I don’t intend to beat up on Melania Trump, given all the grief that has fallen on her husband, the president of the United States.
My hope for the first lady is that she’s going to start delivering on her campaign pledge to call attention to cyberbullying, particularly where it involves children.
I figured that Mother’s Day was as good a day as any to mention the first lady’s pledge to put cyberbullying in front of the national consciousness. She is, after all, Mom to a young boy … although it’s highly unlikely that Barron is going to be subject to much — if any — of the behavior that drew Melania Trump’s attention during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Yes, I know about the criticism that came her way from those who said she needed to start at home, by getting Donald Trump to lay off the Twitter tirades. I was one of those critics.
In reality, her cause is a good one. It’s a noble initiative.
If only she couldĀ wrestle some of the attention away from her husband and startĀ organizing the effort to end what she referred to correctly as a “scourge” inflicted on our young people.
