Melania Trump's Call For 'Be Best' Back-To-School Tips Backfires

LOADINGERROR LOADING

First lady Melania Trump tweeted a call for back-to-school tips as part of her “Be Best” youth campaign:

It’s #Backtoschool for many youth this month. As you begin a new year, how will you be the best you? #BeBest
— Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) August 6, 2018

But many of the replies were more about her husband, President Donald Trump, and his less than “Be Best” behavior on Twitter, complete with references to his attack on NBA superstar LeBron James. Some tweeters also slammed the administration for not doing enough to protect students from school shootings, and more than a few attacked the administration’s policy of putting immigrant children into detention centers:

Not reading your husband's tweets would be best.

How indeed. Begin with your family at home. Stop them online bullying, lying, boasting, disrespecting, scolding, racebaiting. Then let them start praising and honoring for well intended acts people they disagree with. Just an idea.

Did you mean to tweet that to @realDonaldTrump?

Do they have a $200 bulletproof backpack. Smh.☹️

By campaigning, advocating and working like hell to get you and all of your terrible friends and family out of office and, where possible, into prison! ❤️😘 #BeBest

I wonder if you could possibly be more insipid. There are lots of kids who would probably be their best selves if they were 👏let out of their cages and reunited 👏with their families. #BeBest

Have you asked your husband @POTUS this question?

Hopefully by not getting shot at.

#BeBest, Step #1: Escape from cage.

Will you be letting them out of cages for school or do they have to stay in them?

By not imitating your husband.

I’ll ask LeBron

By not acting like your family!

Have you talked to your husband about your “platform”?
