Chuck Todd argues Putin made a 'huge miscalculation' by not giving Trump a 'win' at Alaska summit
Former NBC News "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd argued Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a "huge miscalculation" during last week's summit in Alaska by not giving President Donald Trump a "win." On his show "The Chuck Toddcast," the former NBC host said that Putin has a "very low regard" for Trump and views the president as "really easy to manipulate" after he refused to make any concessions, such as a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, for the duration of the Alaska summit. "Why do I say this? Because he's given Trump nothing," he said. "And, you know, he pays him lip service, right? He tells Trump what he wants to hear about mail-in voting… what Trump wants to hear about whether the war would have started if Trump had been president or not. But he never actually gives Trump a win that Trump is asking for, right?" Trump and Putin met in Alaska on Friday to discuss peace in Ukraine as the war nears its third year. Todd noted that Putin "couldn't even give him a ceasefire during the time that they were meeting in Alaska" or during the 72 hours that Trump was "playing shuttle diplomacy between Putin and Zelenskyy." "That is total disrespect by Putin, right?" he questioned. "It totally should undermine the idea that Putin wouldn't have launched this invasion of Ukraine had Trump been president." Todd contended that if Putin respected Trump so much, "why couldn't he just give him a temporary ceasefire?" "I think Putin thinks he can just pay lip service and not actually have to match the lip service with an action," he said. "I think he's miscalculating." Todd said Trump will eventually realize that Putin is "tapping" him along and that he doesn't plan on making good on his "lip service." He argued that this is a mistake on Putin's part, because Trump may be the "most friendly" leader of the United States the Russian president will ever deal with. "To not enhance his reputation at a time when he's desperate to enhance it, not to help him get his ceasefire, get his peace prize, give him more credibility with the West with a guy that you have influence, really seems to be a mistake on Putin's part," Todd said.

Ana Navarro Calls Out Melania Trump's ‘Performative' Letter To Putin
Ana Navarro of 'The View' is accusing first lady Melania Trump of hypocrisy, and she has a long list of receipts to back it up. On Aug.15, President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in an attempt to negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine — a goal that ultimately went unmet. During the meeting, Trump reportedly handed Putin a letter from Melania Trump urging him to protect children and future generations worldwide, saying, 'It is time.' Related: The letter, which was obtained by Fox News, was reposted by Navarro on Instagram on Tuesday — but not before the political commentator added her own unflinching critique of Melania Trump's message. 'I just can't with the performative, hypocrisy from these people,' Navarro captioned her video, right before reading the first lady's words claiming that Putin could usher in peace with merely 'a stroke of the pen.' In the video, Navarro juxtaposed Melania Trump's appeal for global peace with the Trump administration's treatment of immigrant families in the U.S., especially children. She pointed to the fear among immigrant children, many of whom are U.S. citizens, who live in constant anxiety over 'their parents being dragged through the streets of America.' Among Navarro's list of examples were the school children in Los Angeles, California, who were detained by ICE. Earlier this month, the government agency mistakenly detained a disabled youth outside of his L.A. school. 'Trump and his minions have literally destroyed U.S. aid that could feed starving children, instead of distributing it,' Navarro continued in her caption. 'They are destroying and separating families. They are taking safety nets away from poor American children and giving tax-breaks to the ultra wealthy.' Related: While Navarro acknowledged the importance of advocating for Ukrainian children, she urged the first lady to turn her attention closer to home — namely, to the policies enacted by her own husband. She wrote that Trump should 'spare' her the gestures towards influencing Putin, and suggested that she 'stands a better chance of influencing Trump.' Related: 'There are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear,' Navarro said, 'returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from because of what her husband is doing.'
