So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Yeltsin's Russia, Orban's Hungary or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his dreams come true, America will most resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.

President Xi would be a more effective and credible broker to negotiate an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine than the American president. If Putin is really interested in making peace with Ukraine, why does he need the US involved in negotiations? Have Modi do it. Anyone.
