Presidents Trump and Putin met yesterday in what was a predictably crazy meeting.

And the meeting, according to Trump, was a "10 out of 10" because of how well the two sides got along.

However, while the meeting was productive and lots of progress has been made, President Trump was clear that there was no deal yet. Not without Ukraine's involvement.

And when President Trump said he'd be calling leaders of Europe, members of NATO, and Zelensky he didn't mean that he'll get around to it on Monday morning after a nice weekend in Florida.

President Trump gave an interview with Hannity to update the American people ...

... and then immediately got on the horn with NATO and with Zelensky while we were all asleep and while he was traveling back from Alaska.

And this could all be coming to an end in just a couple of days. President Trump posted this on Truth Social at 4:46 Saturday morning:

(Dude worked a literal 24-hour shift, y'all!)

Maybe Zelensky will say "thank you" during this meeting, and maybe we can finally move towards peace in the region.
