In February, the president and first lady received a visit from Lilian Tintori, wife of imprisoned Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López. During the 40-minute meeting in which Tintori pled for President Trump to help set her husband free, Melania Trump puzzled those in attendance by claiming she could relate to her husband’s plight.

The Washington Post’s David Nakamura reports that Melania “said she sympathized with the conditions Tintori’s husband, Leopoldo López, faced in jail back in Caracas because the White House often felt as confining as a prison, according to two people familiar with the meeting, a point on which the president agreed.”

Tintori kept cool in the face of the shockingly out-of-touch remarks and managed to emerge with exactly what she wanted. Sort of.

On a whim — without any consultation from advisors and despite the fact that onlookers say Trump did not seem familiar with Tintori and Lopez’s story — the President of the United States contradicted and changed established American foreign policy the only way he knows how: Impulsive tweeting. (Tweet below.)

“Finally, as the meeting ended, the president suggested a group photo…” Nakamura writes. “After a couple of attempts — Trump didn’t like the first photo because he was smiling — the president was pleased enough with the final version, which showed him scowling and giving a thumbs-up sign under a portrait of Andrew Jackson. He promptly posted the photo on Twitter.”

Below is the post from Trump in which he calls on Venezuela — without any thought to broader consequences — to release a political prisoner. Not only has Trump’s impulsivity not led to the release of López, after several months of house arrest, Venezuelan authorities returned him to prison this past Summer.

By all reports, it is much worse than Melania’s life in the White House.

Add your name to millions demanding Congress take action on the President’s crimes. IMPEACH TRUMP & PENCE!
