Kremlin Chief Putin Mocks Trump – "Useful Idiot"

News38 Kremlin Chief Putin Mocks Trump – "Useful Idiot" Marcel Görmann • 5 hrs. • 2 mins read Even roughly three months after taking office as US President, Donald Trump is far from achieving his goal of creating peace in Ukraine. While he repeatedly publicly denigrates and dupes President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump himself repeatedly runs into a brick wall with Putin. This became particularly clear on Palm Sunday, when another tragic war crime was committed by the Putin regime. "Putin Mocks Trump" While Trump sent his special envoy Steve Vitkoff to St. Petersburg on Saturday to negotiate, Putin ruthlessly continued his terror against the Ukrainian civilian population. On Sunday (April 13), more than 35 people were killed in a rocket attack in the city of Sumy. Security expert Nico Lange now assesses the situation between Putin and Trump for "The Pioneer." He says: "Putin is making fun of Witkoff and also of Trump. He's continuing to claim Sumy, essentially laying claim to the entire Ukraine." Trump is "extremely far from making a deal with the Kremlin ruler." Essentially, he is being "degraded" by Putin "to some kind of errand boy or useful idiot," Lange analyzes. Zelensky admonishes the US government In fact, even after the Sumy massacre, the US president had no clear words to say about Putin's behavior. He even claimed that the attack on Sumy was a mistake. "I'm told they made a mistake. But I think it's a terrible thing. I think the whole war is a terrible thing," Trump said, remarkably reluctant to criticize Putin. Meanwhile, Trump again blamed Ukrainian President Zelensky for the war: "You don't start a war against someone twenty times your size and then hope they give you missiles." Meanwhile, President Zelensky had to remind US negotiator Vitkoff that he could not make any unacceptable concessions in the talks with Russia. Zelensky was referring to the territories occupied by Russia. "All territories belong to the unitary state of Ukraine," the Ukrainian said at a press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Only the Ukrainian people could decide on that.
