Third Lady Melania Drops Fake Cyber Bullying Campaign She Only Pretended to Care About

After video footage surfaced of her husband bragging about sexually assaulting women, Melania Trump contributed to damage control efforts by sitting down to an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Over the course of the conversation, she defended Donald Trump as being a precocious 59-year-old boy victimized by Billy Bush and the left-wing media. In an added effort to distract, Melania pledged to tackle the epidemic that is cyberbullying. You’re familiar with cyberbullying, right? It’s exactly that thing where the man you married gets up at 3am to call people “fat pigs,” “stupid” and—irony alert!—“liars” on Twitter.

Here’s what Melania actually said while keeping a completely straight face during the interview:

My passion is the same [as I’ve said in the past]: helping children and helping women. And also, I see now in 21st century, the social media, it's very damaging for the children. We need to guide them and teach them about social media, because I see a lot of negativity on it, and we need to help them. It has some positive effects as well, because this is the life that we live in now. But has a lot of negativity as well. And I see more and more children being hurt by it...A lot of bullying.

Even her recent minor revolt must have resulted in Trump making her existence a living hell and the threat was large enough that she's back in her meek Stepford Wife routine.
