Melania Trump Laments Cyber Bullying

W300

U.S. First Lady Melania Trump renewed her campaign to tackle cyber bullying Monday, as her husband lit up the internet with a stream of invective against his perceived foes.

Appearing at a health department building outside Washington, the Slovenia-born first lady urged tech companies to listen more to "children's ideas and concerns" about online bullying.

"Let's face it: most children are more aware of the benefits and pitfalls of social media than some adults," she said.

Since coming to office Melania Trump has spoken relatively infrequently in public.

She was treated at Walter Reed hospital on May 14 for what aides called a "benign" kidney condition and was released a few days later.

Her signature "be best" campaign for public decorum has been largely overshadowed by her husband's daily insults and public hectoring.

On Monday morning he called the taxpayer-funded lawyers and prosecutors investigating Russia's influence in the 2016 election a "National Disgrace."
