Melania's about to make an announcement...watch live

[Anonymous]

“The First Lady entered the White House Grand Foyer at 11:04 AM.

Her remarks lasted six minutes. She did not take questions and left immediately after her remarks.

The First Lady announced that she was keeping an "open channel of communication" with Putin regarding children displaced by the Russia-Ukraine war.

Russia, she says, has agreed to cooperate and since, eight children have been united with their families in the last 24 hours.

The First Lady added that she has "raised concerns" with Putin about those who were minors when they were displaced by the war but have since turned 18. "Russia has agreed to rejoin the individuals who have turned 18 within a short period of time," she says.”

From the guardian:
“Melania Trump in August wrote a letter to Putin and had her husband hand-deliver it during his meeting with the Russian president in Alaska.”

She's making the announcement because soon after her letter was delivered, Putin launched missiles at Ukrainian hospitals and schools. Melania mentioned it to Trump which is when he started supporting Ukraine. People think Putin plays chess yet he decided to publicly offend Trump's wife.

I remember when the press claimed Trump was a Russian spy because he met with Russians to discuss the ban on American adoption of Russian children. Are you going to accuse Melania of spying too?

1. This was the result of the letter she wrote to Putin expressing concern for the children taken to Russia.

2. She didn’t plan to take questions.

3. Exactly what she said. They are communicating about reuniting children with their families.

4. I don’t know. You need to answer that.

He’s not a Russian spy, he’s a Russian asset.

Bravo, Melania. I applaud you.

This is amazing news.

I'm happy for the children and their families.

I have a lot of questions, but this is good news.

How much is she being paid? She does nothing for free.

I would add to your list:

5. What's in it personally for Putin?

6. What's in it personally for Trump?

7. What's in it personally for Melania?

It's worse listening to her fractured Slovenian pidgin English. With all of Trump's money she should have invested a few dollars into ESL class. She has been in this country since 1996 and can barely speak English. ICE should deport her.

Everything is performative or profitable where this admin is concerned.

Literally the only sound I’ve heard come out of her mouth was her “hooyah!”s at that Navy event last week. And I think I’m good forever now.
