Just like Trump, Steve Witkoff used to sell apartments and buildings. With Trump, we know his gigantic base of morons elected him, but then as the supreme Moron-in-Chief, he picked another real estate moron to be his "special envoy" mandated with solving major wars. How do you go from checking cesspools and septic tanks to making peace is easy if you are moron.
Just like the Lebanese Mossad Boulos who ran a trucking and heavy machinery dealership in Nigeria before being appointed to a title-only, not-a-real-job, Senior Advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs, for no other reason than Mossad's sycophancy and his son's dutiful consummation of his marriage vows every day and night with Trump's daughter Tiffany. Trump likes to be surrounded by equally moronic salespeople with a pretense to solving major geopolitical situations.
Witkoff screwed up big time in his "negotiations" with Putin. "Overwhelmed” and “Incompetent" are terms used by Europeans to describe Witkoff's attempts to "win over" Russia's Satan.
Please notice how these foreign leaders always smile up their ears when they're dealing with Trump and his imbecile minions. I've seen that smile on Netanyahu, Putin, Kim Jong-Un, and other dictators and war criminals. They know how to manipulate the moron. Many people say that Trump is unpredictable, but the truth is that his behavior patterns are terrifyingly predictable to these other leaders.

Trump Envoy’s Embarrassing Gaffe Could Blow Back on President

President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East botched a sitdown with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week.
During the Wednesday meeting, Special Envoy Witkoff mistook Putin’s demand for a “peaceful withdrawal” of Ukrainian forces from Kherson and Zaporizhzhia as a proposed concession from Putin to pull back Russian troops in the regions, according to German tabloid Bild.
“Witkoff doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” an anonymous Ukrainian official told the paper.
After the meeting, Trump said Russia could withdraw from the two regions in exchange for Donetsk, the Wall Street Journal reported.

But in a Thursday phone call between Witkoff, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and European leaders—during which Witkoff appeared “overwhelmed” and “incompetent,” Bild reported—the special envoy said Russia would withdraw from those regions and “freeze the front line.”
Further complicating the call was the fact that Witkoff and Vance only wanted to inform European officials about the Trump administration’s progress in the negotiations, whereas Rubio thought the Europeans should be further involved in the ongoing talks, according to Bild.

The confusion led European leaders to request another call Friday to clarify the proposal.
“This is deeply damaging incompetence,” Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia under the Obama administration, posted on X. “Witkoff should finally start taking a note taker from the U.S. embassy for future meetings. That’s how professional diplomacy works.”
Witkoff’s meeting with Putin has muddied the waters ahead of Trump’s own historic face-to-face with his Russian counterpart in Alaska scheduled for Friday, during which the president is expected to make controversial proposals for “territory swapping” between Kyiv and Moscow.
Matthew Whitaker, Trump’s ambassador to NATO, qualified the conditions of those proposals during a Sunday interview with CNN, saying that “no big chunks or sections are going to be just given that haven’t been fought for or earned on the battlefield.”
Europe and Ukraine have pushed back against those terms, insisting that any peace deal should respect Ukrainian sovereignty and guarantee its security without compromising on the Eastern European country’s aspirations for NATO membership.
Russia, meanwhile, continues to maintain a maximalist stance, seeking recognition of annexed Ukrainian territories and opposing Kyiv’s accession into the defense alliance.
