First Lady Melania Trump recently revealed that her "Be Best" campaign is inspired by personal experiences.

In an interview with ABC News, Melania discussed social media and the reasons why she's so passionate about focusing her efforts on ending cyberbullying.

"I could say I'm the most bullied person on the world," Melania explained. When asked if she truly believed that claim to be accurate, she replied, "One of them, if you really see what people saying about me."

Though Melania's received her fair share of backlash online over the years — in response to everything from plagiarism to fashion choices — some people have a hard time believing she's the most bullied person in the world.

They also called attention to the fact that she's married to a man who loves to tear people down on social media and continually acts in ways that directly contradict her initiative. President Trump bullies so many people on Twitter that the New York Times once printed a comprehensive list of all of his insults.

Melania explained her goal for "Be Best" is to educate children using social media on "social emotional behavior so when they grow up they know how to deal with those issues."

In the same interview, she also mentioned she doesn't trust everyone in her husband's administration, and has warned him to be cautious of his staff.

"I give him my honest advice and honest opinions, and then he does what he wants to do," she said.

Perhaps in the future she should consider making more of an effort to encourage Trump to be his best self on social media...
