A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics, Melania Trump tweeted. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.
But many were wondering how the First Ladys words square with the fact that her own husband clearly didnt follow her advice advice thats the main message behind her BeBest anti-bullying campaign which prompted Melania to address the apparent contradiction in a statement released today.
BeBest is the First Ladys initiative, and she will continue to use it to do all she can to help children, read the White House statement released on behalf of Melania. It is no secret that the President and First Lady often communicate differently as most married couples do.
Then, the statement seemed to justify Trumps attack.
Their son is not an activist who travels the globe giving speeches, the statement continued. He is a 13-year-old who wanted and deserves privacy.

Maybe he could show us how sweet he is? A trump family interview like Obama use to do would be interesting.

He should have just congratulated Ms. Thunberg then STFU rather than bully her.
