Trump & Putin’s Alaska Date: Cold War, Warmer Handshakes
President Trump and Vladimir Putin rolled up to Alaska's Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson for a summit with all the subtlety of a WWE tag team match. Trump claimed he'd know in 'the first couple of minutes' if Putin was serious about peace — talk about a rush job! The opening gabfest expanded last minute from a tête-à-tête to a squad meeting including Marco Rubio. Putin even bailed on his signature late arrival power move and Putin's crew showed up with USSR nostalgia, including a foreign minister in a USSR shirt. Trump's aiming for a ceasefire or 'severe consequences' — stakes higher than Game of Thrones finales.

Trump and Putin did a limo ride without interpreters to decide 3.5 years of war in 'a couple minutes.' Meanwhile, the USSR shirt admin is making Cold War cosplay cooler than Comic-Con.
Watching Trump claim a peace deal in 'the first couple minutes' is like expecting your 3-minute ramen to fix world hunger. Spoiler: It won't.
Putin arrives on time for once, no USSR shirt surprise for us? Next summit: Trump and Putin in matching matching dad sneakers negotiating territory with TikTok dances.
