• First Lady Melania Trump says she does not always see
  eye-to-eye with her husband, President Donald Trump, regarding
  his inflammatory tweets and verbal attacks he routinely
  launches at people the president perceives as his political
  opponents.
• She commented on that during an ABC News interview that
  aired Friday night.
• Mrs. Trump is spearheading an anti-bullying campaign
  called “Be Best.” She acknowledged that her husband’s verbal
  broadsides contradict the principles of her anti-bullying
  initiative.
• She says the president did not try to stop her from
  launching her campaign.

First Lady Melania Trump says she does not always see eye-to-eye
with her husband, President Donald Trump, regarding his
inflammatory posts on Twitter.

“I don’t agree always what he posts, but his action is his
action,” Trump said during an interview with ABC News. “And I
tell him that.”

Trump, who is spearheading her “Be Best” initiative to
“take responsibility and help our children manage the many issues
they are facing today,” acknowledged that her husband’s rhetoric
on Twitter vastly differs from her campaign’s theme.

“And I know I will be hit with criticism talking about cyber
bullying,” Melania said. “But it will not stop me to do what is
right.”

The president has published a tweet nearly every day after taking
office. Frequently, those message are meant to disparage
political opponents, which sometimes include
derisive nicknames.

Despite the stark contrast between the president’s Twitter habits
and Melania’s anti-bullying initiative, she claimed that he did
not try to stop her from launching her campaign.

“He didn’t say not to do it, he’s very tough on Twitter,” Melania
said. “But he understands that I want to help next generation and
the children.”

For her “Be Best” initiative, Melania partnered with the US
Agency for International Development and made a solo trip to
hospitals in Ghana, elementary schools in Malawi, and an elephant
orphanage in Kenya.

“BE BEST will champion the many successful well-being programs
that provide children with the tools and skills required for
emotional, social, and physical health,” a campaign statement
said on its website.

“The campaign will also promote established organizations,
programs, and people who are helping children overcome some of
the issues they face growing up in the modern world.”
