Melania Trump Attacked in Russian State Media
Newsweek ^ | 7/21/2025 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 07/22/2025 7:27:43 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

A Russian newspaper has disparaged Melania Trump as Kremlin-backed media speculate about whether the first lady is behind President Donald Trump's Ukraine policy.

Pro-Kremlin newspaper Vzglyad said "it would be better for him [Trump] to buy her shoes than to sell Patriots (missiles) to Kyiv" in an op-ed Monday that described the first lady as a "danger to Russia."

Russian state TV has also taken aim at Melania Trump, saying she is responsible for the U.S. president's apparently tougher stance toward Putin which has seen him pledge more weapons for Kyiv and threaten more sanctions on Moscow.

Yes, he did. Why, I don’t know. There are many other ways to describe how his wife influences his policy decisions, but such methods are usually indirect and implied, with no specific country brought into the remark.
Only now, several years after Trump entered politics, does Russia say anything at all about the First Lady.

This is so-o-o exciting. But we probably should wait until Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and the females hounds from our The View media tell us what to think.

Putin doesn’t have a wife.

Putin has a Muslim ex-gymnast baby mama from Uzbekistan that he can’t marry because she’s a Muzzie.

Putin’s wife? Different weight class. His mistress? Now that could be a cage match. But there wouldn’t be much left after Melania finished with her. It’s the wiry ones with reach that will tear you up.

Yeah, I see he had a few.

His gymnast chick will do. Melania better look out. I hear the gymnast was quite flexible.

Russian paranoia in action.

What about US state media on Melania? or even Donald? Wouldn’t make a good wedge, would it?

Them attacking her gives credence to the idea that the Russian Federation is still the Soviet Union.

By all means, buy the little lady more shoes, never imagine she might actually have something useful to impart. After all, she only knows about living in Slovenia at the time when Tito was embracing communism to keep Russia from swallowing Yugoslavia whole. She probably knows more about dangers of living under Russian domination than 90% of the people at the State department and more than 95% of people at the Pentagon. Of course Russia is going to try to destroy her credibility.
