John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg donned a blonde wig and spoke in a strong Eastern European accent to read First Lady Melania Trump’s letter to Vladimir Putin asking the Russian leader to restore the “melodic laughter” of children by ending his war against Ukraine.

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.
