Trump’s Latest Slip-Up Has Folks Saying ‘We Are Screwed as a Country’

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump became a subject of ridicule after seemingly forgetting that Alaska is part of the United States. This gaffe occurred during a Friday interview with Bret Baier on Fox News aboard Air Force One, just before heading to Alaska for the first summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin since 2021. Preceding their discussions, Trump boasted a tough stance, saying he would walk away from any deal that didn’t seem promising.The reference to returning to the “United States” sparked widespread mockery online, with many questioning Trump’s cognitive state. Despite earlier threats of severe consequences for Putin if no peace deal emerged, the summit concluded without any significant announcements.Critics noted the meeting highlighted Trump's trend of taking a confrontational stance before reverting to a more conciliatory tone in person. Trump’s focus on potential business partnerships raised concerns about prioritizing economic interests over national security. The fallout has left European allies anxious about America’s role in future peace negotiations.
