Trump Asked If Melania Believes Putin Is the ‘Aggressor’ – Something He Has Been Unclear About
Gray TV’s veteran White House correspondent Jon Decker asked President Donald Trump on Monday if First Lady Melania Trump believes Vladimir Putin is the “aggressor” in the Ukraine war, something Trump has been unclear about.
Decker noted that the First Lady penned “a very touching letter” that “was hand-delivered to President Putin, and it calls for an end to the war, essentially, because of the children and the children’s future.”
“Why did the First Lady feel that letter was necessary? Was it because she believed that Mr. Putin is the aggressor in the war? Is a similar letter being hand-delivered to President Zelensky?” he then asked.
“So the First Lady felt very strongly. She’s watched the same thing that you watch and that I watch. I see things that you don’t get to see, and it’s horrible. But she’s got a great love of children, she has a wonderful son that she loves probably more than anybody, including me. I hate to say it, but she loves her son. She loves children. And she hates to see something like this happening. You got that?” Trump replied, adding:
Goes for other wars, too. I mean, she sees the heartbreak, the parents, the funerals that you see on television. Always funerals. We want to see something other than funerals. No, she felt it was a beautiful letter.
It was very well received by him. And she did ask me to say, you know, she would love to see this end. She would love to see it end. And she says it very openly, very proudly, and with great sorrow because so many people have been killed.
Decker asked his question less than a day after Trump raised eyebrows on social media by suggesting Zelensky could “immediately” end the war.
Trump posted to Truth Social, “President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!”
