JFK's grandson has trolled the First Lady for writing a letter to Vladimir Putin.
On Friday (August 15), US President Donald Trump came face-to-face with his Russian counterpart in a historic meeting in Alaska.
The meeting was scheduled as the POTUS hoped to urge Putin to come to a peace deal with Ukraine amid the lengthy ongoing war.
Despite three hours of chatting and a 12-minute press conference, Trump and Putin emerged to confirm no ceasefire or deal had come from the meeting, with the POTUS saying the two had ‘agreed on most points’, while Putin suggested another meeting, but ‘next time in Moscow’.

However, the Moscow leader had some additional food for thought to consider, as White House officials revealed that the First Lady had gotten her husband to hand-deliver a letter about the matter.
In her note, Melania Trump raised concerns about the safety of Ukrainian children who have been taken from their homeland by the Russians without parental consent and urged Moscow to protect the youngsters' innocence.
Now, John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg, has weighed in on the matter by savagely mocking Melania in an Instagram video.
Sporting a short blonde wig and a heavy attempt at a foreign accent, in a nod to Melania's Slovenian roots, he read out her entire letter from start to finish, though occasionally skipped over the odd word and mispronounced others.
He captioned his post on Instagram: "Message from our beautiful First Lady — THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER — we want peace!"
At the end of his 'dramatic reading' of the letter, the 32-year-old political commentator added in Trump's supposed accent: "What am I saying? This makes no sense. Please be more specific, Ms Melania Trump."
Then, giving up the character and the wig, Schlossberg revealed why he took issue with the letter, stating: "I don't think it made any sense.
"I don't think it said anything besides 'melodic laughter', that's the only thing that I can remember, and that she is calling on Putin to end the war.
"Hm, interesting. Maybe she could talk to somebody who could do something about that...," he jibed.
Schlossberg concluded: "A very confusing letter. A very confusing message. Not that confusing of a conflict in Ukraine."
UNILAD has contacted The White House for comment.
In full, Melania Trump's letter read: "Dear President Putin, every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation's rustic countryside or magnificent city center. They dream of love, possibility and safety from danger."
She continued: "As parents, our duty is to nurture the next generation's hope. As leaders, the responsibility is to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few.
"Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all - so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded.
"A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity - an innocence which stands above geography, government and ideology.
"Yet in today's world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them - a silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future," the First Lady added.
"Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter.
"In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone - you serve humanity itself.
"Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today.
"It is time."
