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.
Dude if Trump finds out someone else blew off Putin he’s gonna be really mad.
This makes me pretty sure that Putin kept Witkoff waiting for over 8 hours. Putin is notorious for using this as a power tactic, and generally speaking, I find that most things orangeboi denies are true.
Of course, the FSB was extremely frustrated at the media while posting on Trump’s truth social account
But Putin does this all the time. Like, all the time. He’s well known for it, even among people that support him. Putin’s all about these sort of bullshit power play games, that’s why he also has that comedically long table he sits at.
This motherfucker is way past his expiration date.
You should have posted the entire quote:
Trump insisted, “There was no wait whatsoever to accept my unconditional surrender.”
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 thing they all have in common is a lust for power and domination. Bunch of fucking nazis.
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.
Christ this dudes ego is SO delicate lmfao
I love how he confirms stuff like this.
Yeah, “well, there were other meetings going on which had to end first” and “there was absolutely no wait time at all”…
I think I can discern what he meant but couldn’t articulate, but if we have to interpret what a more capable person would have said any time the president speaks…
But since we do have to interpret what he must have meant, my interpretation is that he was trying to say “there was reasonable justification for the wait time, it wasn’t artificially increased as a power-play”. Though a counter argument would be, that is exactly how a power play of artificially increasing wait times is accomplished. Instead of scheduling stuff so that people will be met with at a reasonable time given their circumstances, things are shuffled around to make the person unsure when they are supposed to go in. Enough so that they can’t leave cuz it could be any minute, but long enough that they should feel slighted. 2 hours would be a pretty ridiculous slight. Making someone spend 8 hours in your lobby without leaving is overkill. That means the whole time they kept assuring him it would be soon. At no point did they give him any heads up that he could maybe safely go to lunch or dinner or whatever since it wasn’t gonna be “that” soon.
For these meetings, it is generally considered a normal level of respect for the meeting to occur within an hour of the plane landing. Especially for someone who should be incredibly busy and scheduled to have other meetings in other countries that same day.
8 hours is fully, literally, toying with him. 100% showing how little they respect him and who he represents. 3 or 4 hours would have accomplished a complete and utter embarrassment… they wanted to set a record, just for fun.
i’m sure lil Steve Witkoff has very strict instructions to not undermine the Trump messaging and if asked today, will tell us he was escorted right in!
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.
“No one puts
BabyStevie Deals in a corner!”
