I am the most bullied person in the world, complains Melania

MELANIA TRUMP has called herself the “most bullied person in the world” and said there were people in the White House whom she and the president could not trust.

In a rare television interview, the US first lady indicated she had set up an anti-bullying campaign after being affected by “what people are saying about me” on social media and online.

She told Good Morning America on ABC News: “I could say I’m the most bullied person in the world.”

The interviewer asked her: “You’re really the most bullied person in the world?”

Mrs Trump replied: “One of them, if you really see what people are saying about me.” She said her Be Best campaign was targeted at social media because of that. The first lady added: “We need to educate the children about social emotional behaviour, so when they

‘I give him my honest advice, then he does what he wants. Some people don’t work in the White House any more’

grow up they know how to deal with those issues.”

The interview was recorded during Mrs Trump’s recent trip to Africa, her first major solo tour abroad.

She also said there were people in the White House whom she and the president could not trust.

Mrs Trump did not identify the people, but said she let her husband know about them. The first lady said: “I give him my honest advice and honest opinions, and then he does what he wants to do. Some people, they don’t work there any more.”

Asked if some untrustworthy officials were still working in the White House, she replied: “Yes.”

Her comments followed the recent publication, by a senior administration official, of an anonymous newspaper opinion piece that was highly critical of the president.

Asked about his wife’s comments, Donald Trump told Fox News: “I didn’t know people in Washington and now I know everybody. I know some that I wish I didn’t know. Are there some that I’m not in love with? Yes. And we’ll weed them out slowly but surely.”
