Michael Cohen - Ukraine's Peace Awaiting Trump's Approval

Last night, while Kyiv burned for ten straight hours under Russian missiles and drones, President Trump was busy polishing his imaginary Nobel Peace Prize. Bodies were being pulled from rubble. Hospitals were running on generators. Families were sleeping in basements. And yet, somehow, miraculously, Trump managed to make it all about himself.

That takes talent.

By the time Ukrainians woke up to shattered windows and fresh graves, Trump had already reduced their suffering to a footnote in the ongoing saga of Donald J. Trump: Savior of the World. His now-infamous line, “Zelenskyy doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” wasn’t just a diplomatic insult. It was a confession. A Freudian slip wrapped in faux bravado. Trump doesn’t see peace as a moral imperative. He sees it as a brand extension. A trophy. Something to put on a shelf between the Time magazine covers and the nonsensical FIFA Peace Award.

I know this man. I’ve sat in rooms where human lives were discussed with less seriousness than hotel carpeting. When Trump says “peace,” what he really means is leverage. When he says “deal,” what he means is dominance. And when he says “approve,” what he means is obedience.
