During Monday's meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte, Trump repeatedly returned to his wife's stance regarding Russia's war against Ukraine.
According to Trump, he has "always very nice" conversations with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. But then he goes home to Melania - who sees through Putin's bluffs.
I go home and say to the First Lady: I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a fantastic conversation. She says: Oh? Another city has just been attacked.
After another "great" conversation with Putin, Melania Trump is said to have informed her husband that Russia had just bombed a nursing home.
I just said: "What?"
In recent weeks, the President has shifted his rhetoric and expressed increasing frustration towards Putin.
I am disappointed in him, but I am not done with him, says Trump in an interview with BBC on Tuesday.
