President Trump on Saturday, following his meeting in Rome with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, issued a scathing response to far-left New York Times author Peter Liddle, who wrote a piece attacking Trump and inferring that he’s shilling for Putin.
Trump also threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin with sanctions over a recent missile strike, which he has already rebuked Putin for. The President reiterated his criticisms, stating, “There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump met with Zelensky this morning in Vatican City as the two attended the Pope’s funeral. Zelensky also signaled in an X post that “Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out” is on the horizon.

Upon landing in Rome on Friday evening, the President shared that “major” terms have been agreed to, and the two countries are “very close to a deal.”
However, Peter Baker attacked Trump in an article on Saturday morning, accusing Trump of giving Putin everything he wants while stiffing Ukraine after the United States gave hundreds of billions of dollars to the country.
At the center of the attacks was the issue of Crimea, a formerly Ukrainian territory that was given to Russia during the Obama Administration. Now, Zelensky wants the area back, recently declaring that Ukraine will not recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea. President Trump slammed Zelensky over these demands on Wednesday morning, saying they’re “very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia” and noting that “Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama.”
In an interview with Time Magazine, released Friday, Trump reportedly said, “Crimea will stay with Russia,” as he seeks to bring peace in the region.
Because of this, leftists like “Liddle’ Peter Baker” are outraged and accusing Trump of acting on Russia’s behalf. As Trump noted in a blistering Truth Social post, Baker has never criticized Obama for allowing Russia to take Crimea over in the first place, but now blames Trump.
“I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets,” the President said. “This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is.”
No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his Editor’s demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II. Why doesn’t this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired.
It was also Liddle’ Peter who wrote an absolutely fawning, yet terribly written Biography, on Obama. It was a JOKE! Did Baker ever criticize the Obama Crimea Giveaway? NO, not once, only TRUMP, and I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets. This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is.
With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!!
