And with with that arrival ceremony, with the setup, as you said, President Trump undid so much of what dozens of countries around the world have worked for several years to put in place this political isolation, diplomatic isolation with sanctions imposed.
and other forms of economic pressure, this economic isolation.
And then you have the optics of it all.
What President Putin has coveted, especially since President Obama called Russia a, quote unquote, regional power in the waning days of his second term, is nothing more than to stand on the same plane as the U.S.
president, to stand side by side,
to be seen as an equal.
And in some ways, President Trump didn't make President Putin come off as an equal.
He made him come off as a superior.
Again, the pageantry, allowing him to speak first during the press conference, allowing him to set the rules for the press conference where they didn't take questions.
President Putin got everything he wanted optically.
He got everything he wanted in terms of the imagery.
But again, I am most concerned that he got everything he wanted substantively because he left Anchorage with President Trump firmly in his camp.
Even after a day of engagement with the Europeans yesterday at the White House, President Trump hasn't moved off that Russian position.
He continues to advocate for it to this very hour.
Look, there's been a lot of fawning coverage of what happened at the White House yesterday.
And if you grade on a curve, if you grade on the Trump curve, yes, it was a good meeting in the sense that President Zelensky was welcomed back to the White House.
President Trump said nice things to him.
He said nice things back to President Trump.
President Zelensky wasn't thrown out on the street after 45 minutes.
In fact, he was there for several hours.
