Only the second first lady born outside of the United States, former model Melania Trump became an American citizen on July 28, 2006, which she called the “greatest privilege on planet Earth” in a GQ magazine interview.

Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Melania advertised her primary job as being a “full time mom,” according to the Washington Post. Melania said she specifically made the choice not to go into politics and policy because such activites are her husband’s job, according to the GQ interview.

Melania also said her role would be very traditional if Trump were to make it to the White House, comparing her role to that of Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy, saying her role would be to support Trump in a New York times interview.

Currently, it is no secret that the first lady remains rather uninvolved, mostly out of the public stoplight. If it seems easy to interpret Melania’s small presence as first lady due to her political ineptitude, that’s because it is.

After a 2016 speech given by Melania at the National Republican Convention, a plagiarism scandal materialized when a paragraph appeared verbatim to a 2008 speech given by former first lady Michelle Obama.

According to the Trump campaign’s released statement, it was indeed a part of Michelle’s speech and an inadvertent error, ostensibly demonstrating Melania’s (and the Trump campaign’s) political inexperience and lack of proper conduct.

Melania has been short-spoken almost to the point of being enigmatic, supposedly emphasizing her behind the scenes role as first lady. Melaina also said she is very political in her private life, and knows everything that goes on with her husband, according to the New York Times.

While still aloof, recently, Melania has appeared to become more comfortable as first lady and has gained confidence in the public eye, taking action to reaffirm her anti-bullying and anti-cyberbullying agenda, which she had previously spoken about.

While Melania hoping to make an effort to combat bullying is great in theory, her efforts seem trivial and too minimal to be of any significance, appearing especially peripheral when easily overshadowed by Trump’s hugely polarizing actions as president. Melania’s distance from politics starkly contrasts Michelle Obama’s hugely active role in Barack Obama’s presidency, running a successful health initiative and youth obesity prevention platform.

Melania’s comments about the dangers of cyberbullying and ‘internet negativity’ sound silly and dated, and overall out of touch. Melania hasn’t made any effort to promote concrete legislation nor has she announced or even planned any real campaign yet, according to Stephanie Grisham, Melania’s spokesperson.

Melania has additionally been under fire for her anti-bullying initiative being hypocritical when her husband seems to have such a penchant for name calling and bullish behavior. President Trump’s’ Twitter has even been cited for ironically crediting him the title of “cyberbully-in-chief”.

In order to even make it possible for Melania to have a successful bullying prevention effort, she would need to take on a more involved, specific leadership role with tangible goals for bullying prevention. This could begin with consolidating more staff to work with and advise her, staff aids and a director of policy. Melania should reach out to organizations like the Cyberbullying Research Center, No One Eats Alone and PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center.

Melania should also appear at anti-bullying events, speak more often and work to rely less on spokespersons to relay information for her. She should learn how to beneficially contribute to the political process if she wants to take a real stand against bullying.

While Melania Trump’s bullying opposition efforts are minimal, perhaps these are her first steps in becoming comfortable in her role as first lady. Melania is appearing to attempt more active and competent participation in the political process in the future, for better or for worse.
