Melania defends Trump’s cyber bullying

She vowed last year to be a powerful advocate in the fight against cyber bullying, but Melania Trump has shown where her loyalties lie after defending her husband Donald Trump over vicious tweets towards a TV presenter.

After coming under fire for his attack on Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski’s appearance, Melania issued a statement excusing his behaviour.

“As the first lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder,” AOL reports her communications director Stephanie Grisham saying.

Trump’s latest scandal saw him attack US presenters Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, making special mention of Mika’s appearance.

Joking to his 32.9 million followers the female host was “bleeding badly from a facelift”, it’s a classic case of the cyber bulling Melania took a stand against in a campaign speech last July.

"It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked," she said at the time. "We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other... It will be one of the main focuses of my work if I’m privileged enough to become your First Lady."
