JFK grandson Jack Schlossberg wears wig to troll Melania Trump
A photo of Melania and her letter floated on the screen during the mocking video that Schlossberg, 32, posted to Instagram Sunday.
'Dear President Putin,' his video begins, as did the first lady's letter.
President Trump handed that note to Putin when the Russian president traveled to Alaska Friday to meet with Trump and members of his administration. The letter was posted on social media Saturday. In it, Melania appealed to Putin as a parent who should understand the toll a war has on children.
'Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly (sic) restore their melodic laughter,' the first lady wrote of young people impacted since his February 2022 invasion of his neighbor's country. 'In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself.'
After reading that letter, Schlossberg stays in character for a moment asking, 'What am I saying? This makes no sense.'
He then removed the wig and in his own voice called the first lady's letter 'confusing' while claiming the war in Ukraine, which began with an unprovoked attack, is wholly uncomplicated.
Schlossberg sometimes uses his Instagram to taunt the wives of political figures he disagrees with, including his uncle, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is married to actor Cheryl Hines.
Hines told the Wall Street Journal last week that she doesn't 'understand what's going on with' Schlossberg and didn't want to give him unwarranted attention by speculating.

'Guilty Conscience': Trump's Raw Confession About 'Heaven' Has People Wondering
President Donald Trump surprised his critics on Tuesday by revealing that he's worried about what will happen to him after he dies. 'I want to try and get to heaven if possible,' Trump confessed during a Fox News interview. 'I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole.' Trump made the unexpected comments while he spoke about efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Doing so, he said, would save lives and give him a better chance of passing through the Pearly Gates. 'If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons,' he said. Trump met last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and this week met with European leaders as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss ending a conflict he once said he could solve in 24 hours. However, he has so far received no commitments from Putin, who launched the war by invading Ukraine in early 2022. But for Trump's critics, it was his sudden concern about a potential afterlife and how he'll spend it that caught their attention.

This Ukraine Summitry Is All Reality TV, Zero Substance
So much has happened in recent days, it's easy to overlook how little has happened. To wit: Nothing material. Not when it comes to matters of war and peace in Ukraine, where Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to bomb civilians, to detain children (for which he is wanted by the International Criminal Court) and more generally to terrorize a sovereign nation that he considers an errant satrapy. That, however, is not the impression you may have formed if, like me, you've been following the summitry and pageantry on YouTube, TikTok, X, Truth Social or your medium of choice. In the endless scroll of our screens, one meme chases another while all orbit around the bright yellow-orange star of the show, Donald Trump. The medium is the message, the philosopher Marshall McLuhan observed six decades ago. And the message today is that this US president — for better or worse — is shaping world affairs.

NATO defense chiefs hold virtual meeting on Ukraine security guarantees
NATO defense chiefs were due to hold a virtual meeting Wednesday, a senior alliance official said, as countries pushing for an end to Russia's war on Ukraine devise possible future security guarantees for Kyiv that could help forge a peace agreement. Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO's Military Committee, said that 32 defense chiefs from across the alliance would hold a video conference as a U.S.-led diplomatic push seeks to end the fighting. U.S. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe, will take part in the talks, Dragone said on social platform X. U.S. President Donald Trump met last Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and on Monday hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and prominent European leaders at the White House. Neither meeting delivered concrete progress. Trump is trying to steer Putin and Zelenskyy toward a settlement more than three years after Russia invaded its neighbor, but there are major obstacles. They include Ukraine's demands for Western-backed military assurances to ensure Russia won't mount another invasion in coming years. 'We need strong security guarantees to ensure a truly secure and lasting peace,' Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post Wednesday after Russian missile and drone strikes hit six regions of Ukraine overnight. Kyiv's European allies are looking to set up a force that could backstop any peace agreement, and a coalition of 30 countries, including European nations, Japan and Australia, have signed up to support the initiative. Military chiefs are figuring out how that security force might work. The role that the U.S. might play in is unclear. Trump on Tuesday ruled out sending U.S. troops to help defend Ukraine against Russia. Russia has repeatedly said that it would not accept NATO troops in Ukraine. Attacks on civilian areas in Sumy and Odesa overnight into Wednesday injured 15 people, including a family with three small children, Ukrainian authorities said. Zelenskyy said the strikes 'only confirm the need for pressure on Moscow, the need to introduce new sanctions and tariffs until diplomacy works to its full potential.' ___ Follow AP's coverage of the war in Ukraine at
