Remember when Melania Trump said our culture has gotten “too mean and too rough” and therefore her platform as First Lady would be tackling the problem of cyber bullying among our youth?
“It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked,” she told a crowd in Philadelphia back in November. “It is terrible when that happens on the playground and it is absolutely unacceptable when it’s done by someone with no name hiding on the Internet.”

Well, she’s making good on her promise. Sort of. Because according to Page Six, Mrs. Trump has begun putting together a team in order to address and manage the very serious issue of online attacks, but there’s a catch. She’s only focusing on attacks being made against herself and her family. America’s youth, it seems, will have to wait.
Melania is said to be particularly upset about a joke comedian Chelsea Handler made to Variety in a recent video interview when she claimed the First Lady “can barely speak English,” then followed up with the tweet, “Blink if you need help @MELANIATRUMP.”

The Trump family’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, issued a statement this week on Melania’s behalf, saying “Shame on Chelsea Handler for attacking our first lady in such a despicable manner!”
“Don’t be fooled by her accent,” Cohen added. “Melania is bright and articulate. To be clear, our first lady speaks multiple languages, I believe five. How many languages do you speak, Chelsea?”
Insiders say Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who helped coordinate Trump’s inauguration events, including that kickass performance by Three Doors Down, has been tapped as Melania’s chief strategist and is currently interviewing candidates for the First Lady’s chief of staff, communications chief, and social secretary.
Anyone else already missing Michelle Obama? Hell, we’d even settle for Laura Bush.

The blink if you need help went completely over Trumps Lawyers head.

The only thing missing in that photo is Melania sucking on one finger while probing her clitoris with another. All the former first ladies have posed that way. Remember Barbara Bush?

They are quickly shutting down any form of media that portrays Emperor Cheeto and the Cheetets in a negative light. Soon it will be just like North Korea- the only news about our leader will be praising him and his family. Every day something happens that brings this theory a little closer to reality

The whiney GOP victim tour continues. Oh WAAAAAAAAA!!! Somebody said Melania can barely speak English!
Sorry, but for somebody who has supposedly been in the country for 2 decades, yes, her English isn’t as good as some. I feel bad for her because my guess is, her husband nor his children probably ever speak to her anymore and haven’t for years. He married her because he needs a young hot woman on his arm, and she thought, “Why the hell not, I’m not a citizen, he’s rich, how bad could it be?”
I’m guessing she has some serious buyers remorse.

I love it.
The so progressive and liberal left is attacking a foreign born person for their English language skills.
The way grown ass gay men channel teenage girl behavior is the major reason other gays stay in the closet.

I don’t know about the last part. But you made a good point about if it was a Democrat in the White House married to a migrant with an accent. People on the right would be stupid and merciless and people on the left would be clutching their pearls, and not enough people on the right would be calling out their own. Same thing happening now, just reversed. So much hypocrisy. I’m sick of it. And a lot of others are getting sick of it too.

I know, right! It’s totally unacceptable to attack someone for something they cannot control. Like where they were born. Or, y’know, the color of their skin.
But tell me more about this “ape in heels”…

That picture of her in the oval office is hot and should be made into a poster….to be on the wall of hetero boys and men worldwide.

Until she makes a speech that’s her own, I’m with Chelsea Handler.

So you’re on board with attacking people just because they’re different from you and have an accent. Tolerant left strikes again

@OzJosh
That’s an incredibly stupid thing to say.

Say nothing about the picture. Let the christian right deal with it.

Give the poor woman a break. What has she done to hurt you? Nothing, but you take sadistic delight in attacking her, even accusing her of being a prostitute without any shred of evidence except she is married to Donald Trump. So she posed for erotic photos. Let’s not pretend that readers of Queerty have never looked at erotic photos. Sorry, but hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Cruelty is cruelty. Queerty like to post articles about bullying, but fails to live up to their pretense of morality. Congratulations, but I would rather not be a dick.

The blink comment is funny. The barely English comment is not. But, part of being comedian is trying out all kinds of material. Unfortunately, Handler is ignorant and mean-spirited, so she’s extremely inconsistent in her craft as far as being humorous.
I wish all people on the left would leave Melania/Barron alone, just like I wish all people on the right left Michelle Obama and the girls alone. This country as a whole needs to grow the f*ck up.

She is a public figure, and the first lady, she will not be left alone, that is how these things works, also she has a past, and that will keep on surfacing world wide for as long she is in the white house.
She can get all the online teams she wants, fact is, by law, she is a public figure and she is game and we do have freedom of speech.
