Melania Trump admitted she thought her husband had repeatedly gone too far on his Twitter account during her first televised interview as future first lady.
She appeared next to her husband on Sunday night in the 60 Minutes interview, which was taped on Friday at their penthouse in Trump Tower.
When grilled by host Lesley Stahl about Trump's often-inflammatory social media activity, Melania said she asked him to tone it down 'all the time'.
But she conceded that he rarely listens to her advice and 'will do what he wants to do on the end'.
'Well, sometimes he, it got him in trouble. But it helped a lot as well. He had unbelievable following,' Melania said when pressed about Trump's Twitter account.
Stahl then asked: 'So you never say to him, 'Come on'?'
To which Melania replied: 'I did. You know, of course, I did many times, from the beginning of the campaign.
Melania responded saying: 'Yes, I tell him all the time.
'I think he hears me. But he will do what he wants to do on the end [sic]. He's an adult. He knows the consequences. And I give him my opinion. And he could do whatever he likes with it.'
Despite her husband often using his Twitter account to insult those who had crossed him, Melania insisted fighting online bullying was her prime concern.
'I think it's very important because a lot of children and teenagers are getting hurt,' Melania said.
'And we need to teach them how to talk to each other, how to treat each other and to, to be able to connect with each other on the right way [sic].'
The president-elect appeared to have lost control of his Twitter account days before the election.
