As Melania Trump prepares to be released from her four-year sentence as First Lady of the United States next Wednesday, she’s suddenly feeling nostalgic about her time spent inhabiting the White House and her failed #BeBest anti-bullying campaign.
This morning, Mrs. Trump tweeted: “As the legacy of #BeBest comes to a close at the @WhiteHouse, we must continue to give a voice to our Nation’s children & the issues that impact their lives. It’s the values & spirit of the American people that inspired Be Best & it’s those values that will carry on its mission.”
The tweet included a video of all 10 times Melania interacted with children over the last four years set to inspiring piano music.
“The goal of #BeBest has been simple,” she says in the video. “Teach youth about the importance of their wellbeing both mentally and physically. This also includes understanding online safety and the dangers of opioid and drug abuse.”
How about we take this to the next level?

To be clear, Melania’s #BeBest campaign did none of those things. Or anything, for that matter. It was just an empty platform she created because, like those f*cking Christmas decorations, she had to do it.
People on Twitter were quick to remind the outgoing FLOTUS of this…
You have been married to the greatest bully on the planet, who you watched publicly and perpetually harass people on social media to such a degree that millions were physically and emotionally traumatized, and many died.
It will be a joy to watch you leave.

The legacy of #BeBest is that your husband is banned from social media https://t.co/GdRBLO2b14

The legacy of #BeBest was sealed Jan 6 at the Capital, and your husband getting banned off twitter. That’s the legacy of your thingy.

What a crock!! #BeBest Your legacy is nothing, you tore up the Rose Garden, you mocked those locked in cages, and most importantly, you stood by while your pig of a husband was the biggest cyber bully of all! #BeGone, before we drop a house on you!! #TrumpImpeachment pic.twitter.com/zKaVEHTdxa

What legacy? Your husband demonstrated to children all over America that bullying wasn't just okay, it was something the President of the United States does. He modeled childish temper tantrums and insults for four years. That's your legacy, lady. https://t.co/d0wNRT5hRv

Thank you, First Lady. Your Be Best initiative cleared social media of its biggest cyber bully. Thank you for your effort and all you’ve done. pic.twitter.com/mSj6nMuUW1

The Trump Administration will forever be a dark and tainted part of American history. #BeGone

#BeBest has been a painfully absurd fraud. Your husband tried to bully a nation into keeping him in power—and as a result five people died and the US was traumatized. Let’s hope the legacy here is one of oblivious hypocrisy. (Oh yeah, caged kids. He did that, too.) https://t.co/M2ZQONY32w

It would be tragic if #BeGone started trending. 😄

There are times when you need to say something to defend yourself, there are times when you need to explain yourself. There are times when you can talk about your accomplishments. And there are times when you really should just shut up and keep a low profile.
Apparently Ms. Trump can’t figure out this out. Maybe because many of her staff quit.

Remember how FOX News ran interference for her? They were SCREAMING about how intelligent she was, that she spoke 5 languages, that she had an architecture degree, that she was a super model.
All lies.
After the courts are through with the Trump family, she better hope she had some money put away, or she’s going to have to go back to…..um…….”Modeling” to pay rent.

Empty platform for an empty person with empty morals. Thank goodness she will BE GONE soon enough, along with the other disgusting trumps

Melania’s legacy is destroying Jacqueline Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden.

From Jackie O to Tacky Ho.

When the Capitol of the United States was breached the first thought that came to my mind was 9/11. I cannot believe that in this post 9/11 time that the biggest worry that we have to face now is domestic terrorism. I feel a very deep disgust for the perpetrators of this insurrection and believe they should be striped of their U.S. citizenship! Let them all rot in the border cages.

Be Best
Be Gone
Be Forgotten

Not only did you steal and plagiarize Michelle Obama’s speeches, you lied about it at least twice.
Then you did the unthinkable.
You RUINED Jackie’s Rose Garden ripping out the crabapple trees and accent tulips she planted and putting in drab roses that completely changed the allure of Jackie Kennedy’s original colorful design. That was a bridge too far Melania Trump. You are not a good person, to say the least. Leave Jackie alone.
