Melania Trump exposes Putin purfidity
President Donald Trump admitted on Monday that he may have misjudged Russia’s President Vladimir Putin as a “brilliant” dealmaker who sought fair terms for an end to war with Ukraine. His mind changed, however, only after First Lady Melania Trump intervened.
Shortly after announcing new sales of U.S. arms to NATO allies, some bound for Ukraine, Trump revealed that Melania was the better judge of character after listening to him retell his last call with Putin. She pointed to Putin’s reneging on promises he made to her husband over the phone, something that Trump said became obvious to him after weeks of negotiations.
“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 told reporters in the Oval Office.
“There’s times I’d get home. I’d say, ‘First lady, I had the most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we’re finished.’ And then I’ll turn on the television, or she’ll say to me one time, ‘Wow, that’s strange because they just bombed a nursing home,'” Trump said, recalling another conversation. “I’d say, ‘What?’”
Moscow has repeatedly blitzed Ukraine with missiles following calls between Trump and Putin.
Trump last week appeared to reach a breaking point when he public chastised Putin for “killing a lot of people.”

The First Lady appears to be more aware of what Putin was up to. What is clear is that Putin cannot be trusted when it comes to his aggression in Ukraine.
