After high school kids in Baltimore booed First Lady Melania Trump on Tuesday as she visited to speak about opioid abuse, the wasn’t deterred by their reaction.
Instead of cheering for the First Lady, who took precious time out of her day to speak to Baltimore kids, they seemed to not much care for her willingness to speak about the very important issue of solving the opioid crisis.
According to the Baltimore City Health Department, “in 2017, Baltimore City saw 761 drug and alcohol-related intoxication deaths, 692 of which were opioid-related.”
Despite the vitriol received by the First Lady, Melania wrote in a statement, “We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country, and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse.”
The classy move by the First Lady is not likely to hit liberal news publications, but she seems committed to helping underserved communities and saving lives, especially young lives from the horrors of the opioid epidemic.

At least she is dignified and is a true First Lady unlike the previous first lady boy who was an arrogant welfare queen in more than one way.
