Trump Golf Pal Doesn't Need Russian Translator, He Just Needs This Ashtray And This Lamp!

Everything's going great! For Putin!

While his son Zach is running around the Middle East helping Uday and Qusay do family crypto-grifts, bumblefuck Steve Witkoff is out here pretending to do international diplomacy so badly he’s not even bringing translators along, eesh.

You remember Witkoff, the real estate investor and Trump’s golf buddy with no diplomatic experience? The one texting two hands-praying, a flexed bicep, and two American flag emojis 🙏🙏 💪 🇺🇸🇺🇸 in Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat with that reporter from the Atlantic on March 13, while Witkoff was also literally standing in Moscow?

CURRENTLY CLEAN ON OPSEC!

Witkoff’s title is Special Envoy to the Middle East, which is not Russia, but everybody in Trumpland has like five jobs. So in between his art o’dealing with Egypt, Iran, and Israel, Witkoff was also making four trips to Russia, on Feb. 11, March 13, April 11, and April 25, presumably to beg Putin to honor even one of the humanitarian truce agreements he’s made for even 24 hours. Please, let Trump pretend like he isn’t a pathetic patsy for one day!

And, weird, Witkoff has been traveling to Russia alone, even without the envoy to Ukraine, Lt. Keith Kellogg, who would seemingly be important to have tag along when you’re talking about Ukraine. Though Kellogg did retweet photos and hopeful well-wishes that the next peace agreement Putin makes will be the one he decides to honor for the first time after all these years.
