Trump Writes Post About Moscow That's Absurd Even For Him

President Donald Trump on Sunday really reached to criticize outlets for their coverage of his peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal,” he wrote on Truth Social. “That’s why they are the FAKE NEWS!”

Trump was perhaps smarting over negative headlines like: “In Alaska, Trump gifts Putin more time to grind down Ukraine,” and leads like “Nothing says standing up to Russian aggression quite like welcoming the aggressor on a red carpet and applauding him. On Friday, Donald Trump did both.”

There was no deal reached at the summit to end Russia’s 3-year-plus invasion of Ukraine. The conditions being presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who will meet with Trump on Monday, seem to be: Surrender chunks of territory, perhaps including unconquered land, for little in return.

Optics re anything else are irrelevant. He has utter contempt for the military.

2. Trump lashes out with lies and false claims of 'fake news' - whatever that's supposed to be.

No one believes Trump, and appropriately so – his ‘summit’ was a failure, a cowardly capitulation to Putin, a war criminal and enemy of democracy.

5. What did Trump say he would do if Putin didn't agree to a cease-fire? Did Putin agree to a cease-fire?
