Analysis has emerged that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has changed his stance on the Ukraine war and Gaza due to the strong influence of First Lady Melania Trump, who hails from Slovenia in Eastern Europe.
On the 9th (local time), the British daily The Guardian reported that there are many observations suggesting that Melania is behind the change in Trump's stance on Gaza and Russian President Putin.
Megan Mobbs, president of the RT Weatherman Foundation and daughter of Keith Kellogg, Trump's special envoy to Ukraine, recently said in an interview with The Telegraph that the changes in President Trump's attitude toward Russia and Ukraine are thanks to the 'quiet power' of his wife, Melania.
The President himself has also hinted at being influenced by Melania. He said, "When I go home and say, 'I spoke with Vladimir (President Putin of Russia) today. We had a great conversation,' my wife responds, 'Really? I heard another city was attacked.'"
Melania, born in Slovenia, is an immigrant who came to the United States after experiencing changes in the socialist system. For this reason, her understanding of Ukraine and the Eastern European regions of the former Soviet Union is necessarily unique.
President Trump, who had little interest in the tragic situation in Gaza, remarked last month during a visit to the UK, "The children there looked very hungry. We can save many people, especially children. This is real hunger and cannot be faked. Therefore, we will get more deeply involved." The Guardian reported that Melania is also behind this change in stance.
Since the beginning of his second term, President Trump has referred to Melania as his 'top pollster,' publicly revealing that his wife influences his thoughts.
His praise for Melania also aims to gain the 'vote sentiment' of female voters. The Guardian analyzed that 'through Melania, Trump gains opportunities to appeal to various voters' and 'provides Trump with an excuse to change his opinion if necessary.'
