Melania Trump says she'd work to improve a social
media culture that has gotten "too mean and too tough" -- riddled
with insults based on "looks and intelligence" -- if she becomes
first lady.
But she didn't make any mention of the Twitter
activities of her husband, Donald Trump, who has relentlessly attacked his
political foes, journalists, critics and other entertainers for years with
demeaning comments based on their appearances and intelligence.
In a rare appearance on the campaign trail -- and
her first solo speech since the convention this summer -- the wife of
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump discussed her vision for her role
in the White House for the first time Thursday in suburban Philadelphia.
"It is never OK when a 12-year-old girl or boy
is mocked, bullied or attacked. It is terrible when it happens on the
playground, and it is absolutely unacceptable when it is done by someone with
no name hiding on the internet. We have to find a better way to talk to each
other," Melania Trump said.
"We must find better ways to honor and support
the basic goodness of our children, especially in social media," she said.
"It will be one of the main focuses of my work, if I am privileged enough
to become your first lady."
