White House Press Sec's 'Your Mom Did' Threatens World Order; Budapest Summit Now Contingent on Parental Approval
Due to the "Your Mom" remark, officials are now seeking to get parental confirmation for all upcoming Trump-y shit shows.
WASHINGTON D.C. / BUDAPEST
The high-stakes peace summit between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, expected to be held in Budapest, has been plunged into a diplomatic quagmire after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to a reporter's query about the location choice with the now-viral retort: "Your mom did."
What was intended as a flippant rejection of the media's legitimate question—which highlighted the political significance of meeting in Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's capital—has now escalated into an international incident of unprecedented puerility.
The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFA) released a formal, yet visibly bewildered, statement hours later, demanding clarification on the bizarre paterfamilias policy now seemingly guiding U.S. foreign affairs.
"We have reviewed all minutes pertaining to the establishment of Budapest as a geopolitical hub," the MFA statement read. "We are unaware of any maternal involvement in the Treaty of Trianon, let alone the selection of a venue for a high-stakes peace summit. We urge the American Executive Branch to confirm whether complex international negotiations are now run by an anonymous, unspecified matriarch. Is this a new multilateral format? The 'Mom Summit'?"
The New Standard for Diplomacy
The diplomatic fallout stems from a private text message Leavitt published on social media in which she launched a full-scale personal attack on the journalist, HuffPost's S.V. Dáte, before providing the playground-level response.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung immediately defended the use of the 1980s schoolyard comeback, stating it was "more than appropriate" because the journalist was "not a real reporter" but a "Democrat activist."
"We’ve established a new red line," Cheung later clarified in an impromptu briefing held in a hallway outside the press room. "If you ask a question we don't like, one that involves inconvenient facts or context, the answer defaults to Your Mom. It's the ultimate rhetorical defense: simple, universal, and utterly devoid of accountability."
Meanwhile, sources close to the Budapest summit preparations report that the entire itinerary is on hold. The Hungarian delegation is now reportedly awaiting a certified affidavit, signed by an officially recognized parental unit, confirming the exact logistical and diplomatic reasoning behind the chosen location.
Putin's Mother Unavailable for Comment
In Moscow, the Kremlin initially dismissed the spat as "American decadence," but quickly grew concerned when they realized the new protocol could jeopardize the talks. Russian state media is now reporting that President Putin is "frantically attempting to contact his mother" to see if she was, in fact, responsible for the location choice, and if she could also approve a ceasefire agreement.
"President Putin's mother is, unfortunately, deceased and therefore unavailable to verify the White House's claim," stated a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman. "We consider the lack of verifiable maternal consent to be a serious obstacle to global peace."
The spokesman concluded, "Next time, perhaps they can suggest a more Adulting location."
