An Open Letter
To: Pres. Trump

August 8
Please don’t let Putin play you. He thinks he can manipulate you and take whatever he wants. He invaded Ukraine which is completely unacceptable. If he had issues with Ukraine he should have handled them diplomatically.
Why should you kowtow to Putin who runs a country with a vastly smaller economy than the USA? We expect you to stand for Ukraine and its sovereign borders. If you allow Putin to take Ukraine he will continue his expansionist policy and take over other countries including those we are pledged to defend like Poland and the Baltic states.
You need more than a real estate investor advising you and representing you in Russia. Putin was in the KGB and that comes with certain skills that Steve Witkoff doesn’t have. It has been reported that they are running nude photos of Melania on Russian state television specifically to humiliate you. They wouldn’t do that without Putin’s permission. You need to get advisors on board who can give you insight into Putin and what he is trying to get out of you. Gather a round table of Russia experts. Go in strong! Putin is counting on being able to flatter and manipulate you. Don’t let him.
