Melania Trump Is Getting Roasted For Her Tweet About the "Legacy" of "Be Best"
"The legacy of #BeBest is that your husband is banned from social media."
As the days of the Trump administration come to a close, First Lady Melania Trump is hanging tight to her #BeBest initiative, the anti-bullying program she started during her time in the White House. And, as has been the case for the last four years, people were not letting her off the hook for promoting anti-bullying while her husband Donald Trump is public bully #1, on and offline.
On Friday, the first lady tweeted about the "legacy" of Be Best ending at the White House, urging people to "give a voice to our Nation's children & the issues that impact their lives." Bold, for someone who has been part of an administration known for separating migrant children from their parents.
As the legacy of #BeBest comes to a close at the @WhiteHouse, we must continue to give a voice to our Nation's children & the issues that impact their lives. It's the values & spirit of the American people that inspired Be Best & it's those values that will carry on its mission. pic.twitter.com/fRBTWphmlj

As such, Twitter users didn't hesitate to let Melania know exactly what they thought, pointing out the irony of her Be Best campaign in light of Donald Trump being kicked off social media for using it to incite a deadly coup.

Thank you, First Lady. Your Be Best initiative cleared social media of its biggest cyber bully. Thank you for your effort and all you’ve done. pic.twitter.com/mSj6nMuUW1

#BeBest has been a painfully absurd fraud. Your husband tried to bully a nation into keeping him in power—and as a result five people died and the US was traumatized. Let’s hope the legacy here is one of oblivious hypocrisy. (Oh yeah, caged kids. He did that, too.) https://t.co/M2ZQONY32w

What legacy? Your husband demonstrated to children all over America that bullying wasn't just okay, it was something the President of the United States does. He modeled childish temper tantrums and insults for four years. That's your legacy, lady. https://t.co/d0wNRT5hRv

Here’s an issue that impacts children’s lives: The Trump administration ripped thousands of immigrant children away from their parents. More than 600 are still separated. https://t.co/VU562TGYo4

It's not the first time she's been called out for feeble attempts at promoting anti-bullying. After people called on her to speak out after her husband bullied teen activist Greta Thunberg online, she released a statement reading, in part, "It is no secret that the President and First Lady often communicate differently — as most married couples do."
