Chapter 1: What did Trump promise regarding Ukraine?
on our YouTube channel during the hot takes that I do. If you want to take a look at the clip, you can go see it from our executive producer, Aysen, who posted on our various social media platforms like Blue Sky and X. But as Donald Trump is saying that he's delegating to Xi Jinping, it comes as the same time that Xi Jinping and Putin made an announcement that they actually made a deal together.
So at the same time that Donald Trump's inauguration was going on and Trump had that just bizarre executive order signing session in the Oval Office. Here's what went down. Xi Jinping declared readiness to bring China-Russian ties to a new height in a call with Putin.
So remember, Donald Trump said on day one, he actually said right after the election, he would get on the phone, he would call Putin, he would call Zelensky, and he would bring them together. And he said, you do this, you do this. And Trump said, because he's such a great dealmaker, that he would resolve everything and there would be peace in Ukraine. Remember, that was his promise.
Chapter 2: How did Xi Jinping and Putin respond to Trump?
And if you want to say that Donald Trump really meant 24 hours after the inauguration, well, remember, the day of the inauguration, Trump was like, just give me half a day more. Give me half a day more. Well, Donald Trump did not call Putin and Zelensky and bring them together. But who called who? Xi Jinping and Putin called each other.
Chapter 3: What was the significance of the Trump press conference?
They held a video conference where they agreed and they made a deal to bring the China-Russian relations to new heights, they said. This was a call that took place
the same time of the inauguration, while Donald Trump was holding this press conference saying that he was delegating things to Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping and Putin announced on January 21st that they held this video conference and made this deal to help each other and to,
remain each other's leading source of providers of dual use goods and to be each other's largest consumers of energy resources and products. So that's what was going down. At the same time, you have Russian media just totally mocking Donald Trump. So I want to show you this. Read the subtitles here. What I'm going to show you, to be very clear, I give you the disclaimer.
This is Russian propaganda, but it is important that you see what they're saying on Russian state-run media and how they are brutally mocking Donald Trump on Russian state-run media. And Putin controls state-run media. So remember what went down, which was right after Trump won the election,
Putin started having state-run media show nude photographs of Melania and then the hosts would like laugh and mock Melania and they would say, I guess it's her body, her choice, Donald. Remember that was going down. I remember Donald Trump was also like, yeah, I spoke to Putin and then Putin
leaked to his sources that there was no phone call ever, and that it was pure fantasy to suggest that there was a phone call that took place. And then Putin accelerated things, escalated things, cut deals with North Korea, Donald Trump's buddy, Kim Jong-un, to send North Korean troops into Ukraine. All of that was going down.
But let me show you what happened in the past 24 hours on Russian state TV. So they're like mocking Donald Trump in this clip. The hosts of this Russian state TV, they're like the Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters, Laura Ingraham, if you will, of Russia. And so here they're like, look, Donald Trump needs Putin. Donald Trump needs to beg Putin.
Donald Trump can't accomplish anything unless daddy Putin gives Donald Trump permission. Watch this first clip. Let's play it.
First, it's impossible to deceive Russia. as it has been done many times. B. We, in fact, will move according to the planned plan. And, in fact, Trump today needs Putin's support, because all the ambitious tasks that he does in international politics, starting from his desire to change the borders of the United States, to move towards Canada, Greenland,

Chapter 4: How is Russian media portraying Trump?
Saturday, Kurakhovo. And when you look at the international news on this background, you fully understand that we are being dragged into a gigantic war. And what should limit us to the destruction of our enemies? Well, they directly set the task of destroying us. Together with the British, send peacekeepers to the territory of Russia. What peacekeepers? Idiots!
You need to protect London and Paris. We will take both London and Paris.
Now in this last clip, this is enlightening stuff, right? To see what's going down and how they're talking about things and how they're viewing Donald Trump as completely and utterly weak. So here you have Russian TV laughing at Donald Trump's promise that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours and just saying how utterly ridiculous it is. And they were also talking about how
some of the Russians were actually invited to the inauguration and given, you know, VIP treatment while the head of the president of France and other allies were not given kind of anywhere near the distinction of Russians. Here, play this clip.
And Zelensky was not invited. And Macron was not invited to the inauguration either. Katya, do not answer this question. Let there be intrigue. Of course, intrigue. Katya has such a job. Now it probably sounded even more mysterious. Well, there is sensational information today that Trump has already given the order to his own assistant to prepare a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin.
What do we know about this? Well, we know that Donald Trump has long wanted to talk to Vladimir Putin, and he not only hints at this, but also makes certain actions. We know that for Donald Trump, what happened in Ukraine is a bright red cloth. From the very beginning, when this conflict began, he said that he would not allow it. And now he is doing everything possible to end this conflict.
But as you rightly said, they already understand in the White House that it will not be possible to end it in 24 hours.
Now, one of Donald Trump's first executive orders was this one right here, reevaluating and realigning United States foreign aid.
What this executive order did is it stopped funding of foreign aid for the next 90 days, which would also likely include financial aid to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel, potentially, although Donald Trump, with respect to Israel, at least Israel, that's not going to happen now.

Chapter 5: What recent developments occurred in Russia's military ambitions?
Secretary Rubio, one of the many things that President Trump said during his campaign run was that he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. That did not happen. How do you reconcile with the fact that he made a lot of promises and now it might be up to you and the team to keep these promises?
Yeah, I think the promise the president made, really, if you look at it, is it's going to be the priority. It's going to be the official policy of the United States that the war in Ukraine needs to come to an end. It is a stalemate. Look, it's a war and it's a conflict that was started by Russia. But it is now a stalemate, a protracted, bloody conflict.
It's been incredibly destructive, I would argue, for both Russia and Ukraine. But Ukraine is paying the biggest price of all. to its energy infrastructure, to the people and lives that have lost, to the millions of Ukrainians that have had to leave their countries and are living overseas. The conflict needs to end. And it's the policy of the United States that we want it to end.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Russian state TV's messages?
We want to do everything we can to help it end.
So there you have it, Donald Trump's negotiating skills is to delegate the negotiation to Xi Jinping to reach a deal in Ukraine when then Russia and Xi Jinping are announcing their broader alliance, which is to check the United States. Y'all see what's going on here, right? Like, This isn't, it's just shocking to me that corporate media is not making these connections.
I mean, it doesn't shock me. They were in the tank for Trump, but like, this is pretty serious stuff. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 4 million subscribers, and thank you very much for watching.
