The Alaska summit was a spectacular distraction
"The short-lived encounter between Trump and Putin was ultimately anticlimactic, with Trump stating, 'There’s no deal until there’s a deal.' Fox News reported that Trump rated the meeting a 10 out of 10, highlighting his appreciation for Putin’s claim that he would not have invaded Ukraine had Trump won the 2020 presidency."
"The no-deal talks provided a convenient distraction from the current intra-MAGA strife, which is exacerbated by issues surrounding the Epstein files and quote Trump's shifting position on their declassification."
Trump's encounter with Putin aimed to soothe tensions within his base amid internal conflicts. The meeting rated a 10 out of 10 by Trump became noted for his vague remark that 'there's no deal until there's a deal.' Trump endorsed Putin's comment regarding the Ukraine situation, suggesting the invasion would not have occurred under his presidency. However, the real purpose of this summit appeared to provide a distraction from escalating disputes over the Epstein files and Trump's altered stance on their release, marking a shift in his relationship with the Republican base.
