Trumpf hasn't seen his mentor since 2018 Finland. All of this hemming and hawing from Trumpf and him using Witless and Kellogg as special envoys sounds like a canard or a construct to validate an excuse for a summit between Trumpf and Putin. "See? The only way to get this done is for me to see Putin!" So another multi-million dollar travel extravaganza is coming down the pike: i.redd.it

President Trump has dementia:

"Trump told the leaders that Putin agreed to start direct negotiations on a ceasefire immediately. A source on the call said there were a few seconds of puzzled silence.

Zelensky then pointed out that Putin had previously agreed to negotiate, and the first round of ceasefire talks took place on Friday in Istanbul. Trump didn't directly respond, the sources said.

The sources said Zelensky and several other leaders on the call told Trump it had been his idea to start the peace talks with an immediate 30-day ceasefire."

@#6 ... zelensky makes it illegal to negotiate with russia ...

That's from 2022. Three years ago. The whole situation has changed since then.

So ... what's yer current alias got for the present that may actually be relevant?

If your current alias is speaking of Pres Trump, I'll agree.

100%.
