Valerie Jarrett confidentially flew in a doctor from DC yesterday and he gave me some tablets that have calmed me considerably in the wake of those taunting calls from Pootin. In fact, since El-Sissi won't speak to me, I will call Pootin. Valerie says I am getting the hang of this diplomacy thing, It's 11pm in Moscow according my iPresidentophone. I speed-dialled Pootin. " Da." He said. "Vlad...Vlad... wherefore art thou, Vlad?" said a breathless woman's voice. Pootin was obviously auditioning his Shakespearean actress again. "Never mind, Vlad", I said " You sound busy. I'll call you in the morning." He said something muffled and hung up. But that's enough about me.
