Incoming First Lady Melania Trump sat down for an interview on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning where she discussed how she was hiring folks for her staff in the White House and is doing her best to try and save taxpayer dollars by only hiring those who are the best at their jobs and will be serving her, her office, and the country rather than seeking after their own agenda. On top of that, she’ll be expanding her “Be Best” program from her first go around as first lady.
Isn’t it a beautiful thing to hear so many individuals within the upcoming Trump administration share how concerned they are about ensuring they don’t burden the American people with ridiculous spending? What a huge shift from where things have been during the Biden administration. I think we’re in for a real treat for the next four years. Let’s enjoy it.
According to KRON4, Melania told Fox host Ainsley Earhardt, “In the first administration, I didn’t have much support from anyone.”
“I invited all of the streaming platforms to the White House. I had the roundtable. And I didn’t have much support from them,” she said. “Imagine what we could do in those years if they will rally behind me, and teach the children and do protect them about the social media and their mental health?”
The incoming first lady originally launched the Be Best campaign back in 2018.

“There is one goal to Be Best — and that is to educate children about the many issues they are facing today,” she explained at that time.
Originally focused on children’s social media use, well-being and opioid abuse, Trump announced in 2019 she was widening its reach to also include online safety. The move was mocked by critics, who pointed to then-President Trump’s frequent use of social media to slam his political opponents.
“I think it will be an exciting four years,” the 54-year-old former model and “Melania” author went on to state during the conversation on Monday. “We have a lot to do,” she went on to say, “and put the country back in shape.”
How sad is it that social media big wigs and other important influencers wouldn’t help her with the “Be Best” campaign which could have helped a lot of children with their mental health, something sorely needed in a world like ours today. Let’s hope she has far more support this time around.
