Melania Trump considers herself the most bullied person in the world
US First Lady, Melanie Trump has said she chose cyber bullying as her pet cause because she is the most bullied person in the world.
“I could say I’m the most bullied person on the world,” Mrs Trump told ABC News in an interview that took place during her trip this month to Africa when asked why cyber bullying was her pet cause.
She said further: “I could certainly be one of them, if you really see what people saying about me.” adding that that’s “why my ‘Be Best’ initiative is focusing on social media and online behavior.”
The ABC hinted that it would release the full clips of the interview on Friday (today), after releasing clips of it on Thursday.
The 48-year-old former model has no doubt been the butt of jokes and some uncomplimentary comments from online users and the media, especially for her attire during last week’s trip to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.
