Melania: "Give Focus to Our Next Generation"; October 16, 2020

First Lady Melania Trump: “Give Focus to Our Next Generation”
October 16, 2020

By: Melania Trump
First Lady

Over the last couple of weeks, I have had time to reflect on many things personal to me. One of the most honorable and important roles I have ever undertaken has been serving you, the American people, as the First Lady of this country.

When I thought about where I wanted to put my time and efforts, there was no hesitation. BE BEST has one simple purpose—to help children. It serves to provide the tools children need to prepare them for their futures.

We all know that more often than not, information that could be helpful to children is lost in the noise made by self-serving adults. I have most recently found this to be the case as major news outlets eagerly covered salacious claims made by a former contractor who advised my office. A person who said she “made me” even though she hardly knew me, and someone who clung to me after my husband won the Presidency. This is a woman who secretly recorded our phone calls, releasing portions from me that were out of context, then wrote a book of idle gossip trying to distort my character. Her “memoir” included blaming me for her ailing health from an accident she had long ago, and for bad news coverage that she brought upon herself and others. Never once looking within at her own dishonest behavior and all in an attempt to be relevant. These kinds of people only care about their personal agenda—not about helping others.

Once again, outlets chose to focus their coverage on pettiness over my positive work. There are plenty of opportunists out there who only care about themselves, and unfortunately seek to self-aggrandize by knowingly taking advantage of my goodwill.


Anyone who is focused on tearing things down for their own gain, after knowing what I stand for, has lost sight of what we are here to accomplish and who we are here to serve. To push forward a personal agenda that attempts to defame my office and the efforts of my team, only takes away from our work to help children.

I would say to my team, our supporters, and to all those out there on the frontlines in our communities every day—remember what we are all about and what we are trying to accomplish together. I would remind the media that they have the choice of focusing on our next generation. As a country, we cannot continue to get lost in the noise of negativity and encourage ambition by those who seek only to promote themselves.

Thank you to all who have given us support. Thank you for you tireless efforts and for your love of this country. I look forward to working with you closely over the next four years.

Sincerely,

Melania Trump

time or space to respond to this pitiful onslaught.

Someone who sincerely cares about the future of our children would not be part of an administration that promotes denial of global warming, or tears infants away from their parents.

She does not know all those mult-syllabled words or have original thoughts of her own.

Unlike her predecessors, Melania Trump has kept herself out of the public, not traveling (pre-COVID) to promote her causes, give speeches, give interviews, be out there like Laura Bush and Michelle Obama were for their 8 years. Those women knew how to write and give speches. I believe that their life experiences well prepared them to take charge in that manner. Melania's life experiences have been limited by the man she is married to.

Melania Trump's past endeavors have not prepared her for where she is today. Being the arm candy and 3rd Trophy wife of a megalomaniac like Donald Trump does not endear one to her. Her modeling past is out there on the Internet for all to see.

she's a horrible person that has used her body to jump the citizenship queue at the expense of more deserving immigrants.

I suspect a translator listened to her whine for a couple of hours and put down some words that were understandable. Be Best comrades.

Be Best Melania

“I hardly knew her?” She slept in the third floor of the WH residence while she was working for you. You have intimate conversations with her while dropping the F bomb. What a f’g liar. Just like hubby.
