In late January of 2025, Melania Trump will be returning to the White House as First Lady once more.
But she has come up with a plan to change things up like never before.
And Melania Trump just made shockwaves with this one massive announcement about her future.
Melania Trump redefines what it means to be First Lady
During Donald Trump’s first term as President, Melania Trump defied a lot of the so-called ‘norms’ regarding the role of the First Lady.
She proudly avoided public attention in order to focus on raising her and Donald’s then-teenage son Barron.
When it came to the campaign trail in 2020, she was rarely seen in public, with her only major appearance being limited to a speech she had delivered during the Republican National Convention.
She has historically focused her public-based activities and work to her “Be Better” initiative, which focused on combating bullying among the youth community in America.
Now that the Trump family is set to return to the White House, Melania has already defined exactly how she plans to perform her role as First Lady moving forward.
“Melania will be the First Lady, but only on her terms,” stated one source, according to the New York Post. “She’ll do the big events. But no ladies’ tea and no – or very few – interviews.”
Along with Donald Trump, Melania is well aware that the election has projected her forward to the “driver’s seat” as the country has set a mandate for Donald Trump to govern.
And that includes her being the First Lady without the mainstream media hounding over why she is not doing more politically.
“She views winning as the main show, and the rest she’ll do as she pleases,” added the source. “She’s really in the driver’s seat as to her duties at the White House.”
“Melania will be a part time First Lady – while being a full-time mother and wife,” they continued.
This is no secret, however, considering that Melania hinted how she would act as First Lady to Fox News during an interview back in September.
“This time is different,” began Melania in her interview. “I have much more experience and much more knowledge.”
“I was in the White House before,” she added. “When you go in, you know exactly what to expect.”
Melania expected to bounce between New York and Washington, D.C. often
Melania proudly sees her most important role in life is being a mother to Barron.
During her interview with Fox, she pointed out that Barron lives full time in Trump Tower while attending a New York City college.
“I could not say I’m an empty nester,” Melania explained. “I don’t feel that way.”
Barron Trump has certainly been missing life back at home, especially after spending four years in Washington, D.C. followed by staying in Florida at Mar-a-Lago due to the family’s decision to try and avoid further attacks through lawfare in the Big Apple.
So when the time came for Barron to pick where he would go to college, Melania stated that it was a quick and easy decision for Barron – that was to return home.
“It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York, study in New York, and live in his home and I respect that,” she continued.
“He’s enjoying his college days. I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18-, 19-year-old child,” concluded Melania.
When the Trump universe-based source claimed that Melania Trump planned to focus primarily on her role as a mother over that as First Lady, they are saying that she plans to spend as much of her time as she can with her son, even if it means splitting her time between New York and Washington, D.C.
