Trump commented on the first lady's influence on the war in Ukraine

"She's very smart. She's very neutral. She's like me - she would like people to stop dying," he said, reiterating that 5,000 to 6,000 to 7,000 people are dying on both sides every week, as well as civilian deaths in cities and towns.

Melania's influence on her husband was talked about after a press conference in the Oval Office on July 14, when Trump talked about the specifics of his conversations with the Russian ruler, according to European Pravda.

"I go home and I say to the first lady, 'I talked to Vladimir today, we had a great conversation.' And she says, 'Oh, really? But they just attacked another city,'" Trump revealed.

He repeatedly reiterated his frustration with Russia.
