Melania Trump has been putting her efforts to promote the East Wing's campaign, Be Best since its launch in 2018. Amid the current lockdown in the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nothing much has been changed on the First Lady's side since she, reportedly, continues to tout the advocacy.
Be Best has three pillars. These are children's wellness, substance abuse, and online safety. It was noted that the President's wife has been more focused on the latter pillar these past few weeks.
According to Express UK, Melania Trump shared a Be Best-focused advice to parents who are now working from home. In the post, she said that, during this "challenging time," most children will be on social media throughout the day.
With this kind of scenario at hand, she said that parents must make sure that their kids are "practicing online safety." Be sure to "check on them regularly," she added.
Despite the good intentions to fight today's cyberbullying, the First Lady was met with several criticisms and mockeries after sharing the post. It was said that the netizens could not handle the "irony" because of her husband's movements on social media.
As reported, many individuals took the time to share their thoughts about Melania's tip amid the COVID-19 lockdown. Some of their thoughts appeared to have mocked Melania Trump since her husband has been known to be a "bully" on social media.
One netizen even said that Melania should check on her husband because his presence on social media is "making everyone less safe." Several people also said that the First Family, especially Melania and Donald Trump "lack social awareness."
There were also some people who criticized the First Lady's advocacy given its "lack" of application in today's crisis. It was said that Donald Trump has been pushing to open the country by Easter despite the surge in the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19.
As per reports, Melania Trump's husband has set a timeline for the reopening of the country. It was reported that the US President wants the country to go back to normal come Easter.
He was also, reportedly, "positive" that this will happen according to the plans. However, many experts in the field said that it is unlikely for the United States to resolve the COVID-19 outbreak on or before Easter, which is scheduled on April 12. Even so, the US President, reportedly, said that Easter is a "very special day" for him.
