Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayHowever, the social media reaction to Meloni’s scorched-earth Trump takedown was overwhelmingly positive.
In an interview broadcast Friday morning on Italy’s La7 network, Trump claimed that Meloni had “begged” him for a photo together, and added that he agreed to do it because he felt sorry for her.
Meloni quickly rejected Trump’s claim on social media, calling his anecdote “completely fabricated” and insisting, “Italy and I do not beg.”
In addition, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced he was canceling this weekend’s previously scheduled trip to the U.S. and called Trump’s claims “serious and offensive” toward his country and the prime minister.
Here is Meloni’s post with the comments translated by MeidasTouch.
Here are Italian PM Meloni's remarks about Trump, translated to English:
"So certain things deserve an immediate response. Donald Trump's statements are completely made up. I am frankly stunned.
I don't know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own… pic.twitter.com/7jdMcoX4ca
Considering how polarizing Trump is, Meloni’s take-no-prisoners response attracted a lot of positive support.
This dust up with Italy is a perfect example of many of Trump's missteps. He tells a blatant lie without any reason, just because he has to sound like people are so willing to grovel to him. The false story gets him nothing and the fallout costs the United States.
— Mike Nelson (@mikenelson586) June 19, 2026Americans are so accustomed to Trump saying something false and insane without pushback or consequence that he must’ve assumed he could take that show on the road with no issue. https://t.co/YPxIHIqobu
— Luke Thomas Gets Political (LTGP) (@LTGetsPolitical) June 19, 2026Only she has the guts to call out his bullshit outright
Disagree with her politics all you want, she’s a woman single-handedly showing every other male leader in NATO how it’s done https://t.co/QDxcN6w5aq
If you think Meloni seems pissed, remember that she recently gave up smoking as well, so she's probably even angrier than that. https://t.co/iaGmuDtRnD
