With President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House just one week away, Washington, D.C. is experiencing significant change.
Melania Trump, the soon-to-be first lady, is prepared to return to the role she held from 2016 to 2020, armed with more experience and eager to broaden her “Be Best” initiative for the country.
During an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt, Melania Trump discussed the Trump transition and how she offers advice to her husband.
“I feel I was always me the first time as well. I just feel that people didn’t accept me. Maybe they didn’t understand me the way maybe they do now, and I didn’t have much support. 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,” Melania Trump said.
“I give him my advice. And sometimes he listens. Sometimes he doesn’t. And that’s okay,” she added in the interview.
During Trump’s first time as president, Melania’s “Be Best” initiative, which promotes youth health and safety and fights cyberbullying, became a big part of who she was as first lady.
She wants to “continue” and “expand” the program because it was hard for her the first time.
“I didn’t have much support from anyone. I invited all of the streaming platforms to the White House. I had the roundtable, and I didn’t have much support from them. And imagine what we could do in those years if they will rally behind me and teach the children and protect them about social media and their mental health.”
The company said in a statement that a behind-the-scenes Amazon Prime documentary about the life of the new first lady will be released in theaters and on the streaming service later this year. The movie comes after her best-selling biography, “Melania,” which came out in October of last year and quickly became a bestseller.
