Despite Trump’s work and activism as first lady, she has faced more than her fair share of critics. Some of Trump’s detractors have argued that her anti-cyberbullying initiatives contrast with the words and behaviors of her husband, President Trump. Nevertheless, the first lady maintains that she will continue to proceed with the work she believes in.
Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s communications director, has also stated that the president is supportive of the first lady’s work and initiatives:
“She is aware of the criticism, but it will not deter her from doing what she feels is right. The president is proud of her commitment to children and encourages her in all that she does.”
Ghana is one of several places which the first lady will visit during her solo international trip. Trump is also scheduled to spend time in Kenya, Egypt, and Malawi. Additional updates regarding her trip will follow as new developments arise.
