It’s the one thing that Trump could do to rescue his Presidency. I think of this as the Celery Summit: almost tasteless with almost no nutritional value. It wasn’t hard to predict this outcome and I’m glad we get to go back to Epstein tomorrow. The same thought occurred to me, too, Poet.

Trump wants you to know that it is HE who has secured peace between Russia and Ukraine, but Zelensky has to finish the job and it will be Zelensky’s fault if it doesn't happen! Trump needs the Nobel Committee to be clear on this — Trump is who secured the peace between Russia and Ukraine if it ever occurs!

When the topic is titled as a 'nothingburger', the more words devoted to the topic, the more nothing/boring the words are. Chris is doing the best he can, but Jesus, you can't make something from nothing. Did ANYTHING emerge from this 'summit'? ANYTHING? YAWNNN...
