The Rude Pundit @rudepundit
Fun fact: The White House trumpets Talking with Kids about Being Online" as "a booklet by First Lady Melania Trump and the Federal Trade Commission." Except for an intro, it's exactly the same thing Obama's FTC put out.

Because that is how Melania rolls. She knows Obama did it better.

They got theirs. If you don't have yours, it's because you aren't smart like them.

(11,996 posts)It's an FTC publication. And if Melania wrote or even merely signed off on a new intro as it seems, the credit is fine.

Here is the irony, Joe said, It breaks my ❤️!
Joe Scarborough, backer of Trump, 100% until Trump turned on him,threatening to reveal Joe and Mikas dirty secrets! Then Joe turned on Trump like a snake!
Joe is outraged about lying,after the dirty way he has treated Clinton and Hillary all these years!

I doubt she's ever seen that Obama era booklet. Her handlers are just trying to get something done, because she's had a year and a half to get this going, and she hasn't done diddly-squat. Her handlers are just trying to keep their jobs.
I expect that by this time next year, the first floozy will declare "mission accomplished" on cyberbullying and move back to NYC.

On the plus side of this little gem - at least she got someone to write an intro. So there's that.

(27,995 posts)Shouldn't it be "Be the Best" or "Be Your Best"?? I guess grammar and literacy aren't her priorities.
