Melania launched an initiative yesterday. Although the pamphlet is plagiarized from an effort by the Obama administration, the premise is valid.

“When children learn positive online behaviors early-on, social media can be used in productive ways and can effect positive change.”

It continues: “Mrs. Trump believes that children should be both seen and heard, and it is our responsibility as adults to educate and reinforce to them that when they are using their voices — whether verbally or online — they must choose their words wisely and speak with respect and compassion.”

This effort to end ‘cyber-bullying’ is admirable. It’s too bad Melania’s huge and abusive husband fails to share her beliefs; he has no idea what ‘respect’ and ‘compassion’ mean. He sent out this tweet, cyber-bullying Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer at 7:30 this morning.

“Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer fought hard against the Bad Iran Deal, even going at it with President Obama, & then Voted AGAINST it!” Trump wrote. “Now he says I should not have terminated the deal — but he doesn’t really believe that!”

Maybe Melania should tell her husband, ‘for now,’ to shut up and grow up! But it is obvious that they rarely talk to each other. And who can blame her for not wanting to be in the same room with an obese and hate-filled old man.

Schumer responded with his own tweet; “BeBest;” which happens to be the title of Melania’s initiative.

Trump makes it all too easy; he is a fool and everyone has learned to accept that fact. Trump has no shame, dignity or class. He is an embarrassment to every man, woman, and child in our nation.

Trump obviously considers Melania’s initiative a ‘waste of time,’ and that it doesn’t apply to him.

Remember the eight years we had an American president who was able to accept criticism and handle it with the grace of a man who was intelligent, and cared about all of our nation’s people? I truly miss President Obama.
