He spent the next two hours begging me not to make him look like Boo Boo the Fool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> I would like to thank my American counterpart for traveling out here to Alaska.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> I got what I needed for the \u2019Gram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> When I got off the plane, I said, \u201cGood afternoon, dear neighbor. Very good to see you in good health and alive.\u201d<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Alive? Did the translator mean \u201calive,\u201d or did he just call Trump one McDouble away from a dirt nap?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> We are separated only by the Bering Strait, two islands apart. Close neighbors, it\u2019s a fact.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> After I\u2019m done with Ukraine, I might slide over and scoop those islands too. You owe me, coward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Alaska is part of our shared heritage and history\u2014Orthodox churches, Russian names, World War II supply routes.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Maybe we can help you with your MAWA campaign\u2014<em>Make America White Again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Our pilots risked their lives for victory. We always remember when our nations defeated common enemies together.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Translation: Don\u2019t talk, Donny. Just stand there and try not to look goofy while I freestyle history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> There have been no summits for four years. Relations have fallen to their lowest point since the Cold War.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Because I couldn\u2019t punk Biden or Obama. You? Easy work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Me and President Trump have very good direct contact. We spoke frankly on the phone.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Where I reminded him of all the receipts\u2014Epstein Island, kompromat, and the \u201coops\u201d files Melania keeps in Russian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> President Trump is striving for peace in Ukraine. His efforts are precious.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Perfect patsy energy. He talks peace while I redraw the maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Ukraine is a brotherly nation. Same roots. Everything that\u2019s happening is a tragedy.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Different daddies, same mama\u2014Russia. Don\u2019t overthink it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Any settlement must address Russia\u2019s security concerns.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> The concern is simple: Ukraine belongs to me. End of story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> I trust today\u2019s agreement will pave the path to peace.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Stick to the script, Donny. Say \u201cgreatest deal ever,\u201d then let me get back to shirtless horseback riding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> We can grow trade, tech, and space exploration together.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> At the end of the day, it\u2019s about money. You fake it, I take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Let us turn the page to cooperation.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> So we can keep hacking your elections while you spin it as \u201cwinning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> We have every reason to believe this will end the conflict in Ukraine.<br><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Because Trump owes me money, his wife might be KGB, and we\u2019ve got the Polaroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRUMP:<\/strong> Thank you, Mr. President. Very profound. We had a productive meeting. Many points agreed. A few not yet agreed. Progress made. Tremendous people. Hottest country in the world. Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. NATO. Phone calls. Tremendous progress. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BAT:<\/strong> Translation? We don\u2019t know either. Man\u2019s sentences be wandering like stray dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PUTIN:<\/strong> Next time, Moscow.<br><strong>TRUMP:<\/strong> Ooh, interesting.
