WASHINGTON — President Trump restarted his feud with Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni over the weekend, deploying a meme-based attack to imply that she is obsessed with him.
On Sunday, Trump posted an image of Meloni gazing up at him with a beatific smile under the caption “Restraining order needed,” recalling their stunning war of words that erupted last month following the G7 summit in France.
The president had disparaged Meloni in an interview with Italian broadcaster La7, saying: “She’s probably happy I talked to her. She wanted a photo with me so much. I wouldn’t have even done it, but I felt sorry for her.”
