In a display of unyielding confidence, President Trump took center stage in the Oval Office alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, shedding light on ongoing peace talks aimed at squashing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. With his characteristic flair for the dramatic, Trump asserted that he had been “elected by the American people to restore common sense”—a relief, perhaps, for a world weary of the senselessness that often spills from DC, especially under less competent leadership.
Trump took credit for reviving direct communication with Russia, claiming it was one of the first orders of business when he assumed the presidency. It’s hard to ignore the irony of a former reality star and businessman stepping into the role of diplomat-in-chief, but lo and behold, he’s convinced that a few phone calls can unravel months of conflict. He confidently stated that Russia desires to end the war, perhaps imagining a world where peace is just a handshake away.
In a sign that global sentiment might not be aligned with some of the more aggressive strategies seen in recent years, both Trump and Macron gathered for discussions with the G7 nations to discuss economic avenues toward peace. As if in an effort to remind everyone what strong leadership looks like, Trump punctuated this meeting with the reminder that the war might never have ignited had he remained in the White House. If only the world had had more of his ‘deals’ and less of the prevailing chaos, he hinted. Sounds almost like a campaign slogan waiting to happen.

Trump boasted about an upcoming “Critical Minerals and Rare-Earths Deal” between the United States and Ukraine, which he claimed would not only bolster the Ukrainian economy but also allow American taxpayers to recoup funds poured into aiding Ukraine. One can almost picture the streamlined negotiations leading to a win-win situation for both nations. He assured his audience that serious economic development talks were already underway with none other than Vladimir Putin himself. While the mainstream media might scoff, history has shown that Trump does have an uncanny knack for business negotiations—possibly because he views geopolitics through the same lens as a corporate boardroom.
Lastly, Trump hinted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky might swing by the White House for a signing ceremony anytime soon. If one were to place bets on this visit, it would be wise to wager on a flurry of photo-ops and perhaps even an exchange of friendly banter, fostering the notion that diplomacy still has a place in international relations. Amidst the chaos that often accompanies such high-stakes negotiations, it seems Trump remains resolute in his mission to restore peace, all while making America—and the world—a little less “chaotic.”
