But, but...Trump can still get a NOBEL if his Envoy Steve Witkoff was caught "coaching the Kremlin." right?

Trump Envoy Busted Plotting With Russia to Sabotage Ukraine

Steve Witkoff is teaching a master class to Russian officials on how to get what they want from Donald Trump.

On Oct. 14, Trump’s special envoy advised Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushakov, on how the Russian dictator should curry favor with Trump before broaching a proposed peace plan between Russia and war-torn Ukraine, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

During the five-minute call, Witkoff told Putin’s henchman that the Russian president should personally phone Trump, 79, ahead of his planned meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—where Zelensky hoped, but ultimately failed, to secure long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles—to congratulate him on the Gaza ceasefire.

“My recommendation…. I would make the call and just reiterate that you congratulate the president on this achievement, that you supported it, you supported it, that you respect that he is a man of peace, and you’re just, you’re really glad to have seen it happen,” Witkoff told his foreign counterpart.

I’m no fan of Russia, but, I can’t imagine how these world leaders keep from throwing up when debasing themselves like this.
