Melania Trump took to social media on Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of her #BeBest initiative. Launched during her four years as First Lady, #BeBest set a goal of “encouraging children to BE BEST in their individual paths, while also teaching them the importance of social, emotional, and physical health.”
Since leaving office, Melania has sold NFTs and Christmas ornaments, with the promise some of the funds would go toward achieving the ‘Be Best’ goals. She’s always avoided stating how much exactly.
To mark the ‘Be Best’ anniversary, Melania waxed lyrical about its “incredible impact”. She implied it had funded university scholarships for two kids raised in foster care.
“Today, on the 5th anniversary of my Be Best initiative, we are reminded of the incredible impact that can be achieved when we come together to support our next generation,” she said. “The fact that two individuals from the foster care community have received university-level scholarships brings me great joy. Many thanks to my team and the community for ongoing support.”
Now, to be clear, funding scholarships for foster kids to pursue their educational goals is a good thing. Onine, some people congratulated for her actions. However, many others expressed surprise at the initiative’s modest achievements.
The size of the university scholarships is also unknown.
Wow, 2 whole scholarships in 5 years. Talk about underachieving…..

MELANIA: "If you want university degree, it #BeBest if you do what I did: just claim you have one from a university that doesn't exist on your resume. Done!"

Is that the "best" you can do? Two scholarships for children in foster care. 🤦🏼♂️

She was soliciting $50k tickets for events and managed two scholarships? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/bvvcxZkm3t

Oh, you mean Michelle Obama’s “Be Better” initiative that you blatantly copied from her, that Initiative!

Former advisor speaks out
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is a former friend and advisor to Melania Trump. Recently recalling her time at the White House, Wolkoff says she tried to tell the First Lady at the time that “Be Best” was not a great name for an initiative that wanted to promote educational goals.
The phrase sounded “illiterate” Winston Wolkoff claims she told Melania.
“Melania, lover of Sharpies, drew the two-word logo with block letters and said, ‘I drew it myself, so no one say I plagiarized it’.”
Perhaps Melania is wanting to ramp up ‘Be Best’ again as her husband campaigns for the White House again in 2024. A new report in The Hill, quoting anonymous senior Republicans, says Trump looks increasingly likely to become the GOP nominee despite his legal problems. He’s edging ahead of Ron DeSantis in polls, although the Florida lawmaker has yet to formally announce he’s running.
“I just think that [Trump’s] nomination is inevitable. I really do. He’s going to be the nominee. I’d be stunned if he’s not,” said one Republican senator who requested anonymity and who hasn’t yet endorsed a candidate.

Melania is one of the most useless First Ladies or former First Ladies to have served in that role in recent years. Her White House project, “Be Best,” was not only grammatically but logically incoherent, and she has never apologized for her racist birther nonsense nor explained the truth of how she even got her visa to stay here, before she married her corrupt, lying, treasonous, psychopathic husband. It would be best for everyone if she just stayed at Mar a Lago, out of the limelight, but apparently, like that criminal she’s married to, she can’t just take “Go back and hide under your rock” as her guiding principle.

And it’s not like she can just stroll over to the step daughter’s house. She can’t go to the beach. And Worth Ave get’s very tired after a few visits. What’s this has been to do!

This campaign was never real. How could she have any impact on bullying when she is married to one of the biggest bullies around?
