After calling Ukrainian President Zelensky a "dictator" and winking at Putin, he has now changed his mind, announced the deployment of Patriot missile defense systems to Kiev, and issued a 50-day ultimatum to Moscow: a ceasefire or 100% tariffs on Russia...
In the background, always considered more of a dagger than a thinker, belittled by opponents for her poor political skills so far, first lady Melania Trump marks a turning point with the war in Ukraine and marks her moment of glory in the hottest and most complex international crisis since World War II.
All thanks to the revelations of her husband, President Donald Trump, who, at a press conference on Monday at the White House, during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, revealed that he was "disappointed" with Vladimir Putin and announced a change of course with Moscow, suggesting that he had truly understood the Russian leader's duplicity thanks to his wife's private comments after their phone calls with the Kremlin.
"I go home and I tell the first lady: I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a great conversation. She says: 'Really? Another city just got bombed...'" Trump confessed.
Simple but obvious considerations on diplomatic efforts to end the conflict clashing with increasing Russian bombing.
Common sense and feminine pragmatism.
But it was enough to help the White House chief of staff understand the emptiness of Putin's words and make Melania an internet sensation, a major X trend and a meme to remember, dubbed "Agent Melania" or "Melania Trumpenko" by Ukrainians who were ecstatic about the new course and the influence the American president's wife had in changing her husband's heart.
After calling Ukrainian President Zelensky a “dictator” and winking at Putin, he has now changed his mind, announced the deployment of Patriot missile defense systems to Kiev, and issued a 50-day ultimatum to Moscow: a ceasefire or 100% tariffs on Russia. It is no coincidence that the photo of First Lady Melania is trending on the Internet and social media, wearing a blue jacket and the Ukrainian trident (the national emblem), a wide-brimmed hat covering her eyes in the style of 007, working undercover for Ukraine.
After depressing comparisons with former first lady Michelle Obama and Ivanka (Trump's daughter, considered the political heir of the family), Melania is finally getting her revenge. She shows that she has understood the true face of the Russian president even before Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump. A bit like Meaghan Mobbs, the daughter of the US envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, who wrote on X while her father was visiting Kiev: "Noisy night in Kiev, Dad! Maybe it's the explosions and shootings in the middle of the night, but I have a strange feeling that the Russians do not want peace," she said, revealing the Russian deception.
Many users recall that after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it was Melania herself who asked her followers on social media to donate to the Red Cross, saying it was "heartbreaking and terrible to see innocent people suffering."
Many believe that her pro-Ukraine zeal and anti-Putin instincts are a product of her past: born in 1970 in Slovenia, when it was still part of the former Yugoslavia, under the name Melanija Knavs.
A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then. Melania has shown that she has developed intuition since then, as well as 12 cm heels. And Ukraine has discovered in the first lady a valuable ally at a crucial moment. /Adapted from Pamphlet by Il Giornale/
