President Trump just showed the world what real leadership looks like in his historic meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. After more than three hours of tough negotiations, Trump proved once again that he’s the only leader who can bring peace to Ukraine and end this deadly war. Putin walked away knowing he’s dealing with a president who won’t be pushed around like the weak Biden administration was.
Mark Levin got it exactly right when he said Putin is in deep, deep trouble. The Russian dictator’s war machine is falling apart and his economy is crumbling under the pressure. Putin knows his military is getting crushed by brave Ukrainian fighters, and now he’s desperate to make a deal before Trump brings the hammer down even harder.
Trump didn’t give Putin an inch during these talks. Our president made it crystal clear that any peace deal must include Ukraine’s President Zelensky and our European allies. Unlike the previous administration’s weakness, Trump is backing up his words with real consequences if Putin doesn’t play ball.
The meeting was productive, but Trump isn’t settling for Putin’s games. Senator Tom Cotton confirmed that Trump has realistic expectations and won’t hand over Ukrainian territory to this bloodthirsty tyrant. That’s exactly the kind of America First strength we need from our commander in chief.
Putin may have invited Trump to Moscow, but he knows he’s negotiating from a position of total weakness. Trump has threatened severe consequences that will cripple Russia’s oil exports to China and India. Those oil sales are what keep Putin’s war machine running, and Trump is ready to shut it down.
This is what happens when America has a real president instead of a puppet. Trump’s negotiating skills are putting Putin on notice that the days of easy money from oil exports are numbered. Russia doesn’t have much leverage left, and Putin knows it.
The deep state media won’t tell you this, but Putin is terrified of what Trump will do next. Russia’s economy is hanging by a thread, and their military is getting embarrassed daily by Ukrainian heroes fighting for their freedom. Putin’s Stalin-like grip on power is starting to slip.
Trump promised to end this war quickly, and he’s keeping that promise. While establishment politicians talk, Trump takes action that gets results. Putin is learning the hard way that America is back and stronger than ever under real leadership.
