Melania Trump is taking aim at cyber-bullying and other problems facing children today. My focus has always would be on our children, the next generation. They are our future doctors, nurses, firefighters, scientists, teachers, chefs, generals, pilots, designers, reporters and missionaries just to name a few. The first lady can be in a working group of agencies that work on issues affecting the nation’s youth at the White House Monday. This group was established under President George W Bush and includes government officials and others with ideas and the clout to help children. 

Melania Trump hopes to use the group to enhance her Be Best campaign which she launched last meet to promote the well-being of children and to combat opioid abuse and online bullying. Her initiative is good right. On on its face, it’s good. Content wise it’s good. It’s just that it’s a little jarring against the president that her husband is.

First Lady’s initiatives usually help promote the administration’s goals, but critics point out that Melania Trump’s effort is undermined by the president’s combative behavior on social media. On Monday, President Trump was tweeting about former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential rival in the 2020 election, calling him a low IQ individual. The President himself is one of the biggest bullies in the world. He prides himself on it. That all he knows how to do is attack. Trump also blasted the quote fake news media for blaming him for the New Zealand mosque shooting. The suspect espoused white supremacist ideas and mentioned Trump in his manifesto. There’s a tremendous responsibility of our leaders to denounce the kind of hate that we see increasingly in society, in extreme examples, in mass shootings, but also just an everyday political rhetoric. I feel like it’s irresponsible not to call this kind of hate what it is and to address it head-on.

Despite criticism, Melania Trump is moving forward. There is always an opportunity to do more and today’s meeting is a start. The first lady’s office said her Be Best campaign will promote government resources available for youth and families.
