Trump ‘tricked’ into ‘blank cheque’ deal as Putin ‘laughs his backside off’

DAILY STAR

Vladimir Putin is reportedly “laughing his backside off” at Donald Trump, having clinched a “game, set and match” victory with his “blank cheque peace deal”, according to one analyst. Despite Putin’s promise to cease targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, Trump’s attempt to end the conflict through a lengthy phone call fell short.

Trump and Ukraine had hoped for a 30-day complete ceasefire, but instead handed Putin a “blank cheque” that essentially serves up everything the Russian leader desired on a platter.

Defence and security expert Anthony Glees described Putin as overjoyed and cackling after outmanoeuvring the man who claims to be the “best deal-maker in the world“.

Speaking to the Mirror, he said: “The 90 minute ‘conversation’ with Trump was game, set and match evil Putin. No wonder he was smirking on Russian TV yesterday evening. To mix metaphors poker-playing Putin is laughing his backside off at golfer Trump.”
Trump’s presidency began with a commitment to withdraw America from its role as global enforcer and reduce its foreign engagements. However, he has instead caused turmoil in Ukraine, and now appears as a “total failure” for not leveraging his audacious plans.

Professor Glees further commented: “What I would say is that the phone-call fiasco yesterday not only weakens Trump, but it also puts Starmer and the European Coalition of the Willing, that the UK is leading, on the spot.”
