Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy, took aim at first lady Melania Trump and her letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin in a mocking video on social media.
On Monday, Schlossberg, 32, posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, where he sported a blonde wig and read aloud Trump’s letter to Putin while imitating her accent. The clip has 400,000-plus views on the platform as of this writing.
Schlossberg, known for his controversial online presence, wrapped up his video by criticizing the letter, adding while still imitating her voice, “What am I saying, this makes no sense. Please be more specific, Miss Melania Trump.”
“A message from our BEAUTIFUL FIRST LADY thank you for your attention to this matter!!” Schlossberg captioned his post.
In the first lady’s “peace letter” to Putin, which was obtained by Fox News on Friday, she told the world leader “it is time” to protect children and future generations worldwide. Though the letter did not specifically mention Ukraine or Russia’s invasion of the country, it was hand-delivered to Putin by President Donald Trump ahead of their summit in Alaska last week. The Trump-Putin meeting was met with scrutiny after the pair ended the summit without reaching a ceasefire in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“Dear President Putin,” the first lady’s letter begins. “Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.”
Elsewhere in the letter, she directly told him, “Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter. In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone—you serve humanity itself.”
She wrapped up her letter by telling Putin: “It is time.”
Reps for Melania Trump and Schlossberg did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s requests for comment.
The first lady has not yet publicly addressed Schlossberg’s video.
Meanwhile, Trump publicly praised his wife’s letter to Putin while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday.
“She loves children, and she hates to see something like this happening, and that 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,” Trump said.“It was a beautiful letter.”
