President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated on Monday, January 20
Melania Trump has announced her readiness to return to the White House as her husband prepares to begin his second term as President. During an interview on Fox & Friends with Ainsley Earhardt, she shared her plans for the future.
“I will be in the White House,” she stated. “And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. But my first priority is to be a mom, to be a First Lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country.”
Melania Trump did not move into the White House until five months into Donald Trump’s first term in 2017, prioritizing her son Barron, who was then her main focus. Now 18 years old, Barron resides in New York City while studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business.
Melania also shared that during the family’s first term in the White House, she felt “not accepted” and believed she lacked “much support” in her role as First Lady.
This time, Melania Trump revealed she feels more confident in her role.
“Maybe some people, they see me as just a wife of the president, but I’m standing on my own two feet, independent,” the 54-year-old former model shared. “I have my own thoughts. I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree with what my husband is saying or doing. And that’s OK.”
