It seems First Lady Melania Trump is among those who differed with President Donald Trump over his decision to mock 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg on . In an unusual public statement acknowledging any disagreement between the first couple, Mrs. Trump’s spokeswoman told CNN reporter Kate Bennett: “It is no secret that the President and First Lady often communicate differently — as most married couples do.” Bennett had asked about a Thursday tweet from the president, 73, in which he said it was “so ridiculous” that TIME named Thunberg their “Person of the Year.” The Swedish teen has become a global face for the urgency of addressing climate change. “Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!” President Trump, a climate change skeptic who has claimed it is a “hoax,” sarcastically wrote Thursday. “Chill Greta, Chill!” Thunberg responded by changing her bio: “A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.” Mrs. Trump, 49, has made fighting cyberbullying a major part of her Be Best initiative as first lady, focusing on children’s welfare.

Referring to the professor, she wrote, “Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.” In the statement to CNN this week about the president’s mockery of another teenager, Mrs. Trump’s spokeswoman said, BeBest “is the First Lady’s initiative, and she will continue to use it to do all she can to help children. … Their son is not an activist who travels the globe giving speeches.

She told New York Times reporter Katie Rogers last year, according to week, “I don’t always agree with his tweets and I tell him that.” “[The first lady] told me she sometimes takes the president’s phone away,” Rogers tweeted at the time, per week.
