3. Why is Melania getting a pass?

By picking someone allegedly bullied because his name is Trump, how is she "being best" by having to turn her campaign into something about Trump? Donald has to be at least a sort of "co-victim" or they are not interested?

Then no one would be inspired to bully little Joshua. This is all the fault of KGOP republican Comrade Dirty Donny.

STOP REPUBLICAN BULLYING !

He's a perfect example of what you should teach your children about bullying. If my children were still young, I'd be telling them every day, "NEVER, EVER treat anyone like the president treats others. Do exactly the opposite." Now when in my lifetime has this country ever had to use the president as an example of how not to behave?

I will never be able to wrap my mind around it.

12. That anti-bullying crap is just a distraction from the real Bullier in Chief, tRumpolini himself.

They get Melania out in front talking her blather about stopping bullying when the giant elephant in the room is tRump. He has bullied since childhood and is not about to stop now. But traditionally First Ladies have an issue or problem they feature or ostensibly address. So THIS 1st Lady conveniently chooses bullying. It does make you wonder how THAT happened since bullying is characterized by name calling, teasing, denigrating and often accompanied by violence or threats of violence. All are things that tRump used throughout his campaign. Maybe this is her way of tweaking him since she knows it will get his goat?? It is pretty clear there are times she loathes him but she made a bargain and has to play the part.

It is rather odd but he more or less let’s her play at being 1st Lady if she will show up now and then and be more discrete with her rebuffs. LOL. I still remember the hand slapping thing. Funniest thing on tape I’ve seen in a while. And nothing he could do about it. Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. Bwahaha!
