Melania: I’m the world’s most bullied person

When asked in an interview why she chose cyber bullying as a pet cause, United States President Donald Trump’s wife had a surprising answer.

“I could say I’m the most bullied person in the world,” Melania Trump told ABC News that took place during her trip to Africa.

When pressed, the US First Lady said she could certainly be “one of them, if you really see what people saying about me”.

That, she said, is “why my ‘Be Best’ initiative is focusing on social media and online behaviour”.

ABC on Thursday released the interview yesterday.

The 48-year-old former model may be smarting from online and press mockery for her attire during last week’s trip to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.

Her use of a white pith helmet while on safari in Kenya drew comparisons to a 19th century colonial administrator.

At her final stop in Egypt, she wore white pants, a pleated white shirt and a black tie with a beige jacket — with comparisons to Michael Jackson, fictional character Carmen Sandiego, and the French archaeologist villain in the first Indiana Jones movie.

Before departing Egypt, Melania said she wanted “to talk about my trip and not what I wear”.

But it’s impossible not to talk about Melania Trump without noticing her attire.
