Russia celebrates as Putin 'gets better of simple infant' Donald Trump

Russian state television has openly mocked U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming Vladimir Putin is outsmarting him in the ongoing discussions over Ukraine’s future.

During a recent broadcast on a Kremlin-controlled channel, several political commentators criticized Trump’s approach to peace negotiations, suggesting he is being easily manipulated.

Journalist and political analyst Andrei Sidorchik remarked that Putin’s team sees no reason to flatter Trump, saying:

“Our people who don’t hold public office can speak more freely, and they see no need to stroke Donald Trump’s ego, which was wounded by the Nobel Committee. He talks about eternal peace in the Middle East, but there’s no mention of a Palestinian state. This shows a lack of responsibility and understanding.”

Host Roman Babayan referred to a Truth Social post where Trump thanked Putin for his “warm words” about the peace deal. Sidorchik continued, bluntly stating:

“Once again, to save the world from an apocalypse, we must stroke the ego of a man behaving like a cowboy or a child. His intellect is not impressivehe’s as simple as pocket change. He still believes Russia can be intimidated, and so does his team, which is unfortunate.”

Another expert, Professor Andrey Koshkin, predicted that Europe would eventually repay Russia its frozen assets with interest over time.

Meanwhile, journalist Evgenia Volgina argued that Trump might be using a psychological tactic to tell Putin what he wants to hear, adding that Russia seems to be the only side still genuinely speaking about peace:

“Everybody else Americans and Europeans aren’t focused on peacemaking.”

This comes as Trump escalated his rhetoric during an in-flight press conference aboard Air Force One. According to Politico, he suggested that the U.S. might consider sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if the war isn’t resolved soon.

“I might have to speak to Russia about Tomahawks,” Trump said. “Do they want them heading in their direction? I don’t think so.”

He added that while he prefers diplomacy, he won’t rule out the option:

“If this war isn’t settled soon, we may very well though not necessarily take that step. I think it’s appropriate to bring it up because I want to see this war end.”
