Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a masterclass in diplomacy this weekend when he faced down liberal media hosts trying to paint President Trump as a bully toward Ukraine. The mainstream media wants Americans to believe Trump is somehow forcing Ukraine into a bad deal with Russia. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Rubio explained on Meet the Press that Trump is the only world leader who can actually get Putin to the negotiating table. This is not America’s war, but Trump is doing what no other president could do. He is bringing both sides together to find real peace instead of endless conflict that enriches the military industrial complex.
The liberal media hosts tried to suggest Trump was pressuring Zelensky unfairly during their White House meeting. Rubio shut down this ridiculous narrative by explaining how actual negotiations work. Both sides have to give something and get something or there is no deal.
Trump’s historic meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday shows the kind of bold leadership America has been missing. While the establishment wrings their hands about optics, Trump gets results. He is not interested in photo ops or virtue signaling like the previous administration.
The reality is that Ukraine cannot win this war without massive concessions that will bankrupt America. Trump understands that real peace requires tough choices from everyone involved. The media wants to keep this war going forever because it serves their anti-Trump agenda.
Zelensky came to the White House alongside European leaders who have been freeloading off American taxpayers for decades. Trump made it clear that the days of blank checks and endless support are over. America First means putting our interests ahead of foreign wars.
The goal here is not a temporary ceasefire that kicks the can down the road. Trump wants to end this conflict permanently so American families can focus on their own problems. Gas prices, inflation, and border security matter more than European politics.
This is exactly why Americans elected Trump again. He makes deals that benefit America instead of playing games that benefit the Washington swamp. While Marco Rubio was schooling biased reporters, Trump was doing the hard work of actual diplomacy that will bring peace.
