The first lady of the United States hosted a gathering for the governors’ spouses at the White House. At the gathering, Melania discussed the values of her Be Best initiative and shared how they can use it for positive change in their states and communities.
However, many online users negatively reacted to what Melania did. One said that instead of focusing on others and how they could make a positive change, the FLOTUS should fix her own family first and start with her husband President Donald Trump.
“Start #BeBest with your husband,” @linacre_mary commented.
