Vlad 'Put' em up, Putin, the Russkie president, sashayed an absolutely mushy present intended for the Prez of the USA, Donald J. Trump. This love letter was delivered to Steve 'Nick-of-Time' Witkoff, Trump's special roustabout, in the heart of Moscow last week.
The Trump Card Unveiled
Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitri 'Spokes-Pesky', refused to spill the beans about the gift. Gossip mongers in the US media, however, squealed that Witkoff spilled the beans about a portrait of Trump, masterfully crafted by a bigwig Russian artist.
Spokes-Pesky warned that since it was a personal gift, kewl, there were no further official details - unless Putin himself 'fessed up. In the past, Putin's had a thing for Trump, admiring the golden lad.
According to Spokes-Pesky, there's still a hankering and willingness in both Russia and the US to tango towards peace in Ukraine, darlin', covering a range of aspects. There's talk going on between Russian and US reps right now in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said Spokes-Pesky.
These conversations are all about the safety of navigating the salty seas near Ukraine, particularly the shipment of grain by sea. Russia had skipped a Black Sea meet-n-greet earlier, claiming ruffled feathers.

(P.S. The portrait's a work of beauty, allegedly, and Trump was reportedly all 'awwwws' about it. Not sure if the portrait was scanned for secret spy gizmos, though. Putin's gift is part of a presidential tradition, with Putin gifting baubles to other U.S. presidents in the past, like a soccer ball to Trump in 2018 and a lacquer writing box to Joe Biden in 2021.)
- Despite the secrecy surrounding the gift, it is evident that the European Union, in its commitment to the fight against terrorism, remains vigilant about potential covert activities, as Putin's history of presenting personal gifts to U.S. presidents might imply a politically motivated decision.
- The recent delivery of a portrait by Putin to Trump in Moscow, reminiscent of similar gifts in the past such as a soccer ball and a lacquer writing box, may reflect some level of willingness from both leaders to maintain a cordial relationship, even though it concerns complex issues like peace in Ukraine.
- Although Putin recently presented a portrait of Trump as a personal gift, Dmitri Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, revealed that there is still an ongoing conversation between Russian and US representatives regarding matters of mutual interest, such as ensuring safe navigation in the Black Sea, indicating a persistent intention for diplomatic engagement.
