President Trump suggested Monday that first lady Melania may have helped convince him to ramp up military aid to Ukraine.
As he explained his decision to get tough on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said his wife was one of the people who directly pointed out to him that Putin always backs out of his promises following their phone calls over a peace deal.
“I go home, I tell the first lady, ‘You know, I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.’ She said, ‘Oh, really? another city was just hit,'” he said, recounting one of their recent calls.
The Kremlin has repeatedly fired ever-escalating waves of drone and missiles attacks at Ukraine following the calls with Trump.

She’s fine. But women like her have the mentality of a second grade teacher breaking up a fight. Not the slightest concern about the issue at hand or what started it. Just empty headed “no hitting, both of you go to the office”.
“So if he withdraws Russian troops from Ukraine, it is a signal showing his people that he is weak.
Putin knows he cannot allow that to happen.
Putin will continue the war until he conquers Ukraine.”
And you do not think that is exactly the same with NATO/DC/London/Trump or any other US President?
They have the same precise motivation.
However you wanna slice it, he is covering up an Israeli Mossad operation and billionaire pedos like Bill Gates, professors and leaders of universities, politicians, the Clinton entourage etc.
Sorry, but he did not run on those things. I know a lot of people online talked as if he did and have encouraged each other to see things that way, because of the way they wanted to interpret his positions. But he was never pro-Russia; he bragged about how tough he actually was against Russia. He never ran on cutting off Ukraine; he ran on pressuring both sides to the negotiating table. He’s pressured Ukraine; now he’s trying Russia. He is doing this to try to force a peace in the fashion that he said he would (although as everyone already knew, it was always going to take more than one day).
And of course Melania didn’t tell him to do things; she merely pointed out Putin’s words and actions didn’t match. He absolutely never promised to remove the COVID shot for those who want it, and he’s always been buddies with Lindsay Graham. Yes, the Epstein thing has been handled badly and he said he’d release the files so there is that, though he sort of qualified it a bit, but he hardly ran on it like a campaign issue as some pretend.
His Iran strike was 100% consistent with what he actually ran on. He said over and over and over again that he would not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons and made it clear he would do what was needed to take out their nuclear capabilities if they did not agree to stop themselves. He ran on not starting new unncessary wars and nation building, and he kept his word. He did quick surgical strikes, far less extensive than his multiple bombings of Syria in his first term or even his bombing of Yemen earlier this year. This was more in line with his bombings of known terrorists in Somalia earlier this year or his Soleimani strike in his first term.
It was only a bunch of online influencers who were stirring people up into fantasies of World War III, ground invasions, 20-year occupations that had people falsely believing that Trump was not doing exactly what he said he would, even though there was never any possibility of Trump doing any of the things that the influencers were pretending. This was only people attacking him over things that simply were not real. His foreign policy right now is extremely consistent with his first-term foreign policy.
I am very aware that there are lots of people online especially young ones who have hallucinated all sorts of facutally inaccurate or at least unproven things about Trump and have combined those things with completely unrealistic expectations of what is possible. This has convinced many that Trump is not keeping his campaign promises, when he is doing so better than any president at least in our lifetimes. Of course, it will hurt him, but he shouldn’t allow himself to drop the possitions he’s always held, weaken America’s safety or power, take radical positions antithetical to standard conservatism, or make his administration focus on the latest online conspiracy theories because of it.
Once his policies have time to get the economy booming and the huge ICE funding from the Big Beautiful Bill allows for a big ramp up in deportations, I think he’ll make up for any discontent on the farther edges of the right (although mid-terms are always tricky for the party in power anyway—who the next president is is much more important).
I’m a millenial by the way, not a boomer.
She is from Slovenia, which is not near Russia. She said she speaks five languages but Russian is not one of them.
Thanks.
He’s blaming i9t on his wife?!?!
Agreed, but American Politicans see that first word as at the end of this sentence. “We have to help Israel out, we are all in on “a” greed.
Well you get her as a free bonus. 😉
“Si vis pacem, para bellum”.
