Melania to Donald Trump: 'Stay away from retweets'
The Hill ^ | 4/5/16 | Jesse Byrnes

Donald Trump's wife has some advice for the Republican presidential candidate who has garnered intense criticism for his remarks both on and off social media: Stay away from retweets.

"Sometimes I feel that, you know, the retweets sometimes get him in trouble," Melania said during a Fox News interview Monday night with Sean Hannity. "So I say, stay away from retweets."

"She does say that," adding a nodding Donald Trump, who was seated next to his wife during the appearance the night before the Wisconsin primary.

Trump caught flak for sharing a photo last month comparing an unflattering image of rival Ted Cruz's wife Heidi with a glamor shot of Melania, a former model. Trump said his tweet was in response to an ad from a pro-Cruz super-PAC that featured a nude photo of Melania from a 2000 photo shoot with British GQ.

Melania Trump hit the trail with her husband on Monday after he also faced criticism over his handling of questions about abortion in several interviews in recent days.

In February, he retweeted but then deleted support from an account called "WhiteGenocideTM." An earlier tweet from the account remains in Trump's feed. He's also retweeted a Mussolini quote and inaccurate crime stats on racial groups, among other items.

Trump has repeatedly said that his wife urges him to act "more presidential." During a rally in Wisconsin on Monday, Trump suggested it'd be "boring as hell" if he acted more presidential, suggesting he'd have smaller crowd sizes and saying, "Let me be unpresidential just for a little while longer."

Melania is going to be a really great First Lady and a best adviser to President Trump.

Yes..YES, hand of the Twitter to one of your trusted kids. Maybe Don jr or Ivanka. Let them be a trusted filter to chill Donald’s Twitter urges.

Also, work from prep cards at speeches and interviews to prevent getting caught in the weeds with his improvisational freeform commentary. Stick to your message and you can cruise to the finish line with less firestorms. I do understand that he wants viral media coverage, but at this point he’s got everyone’s attention already. I say play the presidential vibe until the general election starts.

Trump would have run away and locked up this entire election if he spent half as much time at rallies and twice as much time PREPARING for life under the bright lights.

It stuns and disturbs me that he still hasn’t learned as evidenced by the Chris Matthews debacle.

Funnier than heck the way she said it. I think post people would have said something like: “I’ve told him to stay away from Twitter re-tweeting” or something but she said it like she thought that re-twitting was the name of the app.

She is really cute the way she communicates. Much more engaging than the current first lady.

Why are you involving me in this?

I could care less about sex scandals in the tabloids.

Some of what I care about is honesty and ethics in the professional ranks. Cruz has picked the biggest sleazebag to run his campaign in which honesty and ethics are viewed as not necessary to win. To these scum, everything is admissible as long as it leads them to believe they are winning.

Cruz showed he has a mad streak and needs help. He’s fixated on Trump. Everything bad that happens to him is the fault of Donald Trump. Everything bad that happens in the nation or the world is somehow the fault of Donald Trump. When I saw that, I saw he should be denied any employment in the government sector. He has a screw loose.

And it’s not anyone’s fault but his own.

A bigger sleazebag than Stone or Manafort? I doubt that.
