Up to now she has been viewed by some as a bit of a trophy wife compared to the strong social or political agendas of First Ladies of the past such as Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush or Michelle Obama.
However I wonder if there is more to her than meets the eye in the light of this report I saw in today’s paper

Melania Trump yesterday warned about the “destructive and harmful” impact of using social media incorrectly – while her husband was busy settling scores with typically aggressive messages on Twitter.
America’s First Lady used a speech at a cyber-bullying prevention conference to stress the importance of teaching children about the “safe and responsible use of social media”. Yet as she was issuing the warning on the outskirts of Washington yesterday morning, Mr Trump was in another part of the city sending barbed tweets
