US first lady Melania Trump a secret agent of…? Blamed for changing Donald Trump’s stand on Putin, internet calls her….
Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, is suddenly being talked about a lot on social media. Some people are even jokingly calling her a “Ukrainian agent.” This buzz started because of what former President Donald Trump said about her in connection with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
Trump recently mentioned that Melania played an important role in how he now sees Russian President Vladimir Putin. The President said his wife helped him see the mixed messages in his talks with Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.
Trump said, “I talk to him a lot to try and make peace.” But after the calls, he would feel hopeful—only to later see missiles hit cities like Kyiv. “It happened a few times, and I realized talking doesn’t mean much,” he added.
This week, Trump gave Putin 50 days to agree to a ceasefire or face tough new economic punishments. But Trump also said the deadline isn’t fixed. It could happen sooner, depending on the situation.
After that, many people online started making memes and calling her funny names like “Melania Trumpenko.” The name “Trumpenko” uses “-enko,” a common Ukrainian ending for last names, which usually means “son of a descendant.”
Melania Trump, a strong supporter of Ukraine
Melania Trump is known to be a strong supporter of Ukraine even more than her husband, Donald Trump. She was born in Slovenia, which was once part of the former country Yugoslavia. Slovenia became an independent country in 1991.
When Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022, Melania showed her support for the Ukrainian people. She posted on social media, asking her followers to donate to the Red Cross. She called Ukrainians innocent victims and said it was heartbreaking and horrible to see their suffering.
Social Media turns Melania into a meme
After Trump’s recent comments about how Melania helped him see Putin’s true nature, social media users reacted with humor. Many people started calling her funny names like “Agent Melania Trumpenko.”
Some even shared edited pictures of Melania. In one, she’s seen wearing her inauguration dress with Ukrainian symbols photoshopped onto it. In another meme, her face is half-covered with a black spy-style hat, making her look like a secret agent.
People posted sarcastic comments like:
- “Melania’s secret Yugoslav agent training is finally showing.”
- “Is it just a coincidence that Melania is from Slovenia, a former Soviet country? Looks like Agent Krasnov, a.k.a. Mrs. Trump, was handpicked!”
A Ukrainian magazine, Business, reported that “there is a lot of love on social media tonight for Melania Trump” after the US announced it would send Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine.
Others quickly picked up on the “agent” joke after Trump mentioned her role.
“Melania’s Yugoslav secret agent training kicking in,” wrote one user.
“Anyone thinks it’s a coincidence that Melania Trump is from an ex-Soviet Union country Slovenia? A Russian hand-picked for Agent Krasnov aka Trump,” said another.
