The President and First Lady appeared together in the Rose Garden of the White House on Monday afternoon, so that he could sign a piece of revenge porn legislation that she defended.
“I want to thank my husband, President Trump for the fact that he is with this effort,” said Melania Trump, a riot of pink roses in bloom behind her.
The bill, known as the Take It Down Act, Mandends Social Media Platforms, removes sexually explicit images and videos from others who have been taken or posted without permission, including AI-generated “deep vague‘Content, within two days after the informed of them. It is written with teenage victims in mind.
“Artificial intelligence and social media are the digital candy for the next generation – sweet, addictive and designed to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children,” said the First Lady. “But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be armed, shape beliefs and unfortunately influence emotions and even be deadly.”
Mrs. Trump had pushed the approval of this bill almost since the day of her husband’s second inauguration, when it was First raised by Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat van MinnesotaDuring an inauguration day lunch. The bill kept neatly at the best, the anti-Cyberpest initiative of Mrs Trump from the first Trump period.
At the beginning of March she appeared rare in Washington to hold a round table on Capitol Hill with girls who had been the victim of online smear campaigns, as well as the father of a young boy who died by suicide as a result of online ‘SexTortion’. It was emotionally charged, sometimes tears, and the next day Mrs. Trump took some of those guests to the living room to view the address of the president to the congress, in which he called the bill.
The approval of the Take It Down Act represented a rare moment of Comity in the capital, which released the overwhelming two -part support, 409 to 2. It was introduced by Mrs. Klobuchar and Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas.
“Many thanks to members of the congress, both parties for taking on this legislation,” said Mrs. Trump. “Thank you all that you come together to prioritize people over politics.”
Mrs. Trump has been very selective About when and how she chooses to appear in Washington. The ceremony for signing the bill in the White House was its highest appearance so far. The president seemed very happy to be by her side.
“It is the first time I have seen such a level of dichotomy, and it’s a wonderful thing,” he squeaked. “I don’t even know for sure if you are realizing, dear, you know, many of the Democrats and Republicans can’t get so well. You let them get along.”
Before the signing ceremony he had been on the phone with President Vladimir V. Putin van Russia, in an attempt to put an end to the war in Ukraine. Mr. Trump started telling how the call had disappeared. And then he let the Rose Garden crack out when he said, “Putin just said,” They respect your wife a lot. ” I said, “What about me?” No, they think Melania is better.
He added: “I like it.”
They sat side by side, he scribbled his signature on the bill, and then, only for hell, he gave the pen to his wife. “Do you want to sign it?” he said. “Come on, sign it anyway. She deserves to sign it.”
And she did.
