NEW YORK (AP) — First lady Melania Trump is calling on world leaders to “step up” to improve the lives of children.

She will deliver the remarks Wednesday during a luncheon at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in New York. The White House says the audience will include spouses of world leaders, among others.

In prepared remarks, Trump says that children are often “hit first and hardest in any country” when it comes to drug addiction, bullying, poverty, disease, trafficking illiteracy and hunger.

She says, “We need to step up, come together, and ensure that our children’s future is bright.”

President Donald Trump spoke to the General Assembly Tuesday, vowing that he would “totally destroy” North Korea if forced to defend the U.S. or its allies.

  1. The sentient portion of the universe urges Donnie to “step down”.

  2. Oh she speaks, too bad she doesn’t have a plan or anything.

  3. With any luck, the other spouses will ask her, “So, if these goals are so important to you, will you be pressuring your husband to resign?”

    But in all honesty I bet this is going to be as uncomfortable for her as it will be for us and the people in attendance.

  4. Her husband leads by example by threatening to throw out DACA kids and stripping everyone of healthcare.

  5. Then she could come out strongly against Graham-Cassidy!!

    She’s trying very hard not to be a twit, but she’s still a twit.
