<P> On July 18, 2016, she gave a speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention . The speech contained a paragraph that was nearly identical to a paragraph of Michelle Obama's speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention . When asked about the speech, Trump said she wrote the speech herself "with as little help as possible". Two days later, Trump staff writer Meredith McIver took responsibility and apologized for the "confusion". </P> <P> In 2016, she told CNN her focus as First Lady would be to help women and children . She also said she would combat cyberbullying, especially among children, having quit social media herself due to the "negativity ." </P> <P> In February 2017, she sued Mail Media, the owner of The Daily Mail, seeking $150 million in damages over an August 2016 article which falsely alleged that she had worked for an escort service during her modeling days . The Mail retracted the article, apologized, and printed the retraction from the blogger they were quoting, who said: "I had no legitimate factual basis to make these false statements and I fully retract them". The lawsuit stated the article had ruined her "unique, once - in - a-lifetime opportunity" to establish "multimillion dollar business relationships for a multi-year term during which Plaintiff is one of the most photographed women in the world". Her claim raised potential ethical questions with its implication that she intended to profit from being First Lady . On February 18, the lawsuit was amended, removing the language about her earning potential and focusing instead on emotional distress . In April 2017, the parties settled the lawsuit and the Daily Mail issued a statement that said, "We accept that these allegations about Mrs Trump are not true and we retract and withdraw them ." The Mail agreed to pay her $2.9 million . </P> <P> Five days before the election, she told a crowd of supporters in Pennsylvania: "Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers . It is never OK when a 12 - year - old girl or boy is mocked, bullied, or attacked . It is terrible when that happens on the playground . And it is absolutely unacceptable when it is done by someone with no name hiding on the internet ." Regarding the contrast of her platform with her husband's use of Twitter during his campaign, Melania said shortly after the election that she had rebuked him "all the time" but that "he will do what he wants to do in the end". </P>
