With a particular focus on social media, Melania Trump, the first lady, has long said she wants to curb online bullying and harassment as part of a nascent effort to improve the lives of American children. There’s one problem: Mrs. Trump’s efforts often clash with the president’s longtime habit of using social media to insult people. In a speech, she said that she had received letters from children who have been bullied or feel threatened on social media. “I am well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic,” Mrs. Trump said on Tuesday. I am here with one goal: helping children and our next generation.”So far, Mrs. Trump is working on this initiative independently of her husband.
