Melania Trump announced she'll address a cyberbullying conference. Twitter cracked up.

By Alex Bollinger · Friday, August 17, 2018

When it was announced that Melania Trump would be going to Maryland next week to address a conference on fighting cyberbullying, Twitter cracked up.




Her husband is one of the best-known internet trolls, and he uses Twitter to insult and attack people he disagrees with. Who better than other Twitter users to point out the irony of Melania making cyberbullying her issue?








Not everyone is laughing. This is serious.




But the jokes about Melania fighting cyberbullying have been happening for some time.








Even The Hill – a journal not known for calling out powerful people – couldn’t help but point out that Donald Trump just spent the past week throwing insults at Omarosa.




This past March, Melania actually addressed this contradiction. “I’m well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic. I have been criticized by many for my commitment to tackling this issue, and I know that will continue,” she said.

“But it will not stop me from doing what I know is right,” she added. “I’m here with one goal: helping children in our next generation.”

Not that it would bother me or anything, but he really looks bad. Looks like he has a few melanomas and like the booze is eating him from the inside out. Or maybe it's hate. Either way, he does not look long for this world.

pretty words...but words mean nothing. Where are the actions Mrs. orange pustule? I see nothing except you hiding out and avoiding the public as much as you can. Someone that truly wanted to lead this fight would be out there every single day calling out the bullying and working on ways to stop it. Just like her husband Mrs. orange pustule is MIA!

She either has the self/situational awareness of a true psychopath, or she's being manipulated into doing these things.

Either scenario is almost pitiable...





almost.
