WASHINGTON, DC: Just hours before speaking with Vladimir Putin about a possible ceasefire in the Ukraine war, US President Donald Trump has rejected suggestions that he is a lackey of the Russian dictator.

While signing two executive orders including one to change the name of his official residence to the Red House following overnight repainting, (main picture) Mr Trump labelled suggestions that he was doing Putin’s bidding as “fake news” or as he put it: “feykovyye novosti”.

He lied it was “just a complete coincidence” that he had decided to repaint and change the name of the former White House.

Mr Trump signed the latest executive orders while seated in a newly constructed reviewing stand on the northern boundary of the Red House grounds overlooking the now former Lafayette Square.

He said the new stand would allow him to appear at daily parades of military vehicles and equipment including tanks, missiles, drones, and hundreds of armed troops.

While watching today’s parade (below) Mr Trump signed an executive order changing the name of Lafayette Square to Red Square.

Anticipating questions about his motives for both names changes, Mr Trump lied: “The fake news media will try to say the new names have something to do with Russia, but that’s not true.

“I mean I just like the colour red, besides this square had a crazy name anyway. La Fiat? Nobody knows what that is. A French name for an Italian car? Gimmee a break,” he lied.

“I just changed the name to honour that great comedian I loved as child, Red Skelton,” he lied again.
