MELANIA: “Melania Trump said the hardest thing she has to deal with as first lady is feeling like there are people in the media and in the public who trade on her name to advance their own careers…Trump has spoken out in the past about feeling ridiculed by the mainstream media and her husband’s political opponents. She said in an interview with ABC News in October that her feelings of being ‘bullied’ led her to create her cyberbullying initiative ‘Be Best,’ which is her primary policy focus as first lady. Despite her critics, the first lady said she’s not going to shy away from promoting her objectives and doing what she thinks is right for the country.”
