Mrs. Trump has chosen cyber bullying for her focus issue as the American First Lady, leaving some to say there is irony in the decision because of her husband’s reputation as a bully towards his critics, especially on social media.

President Trump has frequently used his twitter account to attack his rivals, the media, and other public figures on topics ranging from their physical appearance to their intelligence.

The same day his wife was to speak at the cyber safety event, Trump sent out a stream of early morning tweets that began in the 3 o’clock hour lashing at critics with disparaging language like “Democrat thugs,” “Crooked Hillary”, former FBI agent Lisa Page “& her lover”, among other things.

Mrs. Trump repeated prior claim that she feels like she is the most, or one of the most, bullied persons in the world.

“As I have said before, it is not news or surprising to me that the critics and the media have chosen to ridicule me for speaking out on this issue. And that’s OK,” she told the Family Online Safety Institute’s (FOSI) annual conference in Washington where she talked about promoting civility online. “I remain committed to tackling this topic because it will provide a better world for our children. And I hope that, like I do, you will consider using the negative words as motivation to do all you can to bring awareness and understanding about responsible online behavior.”

Mrs. Trump said, “Today’s technology provides people with digital shields to hide behind and being anonymous often takes the place of being caring and responsible, which can lead to children and adults feeling empowered to be kind and at times cruel.”

Here’s the list of tweets from her husband this morning:

“Universities will someday study what highly conflicted (and NOT Senate approved) Bob Mueller and his gang of Democrat thugs have done to destroy people. Why is he protecting Crooked Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Lisa Page & her lover, Peter S, and all of his friends on the other side?”

“The only “Collusion” is that of the Democrats with Russia and many others. Why didn’t the FBI take the Server from the DNC? They still don’t have it. Check out how biased Facebook, Google and Twitter are in favor of the Democrats. That’s the real Collusion!”
