You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

No one deserves to be sabotaged by Dear Leader more than Elise Stefanik. She sold her soul to the devil, and he put it in a trash compactor.
Reporter: Stefanik has campaigned on calling Mamdani a jihadist. Do you think you’re standing next to a jihadist?
Trump: No… but she's out there campaigning. You say things sometimes in a campaign. You’d have to ask her about that. I met with a man who is a rational person.
