Melania Trump: Teady and independent for white house return
– Some people, they see me as just the wife of the president, but I'm standing on my own two feet, independent, – Melania Trump said in an interview with Fox News. What about her move to the White House?
On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will move into the White House for the second time as the 47th president of the United States. In a conversation with Fox News, Melania Trump shared her thoughts on the matter.
She's preparing for the move
Melania Trump has dismissed rumors and confirmed that she will live with her husband. She revealed that moving to the White House is a logistical challenge. There are five hours for the move. "Everything needs to be planned to the minute,” she said. Despite the tight schedule, she emphasized that this time she feels better prepared than eight years ago when she experienced more stress and uncertainty, Melania stated in the Fox News interview.
During Donald Trump's first term, Melania focused mainly on raising their son Barron, who was 10 years old at the time. Now, as an adult, he requires less attention, allowing Melania to focus on her role as the First Lady. – My first priority is, you know, 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, – she emphasized.
She doesn't want to be just Trump's wife
Melania Trump spoke openly about her independence, stressing that she doesn't always agree with her husband.
– Maybe some people, they see me as just the wife of the president, but I'm standing on my own two feet, independent. 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 okay, – she confessed. She also admitted that she openly tells Donald when she has a different opinion, although it is not always heeded. “I give him my advice, and sometimes he listens, sometimes he doesn't,” she added with a smile.
Melania mentioned that during her husband's first term, she felt she wasn't accepted by society, which affected her role as the First Lady. Now, however, she seems more confident and ready for new challenges.
“The first time was challenging. We didn't have much of the information. The information was upheld for us from [the] previous administration. But this time I have everything,” she said.
