Trump Refutes Claims Putin Kept U.S. Envoy Waiting for Hours

Mainstream media fabricates stories to smear Trump, but the truth tells a different tale.

Once again, the media has been caught red-handed peddling a false narrative this time, about an alleged diplomatic snub involving President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to reports from outlets like Sky News, Witkoff was supposedly left waiting in Moscow for over eight hours before finally meeting with Putin. Analysts claimed the delay was a calculated power move by Putin, meant to send a message to the U.S. and undermine Trump’s authority. But, as usual, the story unravels under the light of actual facts.

President Trump wasted no time in setting the record straight.
"The Fake News, as usual, is at it again!" Trump declared, refuting the reports on his Truth Social platform. He stated unequivocally:
"Last night I read that President Vladimir Putin of Russia kept my Highly Respected Ambassador and Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, waiting for over nine hours when, in fact, there was no wait whatsoever."

Trump emphasized that while Witkoff and other U.S. representatives did attend various meetings with Russian officials typical of any diplomatic mission there was no unnecessary delay. In fact:

  • All meetings proceeded efficiently and productively.

  • No excessive waiting time occurred, contrary to media claims.

  • Bilateral talks showed positive signs and potential progress.

What’s more troubling is the media’s continued reliance on anonymous “analysts” and shaky timelines to paint a picture of Trump being disrespected by foreign leaders. It’s the same playbook they’ve used since 2016 manufacture a controversy, slap on a headline, and hope the American people won’t question it.

This isn’t journalism; it’s character assassination disguised as reporting. The media’s obsession with undermining Trump has cost them dearly:

  • CNN’s viewership dropped nearly 30% year-over-year in 2023.

  • A recent Gallup poll showed trust in mass media is at a dismal 32%, one of the lowest in history.

Meanwhile, Trump’s leadership on the world stage remains strong. He’s focused on productive diplomacy, putting America first, and refusing to play into media-driven distractions.

It’s clear: The fake news machine is desperate, but the American people are no longer buying it.
