As First Lady, returning with her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, the inauguration date for Melania is approaching.
Ahead of her second White House term, Melania makes an appearance in a recent interview with Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt.
In 2017 transition, the former First Lady spoke about the experiences and what was learned, and observed the challenges.
She also talked about what she plans to do this time around to simplify the process, having been through it before.
But this time, Melania said she feels more prepared and confident managing the logistics of moving back into the White House.
“I know where I’m going, I know the rooms we will be living in, I know the process,” she said.
“I am already packed,” she added. “I’ve already picked out what goes in.” “This is a very different transition than last time.”
Unlike many of her recent moves to the presidential residence, where she then became increasingly haunted by the lawyer a decade earlier in the Oval Office investigation by the independent counsel, her confidence in the preparations now was stark in contrast.
Melania also spoke about planting her “Be Best” initiative, which purports to aid with the creation of a better youth and the resolution of cyberbullying.
But she said she was optimistic about such an impact in the next couple of years amid some initial challenges of the first term.
She acknowledged the difficulties: ‘I know we have a lot to do, but I am ready to make a difference again.’
Melania also shared how she’s going to keep the balance between her responsibilities as a mother and her career.
She also said that she and her son, Barron, would split their time between New York City, Palm Beach, Fla., and the White House.
In remarks that provided a window into her vision for how to combine her personal and professional roles in her second stint as First Lady, she said.
Melania has kept out of the political spotlight to a large extent, but her initiatives and plans indicate she’s ready to be more active.
But in a surprise revelation, she suggested a big hurdle to the transition that followed the 2016 election.
Melania said during the 2017 handover, the out-going Obama administration withheld critical information.
“When we first did it we really didn’t have much of the information.”
“The previous administration also withheld the information from us, that made the process harder,” she said.
Melania’s reflection on the statement has made people curious and debating on the complexities of presidential transitions.
When the Trumps are ready to return to the White House, Melania’s comments show how important it is to foster smooth cooperation at times like these.
Her candid remarks have heightened the intrigue of this already talked about transition and people are excited to see it play out.
