Love in a cold climate: Putin romances Trump in Alaska with talk of rigged elections and a trip to Moscow | Donald Trump
It was the moment when he knew it was true love.
Donald Trump turned to his gaze on Vladimir Putin while the Russian president publicly approved his point of view according to which, if Trump had been president instead of Joe Biden, the war in Ukraine would never have arrived.
“Today, President Trump said that if he was president at the time, there would be no war, and I am sure that it would indeed be,” said Putin. “I can confirm it.”
Vladimir, you complete me, Trump could have answered. To hell with all these democrats, democrats, wokes, false journalists and checks of facts. Here is a man who talks about the language of authoritarian alternative facts.
Damné skeptics were concerned about the big summit on Friday at Elmendorf-Richardson base, an air base of the Cold War under a large sky and picturesque mountains on the periphery of anchorage, in Alaska.
They feared that it would look like the appeasement by Neville Chamberlain from Adolf Hitler to Munich 1938, or Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Staline sculpting the world for the great powers during the Yalta conference in 1945.
It was worse than that.
Trump, 79, allegedly the most powerful man in the world, has literally deployed the red carpet for a Russian dictator charged with alleged war crimes on the kidnapping and transfer of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin troops were also accused of blind murder, rape and torture on a appalling scale.
In more than 100 countries, the 72 -year -old man was arrested when he set foot on the Tarmac. In America, he was entitled to a spontaneous burst of applause of the Trump wait, which gave him a long and persistent handshake and a walk in “The Beast”, the presidential limousine.
Putin could be seen cackling on the rear seat, resembling the cat that obtained the cream. As a former KGB man, has he left a bug or two?
Three hours later, the men went on stage for a 12 -minute anticlimatic press conference on a blue backdrop printed with the words “pursuing peace”. Putin would have a height of 170 cm (5.7 feet), while Trump is 190 cm (6.3 feet), but the Russian seemed to be the dominant figure.
Curiously, since the United States welcomed, Putin was authorized to speak first, which gave him the opportunity to frame the story. More curiously, the defending Trump spoke for less time than his counterpart, although he slipped a compliment: “I have always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin – with Vladimir. “”
The low energy Trump refused to answer all the questions of journalists – a rare thing indeed for the monster and the assistant of “The Weave” – and highlighted the prospect of a cease -fire in Ukraine.
Perhaps he wanted to give his old friends to Fox News exclusivity. Having snubbed the media of the world, Trump quickly sat down and overturned the beans – finally, some of them – to welcome Sean Hannity, a cheerleader that even spoke during a Trump rally.
The president revealed: “Vladimir Putin said something – one of the most interesting things. He said:” Your election was faked because you have a vote by mail … No country has votes by mail. It is impossible to have a postal vote and to have honest elections. “”
“And he said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said:” You won this election by so much and that’s how we got here. “He said:” And if you would have won, we would not have had a war.
In other words, the head of one of the oldest democracies in the world took advice to a man who won the Russian elections last year with more than 87% of the votes and changed the Constitution so that he could stay in power until 2036. In this distorted story of history, the insurrectionists of January 6 in fact tried to arrest a war.
Obviously, Putin knows that whispering Trump’s favorite lies in his ear is the path of his heart. It worked. The Russian chief, visiting the United States for the first time in a decade, obtained his wish to be welcomed on the world scene and made the US president look at the equal.
He could also go home, reassured that, despite a recent difficult patch, and despite Trump’s Bromance with Elon Musk, he loves you yeah, yes, yes.
“The next time in Moscow,” he told Trump in English. “Oh, it’s interesting,” replied the American president. “I’m going to have a little warm on that one, but I could see it maybe happening.”
Trump’s humiliation was complete. But everything was not lost. At least no one was talking about Jeffrey Epstein or the price of vegetables.
