First Lady Melania Trump finds NO LOVE on Twitter......


First Lady Melania Trump took to Twitter for her Back-To-School "BE BEST" message. It did not go over so well. Instead, the responses went the other way and attacked Donald instead.

Melania Trump’s Call For ‘Be Best’ Back-To-School Tips Backfires

The first lady received a huge response — just not the one she was looking for.

Melania Trump @ FLOTUS tweeted this
It’s #Backtoschool for many youth this month. As you begin a new year, how will you be the best you? #BeBest


3:20 PM - Aug 6, 2018

But many of the replies were more about her husband, President Donald Trump, and his less than “Be Best” behavior on Twitter, complete with references to his attack on NBA superstar LeBron James. Some tweeters also slammed the administration for not doing enough to protect students from school shootings, and more than a few attacked the administration’s policy of putting immigrant children into detention centers:

Remember when President Obama recorded an anodyne "stay in school, study hard, be a good citizen" video to be shown the kids at the beginning of the school year? My goodness, it was the outrage of the century in Wingnuttia! Who did the president think he was, encouraging the nation's schoolchildren like that?!

I foresee similar poutrage, egged on by Fox of course, over the shabby treatment accorded Melania by those awful liberals.

Slamming melania for simply telling kids to "be best" is just as stupid as Michelle Obama getting slammed for telling kids to eat their vegetables. The First Ladies dont make policy. Now those proclaiming to be on our side are trying to outdo each other to come up with the cutest version of an insult to try to get re-tweeted. The RW started this crap with the start of Pres Obamas term (would've started it with Clinton, had Twitter existed). And we're happily doing the same shit THEY do. Its no different. Even though we ARE better than THEY are.
And sometimes I wonder if Melania may well be the best asset INSIDE the WH that we have.

Certainly some may disagree, and my troll may very well have to toss his salad of nonsense into the discussion!

racist hateful husband. She visited kids who were ripped from their parent's arms and caged like animals wearing a coat that said: "I don't care, do U?" You can be an apologist for anyone of this trump clowns, still doesn't change the fact of Melania being a hateful racist birther. President Obama tried to do good, these people are not trying to do anything but divide along racial lines. Give me a break on this apology for melania BS. Does not work. Very happily disparaging racist pigs. Yes, you're right.

...when personal accountability for ones actions are applied to themselves.

Then they become 'victims'.

"Tone deaf" my ass, wearing that on that particular trip.
Not only did that "fashion choice" hit a new depths of astonishingly crappy taste, between that and her veritable plagiarism of Michelle's speeches, RWNJ's defending these actions don't have one leg to stand on after 8 years of racist childishness.

it's like the panelist said and I've said it, Melania--good cop, Ivanka--good cop, donald--bad cop. They are not fooling people anymore. Only their shrinking silly, ignorant, hateful and racist base. I will NEVER trust anyone associated with this current administration in D.C. They are evil people.period.

this "first Lady" considering how many times I've seen her naked photos. Not that there is anything wrong with being naked in photos but it's hard to respect someone that is now "first lady" to our country. sheesh.
