Melania Trump to condemn bullying at U.N. luncheon

Source: Politico

First lady Melania Trump on Wednesday will advocate for children and will denounce bullying, according to excerpts of her speech for a luncheon at the United Nations.

"No child should ever feel hungry, stalked, frightened, terrorized, bullied, isolated or afraid, with nowhere to turn," the first lady will say, according to excerpts of her speech. "We need to step up, come together, and ensure that our children's future is bright."

Melania Trump said children are "hit first and hardest in any country" when it comes to "drug addiction, bullying, poverty, disease, trafficking, illiteracy, or hunger."

First spouses of world leaders and thought leaders in various communities will be present at the luncheon.

Really, what has she done other than talk about it? Has she advocated for special regulations to protect children?

neither should any ADULT. Just spend the cash, and keep your Botoxed face out of sight. Supposedly she speaks 5 languages. Too bad one of them isn't English after all her years living in this country. That "fact" along with her "two University degrees" had to be removed from her profile after the truth about her came out. tRump always lies about his "wives" He said Ivana was an Olympic skier!! His daughter/wife supposedly was a "very successful model" Yeah, right. That was BEFORE she had her face rearranged and Botoxed to the hilt. Fake family, fake president, fake "leader"

Claim a sudden onset of a phobia or something and withdraw from the public eye. It's painful to watch you publicly bleed out whatever self-respect you might have left.

check your previous speeches.

Melania nowadays has a perpetually miserable look. It must be tough being married to the most hated man on the planet.

She could set an example if she was really concerned. She's exposed not only her child, but all of our children to the nastiest bully who exemplifies all of those things wrapped into one. She could expose this fucker to the world and free her child from the life of hell that will be his until his father dies.
