In the latest episode of America’s Got Egos, Donald Trump has unveiled “tremendous” oil sanctions against Russia — presumably typed out in all-caps between bites of a well-done steak at Mar-a-Lago. This theatrical flex comes after a proposed peace summit with Vladimir Putin in Hungary was abruptly cancelled. One can only imagine Trump furiously slapping the table when he realized he wouldn’t get to play Cold War Cosplay with his favorite Bond villain.
🧼 Diplomacy by Twitter, Sanctions by Shenanigans
Imagine thinking Putin, a man who’s spent the last decade mugging off Western leaders like it’s a national sport, is going to be rattled by Trump’s oil sanctions. That’s like trying to stop a bear with a scented candle.
Trump, ever the PR wizard, likely believed this “big, bold move” would show strength. Instead, it’s giving big “I got ghosted so I blocked her on Instagram” energy.
Meanwhile, Vlad’s probably sipping vodka in a gold-encrusted sauna, rewatching footage of Trump hugging the Russian flag like it was a long-lost lover. The summit’s cancellation? Probably just saved Putin a lot of awkward small talk and whatever MAGA-grade “deal-making” Trump had up his sleeve. (Spoiler: it was golf vouchers and a branded Bible.)
But hey — nothing says “diplomatic genius” quite like throwing a tantrum, slapping down some half-baked sanctions, and spinning it as a win while the rest of the world blinks in disbelief.
💥 Challenges 💥
Is Trump genuinely trying to play hardball, or just winging foreign policy like it’s an episode of The Apprentice: Global Meltdown Edition?
