Vladimir Putin Embarrassed Donald Trump on American Soil Yesterday

Vladimir Putin embarrassed Donald Trump again. This time on American soil, because Trump was desperate and dumb enough to let Putin talk him into a summit in Alaska.

Putin is a brutal dictator who invaded a sovereign U.S. ally and killed civilians. He should’ve never been allowed back into the United States without being put in handcuffs, let alone invited. And Trump? He’s the worst possible person to stand up to someone like Putin. The worst person to defend American values against a monster.

All day yesterday, the entire conservative influencer machine hyped this meeting like Trump was about to bring peace to the world. “The greatest dealmaker alive.” “The war ends today.” But it didn’t. Nothing changed, except our standing in the world. Putin got exactly what he wanted and gave up nothing.

Even Fox News was stunned. Their reporting laid it out: this was Putin’s first visit to the U.S. in a decade, and not only was he invited—he was the first one to address the press. On American soil, it should be the American president who speaks first. Not the leader of a foreign nation. Certainly not a war criminal. But Trump let himself get steamrolled. Let himself be humiliated in front of the press corps by Vladimir Putin.
