Melania's cyber bullying platform is in progress

US First Lady Melania Trump takes part in the opening ceremony for the Healing Garden at the Children's National Medical Center on April 28, 2017 in Washington, DC. 
Melania Trump, America's historic first lady pledged before the election that she would lead a campaign against cyber bullying.


But so far, say leaders and activists in anti-cyber bullying efforts, neither Trump nor her East Wing staff have not reached out, nor have they responded to offers to help. 

"I'm not seeing any movement towards an initiative that she's endorsed," says first lady historian Myra Gutin of Rider University in New Jersey. "She's hired some staff but not up to the level that other first ladies have done by now."


Trump's press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, says the anti-cyber bullying effort is still a work in progress. "Mrs. Trump is being very thoughtful when it comes to building out her initiatives," Grisham said in an email.

Her declaration brought out plenty of ire on social media from those who consider Donald Trump the definition of a cyber bully given his aggressive social media attacks against anyone who piques his fury. Read the full story here
