Melania Trump Booed, Cheered at Student Opioid Summit

Melania Trump on Tuesday urged students at a youth summit to avoid misusing drugs, saying that would make it harder for them to achieve.

She went to Maryland to address the Baltimore Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness, appearing on behalf of her “Be Best” youth campaign, which includes a focus on the U.S. epidemic of often deadly opioid use.

But her brief remarks at the event in Baltimore were met with cheers and boos from an audience of middle and high school students that remained noisy throughout her entire five-minute address.

When the audience remained rowdy after she began to speak, she interrupted her remarks to say, “Hello, everyone,” before continuing.

Welp... her hubby insulted Baltimore.. what did they expect would happen?

They shouldn't have done it, you should treat the First Lady with decency and respect. I feel bad for her really, but that's beside the point.

But... I understand. He did say Baltimore was disgusting rat and rodent infested mess and that no human would want to live there. Did they expect a red carpet reception? Come on. Folks in that town love that town... warts and all they still love it and won't have anyone disrespect it.

"...you should treat the First Lady with decency and respect." That pesky rule didn't seem to go in affect until this particular FLOTUS. It sure wasn't in affect with this crowd during the last one.

I lived 2 blocks from Cummings old district and it is a rat infested sh*t hole. I'm not offended by truth and NO, I did not love that town even though my family lived there for 6 generations! You missed the point 7:23, along with those other misguided people who live there. He was saying this to their representative (Cummings) after he spent his time criticizing the border conditions when he SHOULD have been tasking care of his district! They pay him to deal with the crime and trash, the President was calling HIM out not the people of Baltimore.

She didn't say those things. Instead, she's there to help a new generation become something other than victims in one of the drug and early death death capitals of the world.

That’s why I’m voting Warren. She actually grew up on a reservation with no running water. She will be the first Native American to be president. Also she is only worth 50k because all her earnings goes to charity. The women is an ambassador of compassion and honesty.

The only people that love it are black folks. White people can't wait to leave. Retirees just stay long enough to retire, and then they relocate to much better places. My daughter lived there for several years. The schools are unsafe, as are the streets and mass transportation. She left that city and will never go back. The "warts" were more than she could bear, trying to raise a family in a unsafe environment. The resident population is rude and dangerous. Trump got it right. My daughter was so happy to get the hell out of there. You don't know what you're talking about, or you don't live there, or you're just lying.

Charm City? Not so much back in the day; much, much less today. Boot Hill or the OK Corral are closer to the truth.

This is just another reason to eliminate the present education system, whose sole purpose is to indoctrinate these young kids just like in the communist countries (check your history books about the communist system). Do away with tenure and make sure the teachers are all as highly qualified and motivated as the vast majority of our educators are. Replace those who fail to produce well educated students with those who will.
