In an exclusive ABC interview that was set to air on Thursday morning, first lady Melania Trump complained that she is “the most bullied person in the world” and commenters on Twitter — where bullying is de rigueur — begged to differ.
Speaking with ABC host Tony Llamas, the wife of President Donald Trump was asked about her BeBest anti-bullying campaign and her first response was mentioning herself which set off the online commentariat, with one responding: “So #bebest is about her. The entire family is self-absorbed.”
That was one of the nicer responses, with multiple commenters responding her comment was a veiled reference to her husband bullying her behind the scenes.

Maybe @MELANIATRUMP was referring to her husband. She certainly hasn’t been bullied by their common target: MSM. I think I preferred her being quiet. She sounds like Trump.

That does not surprise me. I always thought Don probably bullied her too. 😢

Please , this woman still doesn't know she was cheated on. Talk to a rock instead.

The amount of narcissism in the Trump family is chilling. Shouldn’t be allowed to raise children

Imagine if @MichelleObama said this & played the victim. Republicans would lose their minds. @FLOTUS Melania Trump says her #BeBest policy platform targeting online bullies is personal. “I could say that I’m the most bullied person in the world” pic.twitter.com/7uCQB7jInX
