In her self-titled autobiography, Melania Trump underlined the concerns and challenges she faced after her husband, Donald Trump, became the President of the United States for the first time. Reflecting on the seminal moment, Melania revealed the weight of responsibility that came with her new role, as well as her worries for their son, Barron Trump.
"While the joy of our victory was overwhelming, my mind quickly shifted to the multitude of tasks before us, as I contemplated the weight of responsibility and the challenges that lay ahead,” Melania wrote.
Melania expressed concerns for her son, saying, "I also couldn't help but think about Barron and how this new stage in our lives would impact him."
Melania also said that she had to carefully plan and strategise to be able to balance multiple roles – mother, wife, First Lady, daughter, sister and friend. However, she was "determined to rise to the challenge" and ensure the transition was smooth amid her newfound fame.
Barron is now 18 and studying at New York University. He is said to have helped Trump reach the coveted under-30 demographic by helping him choose popular podcasts to appear on before his election victory. He is now preparing to launch a luxury real estate venture with two young business partners. It will focus on high-end real estate projects, including golf courses and properties in Utah, Arizona and Idaho.
Before President Trump’s recent inauguration, Melania spoke to Fox and Friends, expressing that she now has “much more experience” and “much more knowledge” regarding her role. “I will be in the White House. And you know 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,” she explained. “But my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife,” Melania affirmed.
