ANCHORAGE, AK — The highly anticipated Trump-Putin summit in Alaska concluded yesterday without achieving its central goal: an immediate cease-fire in Eastern Europe. But according to conservative pundits, the meeting was still a resounding success because, as one Fox anchor put it, “Trump looked like a man who could definitely bench-press Putin if it came to that.”
The summit began with a ceremonial dog-sled arrival, where Trump reportedly told the crowd, “No one has ever sledded better than me. Even Santa Claus, very weak sledder, folks.” Inside the gilded meeting tent (lined, according to witnesses, with Trump’s signature fast-food wrappers for insulation), the two leaders huddled for four hours over bowls of lukewarm borscht.
The Goal That Wasn’t
White House aides had billed the summit as Trump’s chance to negotiate “the fastest peace deal in history — possibly 10 minutes, tops.” Instead, the talks ended with Putin smirking, Trump calling the talks “tremendous,” and both leaders signing what insiders described as “a decorative moose poster symbolizing mutual respect.”
When pressed about the failure to secure a cease-fire, Trump brushed it off:
“Sometimes peace takes longer than a commercial break. But I was very strong. Everyone said I looked very strong. Putin was shaking — probably from the cold, but also maybe from me.”
Conservative Praise Chorus
Despite the lack of tangible results, conservative commentators flooded the airwaves with glowing reviews:
-
“Putin didn’t make Trump cry — that’s leadership.”
-
“The handshake was firm. That’s basically a treaty.”
-
“The man ate reindeer jerky on camera without gagging. Biden could never.”
One Republican senator went further, calling the summit “a turning point in history” because “for once, Trump didn’t ask Putin to autograph a shirtless calendar.”
Closing Scene
The summit wrapped with Trump holding a joint press conference, where he announced:
“We didn’t get the cease-fire, but I did get Putin to admit that Alaska is very, very cold. That’s a win for America.”
Putin reportedly left the stage immediately afterward, muttering something about “back to real negotiations with serious people.”
Back in Washington, conservative outlets hailed the trip as a triumph. “Peace is overrated,” one headline read. “Looking strong is forever.”
