow without securing a ceasefire agreement.

    Witkoff left Moscow without securing a ceasefire agreement.

    But he was dusting off his knees and wiping his chin, so the meeting was productive.

    Putin is masterful how he enrages the right and the left but why is it that the left can see through it and MAGA thinks he’s powerful and idolizes Putin?

      The most telling thing about the character of a person is what they dream of when there is a boot on their neck.

      Some dream of becoming powerful enough to rid the world of those who would be a boot on the necks of others.

      Some merely dream of becoming powerful enough to be the boot.

    I don’t think anyone should trust Trump or the UK media. The truth is probably that it was 6 or 7 hours and the envoy had a fine time earning Queen bee on Spelling Bee and then got arrogant and played Quordle and threw his phone.
