Putin Has A Melania Trump Problem

Member Group : Keith Naughton

Of all the people in the White House not to end up on the wrong side of, outside of President Trump, I would put Melania Trump at the top of the list.

Very private and not at all liking politics (although far too classy to constantly whine about it, unlike a certain former first lady), Melania Trump has taken a very low profile. But that doesn’t mean she is uninvolved.

In fact, Trump himself revealed the first lady is not buying Putin’s soft-soap routine. USA Today reported that when the president told Melania about Putin’s desire for peace, she quickly noted that Russia had just bombed another city, killing more civilians. In response, Russia’s ham-handed propaganda machine went on the attack, peddling nasty gossip and calling her a “danger to Russia.”

But the first lady was not about to engage. To all appearances, she had a far more shrewd and effective response in mind. Her letter to Putin was a clear shot at the Russians. In the letter, she essentially says that Putin and the Russians abducted Ukrainian children, and she wants them released. Melania did not call Putin a war criminal, but that conclusion is just a step away.
