Transcript of a Totally Real Phone Call Between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin About Ending the War in Ukraine
Disclaimer: The following is a work of satire. Any resemblance to actual phone calls between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is entirely coincidental and possibly hilarious.
Introduction: The Call That Could Change the World
Diplomacy is a delicate art. It requires tact, intelligence, and a strong grasp of international politics. And then there’s whatever this is.
Picture this: Two world leaders known for their larger-than-life personalities hop on a call to hammer out peace in Ukraine. On one side, a former U.S. president with an affinity for gilded decor, fast food, and hyperbole. On the other, a Russian leader who rides bears (probably) and thinks shirtless horse-riding is a viable foreign policy strategy.
What could possibly go wrong?
Below, we’ve uncovered excerpts from the highly classified, totally authentic (wink-wink) transcript of this groundbreaking phone call. Prepare yourself for high-level diplomacy… or something like it.
Transcript Highlights
Trump: Hello, Vlad! Tremendous to speak with you. Tremendous! You know, people tell me all the time I do the best phone calls. Perfect calls. Nobody calls like I do. Believe me.
Putin: Da, Donald. It is… interesting to hear from you. What do you want?
Trump: Listen, we’ve got to stop this war in Ukraine. It's a disaster. A huge disaster. I’ve seen disasters, okay? And this—this is big. Bigger than my inauguration crowd. Sad!
Putin: I see. And your solution?
Trump: Glad you asked, Vlad. First, you pull out of Ukraine. All of it. Even the parts where you’re like, “Oh, this feels like Russia.” No! Out!
Putin: Nyet.
Trump: Alright, fine. How about this: we rename Ukraine. Call it “Trumpraine.” You pull out, I move in. I’ll build the best hotels, the best golf courses, maybe even a Trump Tower Kyiv. Classy!
Putin: You’re joking, yes?
Trump: I don’t joke about great deals, Vlad. Never! It’s why I’m so rich. Did you know I wrote “The Art of the Deal”? Bestseller! Sold millions. Millions!
Putin: You want me to end the war by renaming the country after you?
Trump: Exactly. And you get free lifetime membership to Trump Golf Moscow. Sweetens the deal, doesn’t it?
Negotiation Continues
Putin: Let us say I agree to stop the war. What do I get in return?
Trump: Easy. I’ll have the best, most beautiful McDonald’s built in Red Square. Bigger than the Kremlin. Plus, I’ll throw in free Wi-Fi. You guys love Wi-Fi, right?
Putin: You think I care about Wi-Fi?
Trump: Of course you do! Everyone loves Wi-Fi. Believe me, I know these things. And think about the branding: “Putin’s Peace Fries.” I can see it now.
Putin: Sighs deeply.
A Peace Plan Like No Other
Trump: Listen, Vlad, here’s the big idea. You invite Zelensky to Moscow. But—and this is huge—you make him ride a bear. Shirtless! You two, side by side, on bears. The world sees it, and boom: instant peace!
Putin: That’s your plan? Bears?
Trump: Bears are strong. Very strong. Like me. You’ve seen the polls, right? Strong!
Putin: I think we are done here.
Trump: Don’t hang up, Vlad! I’ve got more ideas! How about this: We send Kim Jong-un to mediate. He’s got the nukes, you’ve got the nukes. It’s like a bro club. You can call it the Nuke Bros!
Conclusion: Diplomatic Success?
While the transcript ends abruptly (possibly because Putin hung up), we can only hope the call made some progress. Or at least gave Putin a new appreciation for Wi-Fi.
As we wait for actual peace talks to bear fruit, we can only wonder: is this what diplomacy has come to? If so, we might all need to stock up on Putin’s Peace Fries and hope for the best.
