Melania Trump Is Very Upset By People Who Bully Others On The Internet
Melania Trump Is Very Upset By People Who Bully Others On The Internet

BERWYN, Pennsylvania ― Melania Trump returned from political exile on Thursday by making a rather eyebrow-raising claim: as first lady, she would combat bullying. That anti-bullying campaign, however, likely wouldn’t extend to her husband.
“Our culture has gotten too mean and too violent,” the wife of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a crowd here in the suburbs of Philadelphia. “It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked. It is terrible when that happens on the playground and it is unacceptable when it’s done by someone with no name hiding on the internet.”
Melania Trump has kept a low profile since it was revealed that parts of her 2016 Republican National Convention address were lifted from Michelle Obama’s address to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Since that time, Trump, who was regularly by her husband’s side during the Republican primary, has been largely absent.
Her absence made the peculiar focus of her address all the more perplexing. Her husband has become infamous for his bullying ― both online and in person ― of virtually anyone who appears to oppose him. In fact, the National Education Association recently began a campaign to raise awareness of a “Trump effect,” in which children feel emboldened by the candidate’s behavior to engage in bullying.

Oh the irony! 
“It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked. It is terrible when that happens on the playground and it is unacceptable when it’s done by someone with no name hiding on the internet.”
So, um, Mel, walk with me, talk with me...
What if the bully's name is known, and he's shockingly not a 12 yr old, but is a septuagenarian?
Oh, just in case you're missing the point, that man is Donald Trump...
SHE'S GOTTA BE FUGGIN PULLIN A PRANK ON THE MEDIA, RIGHT?
I mean really?
Then again, if he won 
perhaps she'd just do token appearances on a few shows to start with, and do really minor amounts of work. I don't find her all that bright (clearly... she married him), and I think she'd rather be the wife of a billionaire, then ya know, actually have to work on some pet projects - and again, like I said, WORK.
