The Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meeting was a concern for every Ukrainian, most Europeans, and any of us around the world outraged by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We all know how Trump idolises Vladimir Putin, I could not believe he rolled out the red carpet for a war criminal.

Whilst Trump sees himself as the deal maker, according to him, that’s what he does. However, he is more likely to cave into Russian demands. To say Trump is easily manipulated under statement, Trump is under-prepared and acts on instinct, unfortunately his instincts are scattered to say the least. Trump likes to be flattered, Putin flatters Trump at will and this flattery leads to manipulation.

Already, his statements fail to inspire anyone except for Russians and hard-core MAGA supporters. Trump has been doing his usual TACO turn around, he really does not offer any inspiration or stability. Trump’s scattered approach does not paint a compelling narrative, he provides no direction. You get the feeling his attitude is shaped by the last person who briefed him.
