First lady Melania Trump is making good on a promise she made earlier this year to combat childhood bullying, taking a surprise trip Monday to a middle school in a Detroit suburb.

Trump is bringing awareness to a problem that many children are confronted with on a daily basis. She will give brief remarks to students and then join them for lunch as they participate in a "No One Eats Alone Day" event. The concept, which encourages kids not to leave anyone out at lunchtime, was created by Beyond Differences, a national organization that works to combat detrimental school culture and prevent bullying.

"In doing research for her platform, the first lady learned of #NoOneEatsAlone," Trump's communications director Stephanie Grisham told CNN. "She wants to talk to kids about the importance of being inclusive and the negative effects of social isolation. This kind of activity also fosters integrity and leadership in young kids."

Last month during a United Nations speech in New York City, Trump said she intended to use her position as first lady of the United States to help with issues facing children. She included bullying in her list of concerns.

"Together, we must acknowledge that all too often it is the weakest, most innocent and vulnerable among us -- our children -- who ultimately suffer the most from the challenges that plague our societies," the first lady had said. "Whether it is drug addiction, bullying, poverty, disease, trafficking, illiteracy or hunger, it is the children who are hit first and hardest in any country. And as we all know, the future of every nation rests with the promise of their young people."...read more at the link

1. Wish a kid

Would stand up and tell her her spouse is a bullying ass hole pussy grabber....

[HipChick]

2. Has she looked over at who she is sleeping with? They can trot out Squinty

as much as they want, she always seems fake and ingenious..I'm glad MSNBC cut away from her speaking..

[Corgigal]

3. Who cares?

I guess it's better then being at the house.

Ask her, as a mother, why was that solders body missing for 48 hours? We won't see her again.

[riversedge]

4. "She wants to talk to kids about the importance of being inclusive.."; But kids can Teach *Melania

about this. She should listen instead of her talking!

[GreenEyedLefty]

5. That's my kids' middle school.

I am glad my youngest is in high school.

[Freethinker65]

10. Which suburb is she visiting?

[GreenEyedLefty]

11. West Bloomfield

I'm stopping by the building tomorrow morning and will try to find out how this came about.

[Freethinker65]

19. Very nice area. Great schools. Was pretty sure Melania would visit somewhere in Oakland County.

I grew up in GPW, and had my first house in SCS. Moved to Chicagoland 17 years ago.

[Mike Nelson]

6. I hope a kid asks her...

..."Why is it okay for adults like President Trump to bully, but not kids?"

[Submariner]

7. This WH is such an insult it brings out the worst

sorry.

[burnbaby]

13. wow!

what a woman chooses to do with her body is of no concern to you. It was here right and her decision.

I find your post offensive

[CatWoman]

20. not as offensive as yours

[burnbaby]

29. As my what? Nt

[Polly Hennessey]

30. And it is our right to have an opinion

on her choices. What you do in life has consequences. When I was younger I chose not to have photos showing certain parts of my body because “guess what” they might pop up somewhere in my future. If she decided to earn her living that way then suffer the conquences.

8. Two very big things that are harmful to children:

having air and water that is polluted and not having access to higher education.


(note: I was bullied as a child so I am not making light of the issue of bullying.)

[Initech]

21. And also having right wing fundamentalist Christian parents.

[Aristus]

9. Transcript:

"Schtopp ze bullyink or my khosbond vill beat you opp!"

[a kennedy]

12. Ok, ok, ok, I give.....

[maryellen99]

14. Im surprised they went to West Bloomfield Township

HRC won there 57% to 38%.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

28. MI GOP has their sights on Oakland County

They are pushing to make inroads into Oakland and shore up what they have in Macomb. Those 2 counties have enough votes to dampen Wayne County's voting influence.

[louis-t]

15. Coupla empty speeches and she'll be on her way.

Nothing more will come of it. They just don't know how to get anything done. Lip Service is their motto.

[louis-t]

16. Uh, and by the way, West Bloomfield is not "Detroit".

It's a very wealthy suburb.

[maryellen99]

23. Which went for HRC 57-38

[MineralMan]

32. So, she's speaking to those with privilege?

How appropriate...

[GoCubsGo]

17. "Look at the bright, shiny object, everybody!!!!"

I hope all will join me in ignoring this dog and pony show.

[Ilsa]

18. Well, she has a fresh, perfect example of childish bullying

to give the kids: DOTUS' tweets this morning.

[Initech]

22. Hey Melania! If you want to get serious about cyber bullying, divorce your husband!

He is the biggest cyber bully of them all!

[SummerSnow]

25. I bet he cyberbullies her..

[cwydro]

24. No words..

She is married to the biggest bully in the world.

[milestogo]

26. Why doesn't she address safe drinking water in Flint?

Another subject her spouse doesn't care about.

[SummerSnow]

27. Someone should ask her. Love to know her answer.

[Vinca]

31. #999 in the book "You Can't Make This Shit Up."

[Rene]

33. Reads teleprompter to each side....like her husband.. Someone else's words, not their own.
