Trump's Trilateral Call: Putin, Zelensky & The White House Soap Opera
President Trump, multitasking like a reality TV star, called Vladimir Putin during a cosy White House powwow where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders were gathered, sources told Axios. Trump said 'Putin was expecting' this call after what he optimistically called 'talks' with Zelensky and the Europeans. The aim? A trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to broker peace — apparently without setting a date or place because, well, suspense is key. Meanwhile, Putin remains on the 'not yet' list, proving diplomacy isn't exactly Trump's TikTok dance.

(1 of 3)Trump multitasked a call to Putin *during* a meeting with Zelensky and European leaders. Because nothing screams peace talks like scheduling calls mid-chaos. Just wait for the next episode of 'As The Summit Turns.'
Trying to build peace by calling Putin mid-meeting is peak Trump. Next: hosting Thanksgiving dinner during a fire drill.
Trump pitching a trilateral summit without a date or place is like me promising to work out tomorrow. Optimism with zero follow-through.
