In a newly released interview, one prominent chief executive defended First Lady Melania Trump's anti-bullying effort and declined to comment on whether some of President Trump’s tweets constitute cyber bullying.
When First Lady Melania Trump launched a campaign against cyberbullying last year, some praised the initiative while others sharply criticized it, citing disparaging tweets written by her husband, President Donald Trump. A year before the initiative began, former model and prominent chief executive Kathy Ireland defended Melania Trump against attacks that focused on the First Lady’s own past modeling career.
Following up, Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer asked whether some of Trump’s tweets should be considered bullying. Over the course of his decades-long tenure in public life, Trump has disparaged many individuals with whom he disagrees, sometimes using derogatory descriptions or assigning them belittling nicknames.
Last year, Trump called porn actress Stormy Daniels “Horseface,” he referred last month to former Vice President Joe Biden as “sleepy Joe,” and in July told four minority Congresswomen to “go back” to the country they came from even though all but one had been born in the United States.
