Melania Trump to mark one year of 'Be Best' next week

First lady Melania Trump will mark the first year anniversary of her child-focused initiative, "Be Best," in a celebration at the White House next week.

The Tuesday event will feature three — so far unnamed — guest speakers who "represent one of the three pillars of her initiative, and other guests who embody what 'Be Best' is all about," Trump's press office said in a new release.

“I am looking forward to this celebration,” the first lady said in a statement. “Next week will not only be an opportunity to thank so many leaders and innovators for their contributions to making 'Be Best' a success, but a chance to come together as a community and set plans for expanding the initiative in the coming year as we work towards building a greater future for our children.”

In launching "Be Best" last May, Trump said the campaign would have three areas of focus: well-being, social media use and opioid abuse. “Let us teach our children the difference between right and wrong, and encourage them to Be Best in their individual paths in life,” Trump said.

Also sure she doesn't read anything that matters. She has way too much to lose if she squawks. God only knows what 45 has threatened her with. She probably just focused on Baron and her appearance.

Look, all of these pictures are bad enough, but she was also an illegal immigrant. Good evangelical christians are able to forgive both I guess. Heck, she's white and married (for the time being) to their messiah.

is she capable of reading his tweets or hearing what he says at his rallies. Is that what she considers being best. She is as useless as Ivanka and Jared in her role, as they are in theirs. Plus Donnie is the most stupid useless one of all of them. What a nightmare we are living in.

She came up with some stupid-ass, grammatically incorrect slogan, and to my knowledge that is all she has done.

What programs has she implemented? What causes has she raised funds for? When was she out their being a spokesperson for her ridiculous anti-bullying campaign?

She is as stupid and hypocritical as that fat slob of a husband of hers. The fact that she stays married to him only makes me despise her more.

... According to Rebozo, the two men were swimming together at Rebozo's home in June 1972 when Nixon was first informed of the Watergate Hotel break-in. And he was with the president on the night that Nixon resolved to resign from the presidency. John Dean, Nixon's lawyer, testified before the House Judiciary Committee he was ordered to covertly direct government agencies to punish a journalist who called Rebozo "Nixon's bagman." Rebozo was investigated for accepting covert payments of $100,000 on behalf of Nixon. Journalist Jack Anderson speculated that Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox had been fired because he had started to investigate Rebozo's role in Nixon's accepting covert payments ...
