“President Donald Trump declared Monday a success, posting that he’d ‘had a very good meeting with distinguished guests,’ then ‘a further meeting in the Oval Office.’ After which he phoned Russia’s Vladimir Putin to start arranging a Putin sitdown with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, then ‘we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself.’ Crucially, he was caught on a hot mic earlier saying he believes Putin truly wants to reach a peace deal: ‘I think he wants to make a deal for me, you understand that? As crazy as it sounds.’ The day sure offered grounds for hope, starting with an Oval Office love-in as Trump, Zelensky and a pack of European leaders cooed at each other.” (08/18/25)
