Melania Trump Hails ‘Healthy Online Behavior' And People Can't Handle The Hypocrisy
Melania Trump faced a backlash on Twitter after she advocated teaching “healthy online behavior” ― something strikingly at odds with President Donald Trump’s social media practices.
The first lady, while accepting the “2020 Woman of Distinction Award” from Palm Beach Atlantic University on Wednesday, said she was “convinced now more than ever that teaching healthy online behavior is crucial to securing a safer future for our children.”
Critics pounced on the comments to remind Trump ― whose “Be Best” initiative bids to improve children’s lives ― of the vitriol-laden online attacks that her husband launches almost daily:

Define “healthy online behavior” Melania. Please enlighten us!! As Im confident that we are not only NOT on the same page but not even in the same book located in the same country.

Is this woman really serious?
Hard to tell since the most unhealthy behavior online is coming from inside her home.
Which makes the award she is receiving a joke! https://t.co/Aj1hjfgt4F— Steven Diaz (@StevenDiaz317) February 20, 2020
Today, @FLOTUS received a "Woman of Distinction" award from Palm Beach Atlantic University.
That in itself is a fucking joke.
But listening to her promote positive social media use & teaching healthy online behavior, I wanna puke!🤮🤮

@FLOTUS how can you say this with a straight face when you are married to the worst bully and most disrespectful person on the planet? https://t.co/xcEESO8YOk

"I am convinced now more than ever that teaching healthy online behavior is crucial to securing a safer future for our children."
Such hypocrisy.

Yo, Melania—“Teaching healthy online behavior” should start at home!

There are times I wonder if FLOTUS Be Best campaign is directed at POTUS. With her latest speech about retweets and likes defining a person and teaching kids healthy online behavior, my wondering times are starting again. https://t.co/bLJglf3Cqw
