Melania Trump is unlikely to take on the role of full-time first lady if her husband runs for president for a second term, according to a report.
A Trumpworld insider said: Page Bottom The former Slovenian model reportedly agreed with Donald Trump that she would not have to serve as first lady 24/7 if he retakes the White House in November.
An insider said Melania believes she can ultimately “be both an active mother and first lady at the same time.” Page Bottom.
“She doesn’t want a non-stop schedule of events at the White House and emphasizes that she can be both an active mother and First Lady.
“Donald is close to Barron, but he won’t be kicking a football around with him when he’s president and head of the free world. Donald has already accepted that and believes mothers and parents across the country will understand Melania’s devotion to their sons,” they added.
“Donald trusts Melania to raise his sons just as he trusts Ivana to raise his children… Donald thinks that’s working for Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr.”
Melania plans to split her time between Washington, D.C. and New York rather than serve full-time as the president’s first lady. The couple’s son, Barron Trump, is expected to start at New York University in the fall.
“She is an active mother and plans to spend part of every month — potentially even every week — in New York,” a Trumpworld insider said. Page Bottom.
The source added that Melania feels “safe” in New York and at Trump Tower.
“This is Barron’s home and that’s why he wants him to go to school in NYC,” they said. “He can provide both emotional and physical support by being nearby. Everyone remembers how he put off moving to Washington, D.C. until Barron finished school.”
After Trump won the 2016 presidential election and was inaugurated in January 2017, Melania delayed moving into the White House with Barron for another five months so that her son could complete the school year without interruption.
But despite the confidence and comfort Melania feels in New York, the source said, she is concerned about the attention her 18-year-old son could face if he attends college in the city if his father becomes president.
“Barron has never been completely alone before, and with the added stress of being both a freshman in college and the son of a president in a city that is likely to be predominantly Democratic, [Melania] wants to be close… Melania worries about the extra attention her father would get if he were president, and she also worries about the backlash at school because of Barron’s ever-present Secret Service. [detail]” they said, adding that the former first lady was an “extremely protective” mother.
“Melania is a very protective mother and even opposed the idea of Barron serving as a Republican delegate. [Republican National Convention] From Florida.”
In May, it was announced that Barron would serve as a Florida delegate alongside his older siblings at the party’s national convention, nominating his father as the official Republican presidential candidate.
But a few days later, Melania’s office released a statement announcing that Barron would not be attending.
“Barron is honored to be selected as a delegate by the Republican Party of Florida, but regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the statement said.
This would be the first time the youngest member of the Trump family has stepped directly into politics.
Earlier this week, a number of “Melania experts” said: Actions If her husband wins the presidency, it seems unlikely Melania will return to Washington, D.C.
“Melania is doing what Melania wants,” said Mary Jordan. Washington Post Associate editor and author of the unauthorized Melania biography The Art of Dealing (2020), adding that Melania “stands out from all other first ladies in history” because she sees the role as an “unelected, unpaid” role and therefore does not feel compelled to commit herself to it.
The former first lady has barely made a public appearance since leaving the White House in January 2021, choosing not to attend rallies and campaign events with her husband or even support him in the criminal case he filed against her.
Asked about his wife’s absence in February, Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Melania was a “special person” who was focused on her family.
“You know, a lot of first ladies go out — they want to be everywhere. They get mad at their husbands because they don’t introduce them,” Trump said. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she would be very happy. She’s just a different person.”
