MELANIA/TRUMP PEOPLE: “When she unveils her official initiative as first lady on Monday [5-7-18], Melania Trump will follow in the footsteps of other modern first ladies who focused on their passions. Laura Bush championed literacy. Michelle Obama was an advocate for fitness. Mrs. Trump will focus on good behavior on social media as part of a broader initiative that will concentrate on the overall well-being of children…But like the first lady herself, the full details of the plan are likely to remain mysterious even after they are revealed. Her program primarily exists to repackage projects that already exist, including an initiative by the National Safety Council to encourage people to be proactive with talking to their doctors about opioid abuse, and guidelines on child social media activity distributed by the Federal Trade Commission.”
