Hanging out with Elon Musk’s son, X, has triggered something in our President Donald J. Trump. According to a read-out of a phone call between the Presidents of peacetime the United States of America and wartime Ukraine, President Trump has expressed concern about the children that Russia has kidnapped.
President Trump is going to get them back; and, if he does, he does indeed deserve The Nobel Peace Prize.
There was a darling video the other day of President Trump and X (the child not former-Twitter) walking and frolicking out toward a helicopter at the President’s home. X is his normal incorrigible self, and Trump is the doting grand-dad.
With full attribution to The White House, here is the read-out of the phone call that, among other things, puts Russian President Putin on notice that President Trump wants those children brought back home (and he wants America to own Ukraine’s nuclear power plants) and he does not want any of Putin’s excuses.
Statement from Secretary Rubio and NSA Waltz on Call with Zelenskyy
“Today (3-19), President Donald J. Trump and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a fantastic phone conversation. President Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for a productive start for the work of the Ukrainian and American teams in Jeddah on March 11th. The meeting of the senior officials from both nations significantly helped in moving toward ending the war.
President Zelenskyy thanked President Trump for the support of the United States, especially the Javelin missiles that President Trump was first to provide, and his efforts towards peace. The leaders agreed Ukraine and America will continue working together to bring about a real end to the war, and that lasting peace under President Trump’s leadership can be achieved.
President Trump fully briefed President Zelenskyy on his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the key issues discussed. They reviewed the situation in Kursk and agreed to share information closely between their defense staffs as the battlefield situation evolved. President Zelenskyy asked for additional air defense systems to protect his civilians, particularly Patriot missile systems, President Trump agreed to work with him to find what was available particularly in Europe.
The two leaders also agreed on a partial ceasefire against energy. Technical teams will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss broadening the ceasefire to the Black Sea on the way to a full ceasefire. They agreed this could be the first step toward the full end of the war and ensuring security. President Zelenskyy was grateful for the President’s leadership in this effort and reiterated his willingness to adopt a full ceasefire.
President Trump also discussed Ukraine’s electrical supply and nuclear power plants. He said that the United States could be very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise. American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
President Zelenskyy also thanked President Trump for continuing to push humanitarian concerns, including the exchange of POWs. He noted they had just had a successful exchange and thanked the President for his leadership. President Trump

also asked President Zelenskyy about the children who had gone missing from Ukraine during the war, including the ones that had been abducted. President Trump promised to work closely with both parties to help make sure those children were returned home.
They agreed all parties must continue the effort to make a ceasefire work. The Presidents noted the positive work of their advisors and representatives, especially Secretary Rubio, National Security Advisor Waltz, Special Envoy Kellogg, and others. The Presidents instructed their teams to move ahead with the technical issues related to implementing and broadening the partial ceasefire.
The Presidents instructed their advisors and representatives to carry out this work as quickly as possible. The Presidents emphasized that in further meetings, the teams can agree on all necessary aspects of advancing toward lasting peace and security.”
So, there you have it - President Z saying thank you to President Trump, not just thank you to America; a-ha, take that Vice-President JD “you haven’t said thank you lately” and honorary greenlander Vance.
Truth is, President Trump and X were hanging out together because:
1) All of Trump’s main aides were on a war-strike Signal chat together, about a country nobody ever heard of (Yemen), and President “I know nothing about Signal” Trump couldn’t figure out how to get on; and
2) X’s dad was in Wisconsin, handing out $1 Million checks, buying votes in a Supreme Court race that will decide the future State of Humanity, and generally complaining about slumping stocks and empathy.
Kids can have a great effect on the mindsets of politicians. And President Trump likes to have them around - he surrounded himself with girls when he signed an order protecting women’s sports, and he set up a bunch of kids and desks when he signed an executive order terminating the United States Department of Education, pending Congressional approval or, basically, de-authorization of an agency that congress created to do a specific job. The Education Department’s student loan collections will be handled by the Small Business Administration, and its nutrition tasks will be handled by the Department of Health. Linda McMahon will be walking around her giant office building going, “HELLO, does anybody work here? Can anybody get me coffee? HELLO.”
According to the president, No, no coffee or you. Lots of these people who were fired - oh, sorry, reduction in force-d - weren’t working anyway. Former Republican Presidents said they wanted to do away with the Education Department, then realized they could make it advance their agenda. President Trump could not see that far - he never realized that he could “re-direct” the U.S. Department of Education to be the nation’s DEI Police - imagine, 40,000 people roaming the country looking for DEI and eradicating it from websites (ie, Jackie Robinson, ie, Medgar Evers); what an army it could have been. Alas, X, it is a missed opportunity (and X responds with his favorite word, “Shush”).
