Chelsea Clinton on Melania Trump and Cyberbullying
Chelsea Clinton said Melania Trump's speech about ending cyberbullying is "a little ironic" because of her husband Donald Trump's own history of cyberbullying.
Last Thursday, Melania said that if she became first lady, she'd work to improve cruelty on social media, saying it's gotten "too mean and too tough." As a pet cause, it kinda makes sense - I mean, she does have a husband who some say is the best at cyberbullying and she is great at social media:

On Friday, Chelsea told Extra TV that she had some issues with Melania's speech. "I did think it was a little ironic," she said. "I do think we all need to pay attention to what some call the 'Trump Effect,' the rise of bullying that is haunting middle school hallways, but also what's happening in high schools and elementary schools ... We absolutely have to pay attention."
Maybe Melania's first anti-cyberbullying project could be her own husband? Here's a taste of some the Republican Presidential candidate's most charming social media missives:
The hatred that clown @krauthammer has for me is unbelievable – causes him to lie when many others say Trump easily won debate.

How can a dummy dope like Harry Hurt, who wrote a failed book about me but doesn’t know me or anything about me, be on TV discussing Trump?

.@GlennBeck got fired like a dog by #Fox. The Blaze is failing and he wanted to have me on his show. I said no - because he is irrelevant.

I mean, I could keep going but my fingers are getting tired.
During the interview, Chelsea also spoke about her friendship with Donald's daughter, Ivanka.
"She is someone I am really grateful to call my friend," she told Extra TV. "It is clear we have different views on what the right answer is for our country and I'm going to everything I can to keep making the case for my mom till the polls close."
