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.

    The Republican party self selects for idiots that believe their feelings instead of facts, he isn’t even that great a bullshitter, he simply has a captive audience that has spent so long repeating things they know aren’t true that they’re pot committed to believing anything that makes them feel good. Mostly that means they have to pretend everyone else is as criminally minded and self-serving as they are.
