Former first lady Melania Trump has harsh words for reporters who dare to accurately report the murky nature of her various charity fundraisers: They’re “dream killers.”
Melania’s media attack was at the end of the release, which was actually about a “Be Best” project called “Fostering the Future” that supposedly funds computer science scholarships for young people who have been in foster care.
“Despite my actions, the press continues to publish inaccurate, misleading, and outright incorrect articles about my work,” Trump said in an official statement released on Friday. “The media has created a narrative whereby I am trying to act in an illegal or unethical manner. That portrayal is simply untrue and adversely affects the children I hope to support.
“Those who attack my initiatives and create the appearance of impropriety are quite literally dream killers. They have canceled the hopes and dreams of children by trying to cancel me.”
Melania’s media attack was at the end of the release, which was actually about a “Be Best” project called “Fostering the Future” that supposedly funds technology scholarships to young people who have been in foster care.
The statement came at a time when Melania’s charity projects have come under close scrutiny recently.
Earlier this week, Florida officials recently launched an “inquiry” into an upcoming fundraiser for “Foster The Future” because it’s unclear whether the charity even exists.
In addition, Melania Trump’s recent attempts at raising money via NFTs didn’t work out as planned.
Last month, Melania auctioned off an NFT for “Head of State Collection, 2022” on the Solano blockchain, but after the offering failed to reach the opening auction minimum of $250,000, it appears that she ended up buying it back herself — or it was purchased by other organizers of the initial offering — according to Vice, Artnet News and Bloomberg.
She is now planning to release an “Official POTUS NFT Collection” that will include “10 original pieces of digital artwork highlighting iconic moments from President Trump’s Administration” on Monday.
Naturally, Twitter users had thoughts about the former first lady’s attack on the media.
