NEED TO KNOW
- White House celebrates Melania’s “first fully original letter” to President Putin
- Staff monitored her laptop to prevent copy/paste from past First Lady speeches
- Experts still describe the message as “pageant-style world peace prose”
WASHINGTON, DC — The White House proudly announced Wednesday that First Lady Melania Trump wrote an original letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to senior officials, it marks the first time she did not rely on any previously published Michelle Obama speech. The message focuses on peace, childhood dreams, and global unity.
Insiders say the writing process took several hours. Two aides reportedly stood behind Melania’s laptop with a ruler to discourage copy and paste shortcuts. One staffer confirmed that “no parts of the 2008 DNC speech were even typed” and called the effort “a major breakthrough in domestic writing operations.”
Several analysts reviewed the letter and confirmed it did not match any past White House speech. However, many said it still reads like the final round of a beauty pageant. Professors from three universities pointed to lines such as, “every child has a dream in their heart,” and “together, we paint a future full of dignity.” Those exact phrases appear in at least five Miss Universe finalist answers between 2003 and 2010.
Linguistics expert Gloria Perez praised the letter for avoiding Plagiarism but questioned the substance. “This isn’t progress. It’s simply the bare minimum of original writing,” she said. “Let’s not give out trophies for basic honesty.”
When asked about her next writing project, Melania allegedly said she would start as soon as she finishes listening to Michelle Obama’s audiobook “for ideas.”
Quote of the moment
“This still feels less like a policy letter and more like something whispered before handing over a pageant crown.”
