MELANIA Trump believes she was misunderstood by some people during her husband’s first term in office as she prepares to move back into the White House.
The former first lady sat down with Fox News star Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired during Monday’s episode of Fox & Friends First.
Earhardt sat down with Melania, 54, just a week before her husband, Donald, is to be inaugurated as the 47th president.
The journalist asked Melania to speculate on how she believes her second term as first lady would differ from when she held the role during Trump’s previous term.
Melania admitted that some people had misunderstood her during her term between 2017 and 21.
“I feel people didn’t accept me, maybe. They didn’t understand me – the way maybe they do now,” she said.
“I didn’t have much support.
“Maybe some people see me as a wife of a president, but I’m standing on my own two feet. Independent. I have my own thoughts.
“I have my own yes and no.”
She also revealed that she doesn’t always agree with Trump, but she said any disagreements are OK.
But, she warned that she always shares her thoughts with him.
“Sometimes, he listens. Sometimes he doesn’t, and that’s OK,” she said.
Melania revealed she will spend most of her time in the White House.
She said her priority is to be a mom, wife, and First Lady.
Earhardt revealed she asked Melania what she would wear for the Inauguration and the inaugural ball, but the incoming first lady didn’t share too many details.
In 2017, Melania stunned in a sky-blue Ralph Lauren cashmere dress.
During her husband’s successful presidential campaign, Melania remained out of the limelight for the most part.
But she did make some fleeting campaign appearances.
She appeared on stage with her husband following his speech at the Republican National Convention, held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in July.
Trump spoke at the event just days after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Melania also appeared at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden – which took place just days before Election Day.
She also appeared with the president-elect at a victory party held in Florida.
Trump and Melania both attended Jimmy Carter’s funeral at the Capitol in Washington, DC last week.
MELANIA’S NEW DOC
Melania will release a new documentary that will air later this year.
She explained that her book was successful and admitted she was proud of the reaction behind her book.
Her memoir titled Melania was released in October.
Melania explained that her film is a day-to-day snapshot covering the transition to moving into the White House.
During her interview with Earhardt, Melania opened up on the process of moving back into the White House.
She revealed the big difference would be that she knows where she will be going and the rooms.
“I know the process,” Melania added.
She admitted the first time the process was challenging due to information apparently being upheld.
“But, this time, I have everything,” she said.
“I have the plans. I could move in.”
She also revealed the transition team has only five hours to move the Biden family out.
“Everything needs to be planned out to the minute,” she said.
TRUMP’S HEADING TO DC
Melania has revealed she’s already packed, picked out the furniture, and is ready to move into the White House next week.
“It’s a very different transition, this time, second time around,” she said.
Melania said she would make a few changes regarding decorations, but nothing too substantial.
The former first lady also delved into how she has been carving out her team ready to move back into the White House.
She said she still has a few positions to fill when it comes to her team.
But, she warned she doesn’t want to hire too many people.
“I want to make sure every position – they are talented and they have merit.
“They know what they’re doing as well and a team player.”
Melania warned that her appointees will not have “their own agenda.”
She also revealed what she plans to achieve while in the White House.
Melania launched Be Best, an initiative against cyberbullying, and said she plans to expand the campaign.
