A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s inner circle over Russia’s intentions in the Ukraine war. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Keith Kellogg urge caution, Trump leans toward aide Steve Witkoff, who believes Moscow seeks peace. Witkoff’s meetings with Putin, including a recent 5-hour session, intensified the divide. Meanwhile, a deadly missile strike in Sumy triggered further controversy, with Trump calling it a "mistake" while others condemned it. Russia blames Ukraine for escalation and misinformation.

Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration is reportedly causing chaos behind closed doors. According to a Rolling Stone exposé, senior Trump officials describe Musk as insufferable, unfunny, and disruptive in key meetings—prompting walkouts and mockery. One official said Musk believes he’s “smarter than everyone,” while another called him “the most irritating person” they’ve dealt with. His erratic behavior has sparked rumors of possible substance abuse. Diplomats now mockingly refer to him as “Crazy Uncle Elon,” with even Secretary of State Marco Rubio allegedly showing open disdain for the billionaire.
