From 'Little Marco' to 'Cryin' Chuck,' all hail Melania Trump's cyberbullying campaign
As First Lady Melania Trump embarked on her campaign to tackle cyberbullying, luminaries from across the nation cheered her on with the same level of respect her husband has shown them.
“Little Marco” Rubio, “Crooked Hillary” and captured coward prisoner of war John McCain nodded in approval. "Low Energy" Jeb, Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren and “Lyin’ Ted Cruz” were equally impressed with the first lady's keen understanding of how bullies are the most insecure and desperate people in society, with many also being impulsive narcissists.
Given the remarkable level of restraint and dignity President Bone Spurs has shown in conducting his life and presidency, it was heartwarming to see his third wife with her well-manicured finger on the pulse of cyberbullying victims. So real. So sincere. And, like her husband, so brave.

But let's get serious. When a cyberbully creates a Twitter account with 49 million followers (millions of them fake Twitter “bots”) for the sole purpose of cyberbullying political opponents and critics, those thousands of fake reply notifications give the false impression that the target of the bullying faces huge levels of opposition. Conversely, the notifications falsely paint the one favored by the fake accounts as enjoying more support than he actually does.
