Donald Trump: this dinner between Melania Trump and Vladimir Putin that drove him crazy
From the incredible words to the inappropriate thoughts of Donald Trump, Melania Trump is not about to forget the mandate of her husband. Among the moments that marked his time at the White House, his dinner with Vladimir Putin remains memorable, as revealed in a BBC documentary on February 10, 2021.
Melania Trump won't soon forget her first dinner with Vladimir Putin. In July 2017, the former First Lady of the United States accompanied Donald Trump to Hamburg, Germany, to attend the G20 summit. At the end of this meeting, the leaders gathered for an organized dinner. And if the real estate mogul hoped at all costs to side with the Russian president, it was certainly not to talk about geopolitics and ecology.
As participants could not choose their seat at the table, it was Melania Trump who ended up with the former KGB officer, reports The Independent according to the documentary Trump: Takes on the World, broadcast by the British channel BBC, on Wednesday February 10, 2021. “They could have put her next to anyone in the G20, but no, they had to choose President Putin, knowing full well that everyone would review every interaction,” explained Fiona Hill , Russia's former expert on the United States National Security Council.
Melania Trump petrified by Vladimir Putin
Mad with rage and determined to “sit down with Putin,” the former White House tenant didn't hesitate to sit at their table at the end of the meal. The specialist said: “So President Trump went, which was inevitable, to talk to his wife.” It remains to be seen whether the famous businessman was jealous of his partner or Vladimir Putin that evening ... Unless he tried to make sure Melania Trump was comfortable during the meal.
At the G20, which took place the following year in Helsinki, Finland, Melania Trump again faced the Russian head of state. Far from displaying a smile at the reunion, the former top star was petrified when he shook her hand. Very quickly, the frightened face of the First Lady made the rounds of the Web with the hashtag #SaveMelania ("to save Melania", in French). A hashtag that followed her throughout her companion's tenure, especially during their official appearances together.
