President Donald Trump lashed out at the criticism he’s faced for his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week, which failed to result in a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.
“The Fake News has been saying for 3 days that I suffered a ‘major defeat’ by allowing President Vladimir Putin of Russia to have a major Summit in the United States,” Trump wrote Sunday evening in a Truth Social post that did not mention the outcome of the summit. “Actually, he would have loved doing the meeting anywhere else but the U.S., and the Fake News knows this. It was a major point of contention!”
Trump argued that his critics wouldn’t have been pleased even “if we had the Summit elsewhere” because “the Democrat run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was.”
Claiming “these people are sick,” Trump transitioned into boasting about improving the crime in Washington, D.C., and his efforts to “secure [the] Southern Border.”
“They even want CRIME IN D.C., and other BLUE Cities throughout our Country, but don’t worry, I won’t let that happen. Just like our now secure Southern Border (ZERO illegals in last 3 months!), our cities will be Secure and Safe, and D.C. will lead the way!”
