Trump labels mainstream media “sick degenerates” over Putin meeting “fake news”

The US president has dismissed reports that Steve Witkoff faced extended delays before meeting with the Russian leader in Moscow.

US President Donald Trump has sharply denounced media reports claiming that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, faced extended delays before meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week in Moscow, dismissing such claims as “fake.”

“The Fake News, as usual, is at it again!” he wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. Trump emphasized that there was “no wait whatsoever” for Witkoff’s meeting with Putin.

The statement follows a Sky News report on Friday claiming that Witkoff was “left twiddling his thumbs for at least eight hours before being called into the Kremlin.” The claim was subsequently picked up by multiple media outlets.

Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Thursday to present Putin with details of the recent US-Ukraine discussions held in Saudi Arabia. Putin welcomed a Washington-proposed 30-day ceasefire, but emphasized the need to address several issues before proceeding, including the fate of Ukrainian forces currently encircled in Russia’s Kursk Region.

In his post on Saturday, Trump clarified that “other meetings with other Representatives of Russia did take place and, obviously, they took some time, but they were very productive.”

“From there, things went quickly and efficiently, and all signs seem to be, hopefully, very good! In conclusion, there was no nine hour wait, or any wait at all!” he wrote.

According to Trump, the media fabricated the story about the envoy’s alleged wait “to try and demean, because they are sick degenerates, that have to start reporting the News correctly.”

Witkoff, a real estate mogul and long-time associate of Trump, has recently taken on significant diplomatic roles, including efforts to negotiate peace in the Ukraine conflict.

Both US and Russian officials have expressed cautious optimism about the potential for a ceasefire. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that while challenges remain, the discussions marked a positive step toward ending the conflict.

  1. Ah yep Trump.

    Just a quick reminder about the ‘success’ of ‘operation warp speed’ for those who have already forgotten.

    The legacy mass-media wonders why the Public won’t trust them . . .

    OP-ED

    The so-called “main-stream media is going through some self-assessment of late, and they see that the general public simply no longer trusts them. They’re not sure why. I can help explain it to them . . .

    They lied about the origins of Covid.
    They lied about Covid vaccine side effects.
    They lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
    They lied about Joe Biden’s mental acuity.
    They lied about Trump’s “fine people” comment.
    They lied about Russian collusion.
    They lied about the crisis at the southern border.
    They lied about social media censorship.
    They lied about “cheap fakes.”
    They lied about Kyle Rittenhouse.
    They even lied about Jussie Smollett.
    This is just a handful of examples within the past few years; there are hundreds more examples, but I don’t want to drone-on.
    In general, the people do not trust the mass-media because the mass-media/main-stream-media/legacy media willfully lie.

    Perhaps if they stop lying, people might learn to trust them again.
    Trust is earned. After the betrayals above, it will take a very long time for trust to be rebuilt.
