Melania Trump
'I think the energy is different.'

Soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump said Friday that preparing to enter the White House for the second time looks a lot different from the first go-around. Now, she and her husband know what to expect.

“You know what you need to establish, you know what kind of people you need to hire for your office,” she said on “Fox & Friends” in a rare television appearance, where she showed off holiday ornaments she’s selling and her memoir as Christmas approaches.

She said the pace has been fast, as Donald Trump works to build his administration: “It’s incredible and we are very, very busy.” She’s packing up so “we can start on Day 1.”

She said her husband’s attitude after his 2024 win was not the same as when he won in 2016. “The country and the people really supported him,” she said. “I think the energy is different. People around him are different.”

The incoming First Lady also praised her 18-year-old son Barron, crediting him with helping his father find new ways to reach the audience that elected him President. Trump has four other children.

“He is a grown young man, I’m very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving advice to his father,” she said. “He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation.”

She described working on her memoirs as a process that was “very personal and could be sometimes very joyful, but also traumatic and hard.”

    Why do you think we care about what the gold digger Melania thinks?? She cares about no one but herself same as her husband. She didn’t do the things First Lady’s do for organizations she detested having to do any community outreach and remember her ugly Xmas decorating of the White House. She is Not a warm caring person so I don’t care what she thinks.

        Ed, I think Victoria is referring to the Marie Antoinette inspired coat she wore. I did agree with Melanoma about the Christas decorations, an elaborate waste of money that has become a first lady requirement.
        It matters not to me what she does or says, but being and staying married to what’s his name puts her in the ranks of Joan of Arc and Mother Teresa. Happy Holidays.

    America, we fully expect the 8idens to steal everything thats not nailed down from the White House down to the last monogramed teaspoon.
    Also I’m working with the Transition Team to set up the fumagation of the entire White House to kill anything Hunter brought in, such as. Sexually Transmittable Desieses, cocaine residue, and bed-bugs.
    All the sheets on beds Hunter slept on must be burned due to the sheets being covered with peter tracks.
    Joe had a bad habit of getting out of bed at night and taking a dookie in closets and the kitchen pantry.
    Needless to say we will all be wearing hazmat suits for a few weeks untill we deem it safe for occupancy by “The Sage First Family.
    Thank you America,
    Earl

    Minutes is she will spend as little time there as she did on the campaign trail and we certainly won’t see her championing worthy causes as other First Ladies have done.

    If he makes good on the promise of ending birthright citizenship, Melania and her parents should be right out of here.

    We’ll see if that happens. Just guessing deportation will happen to persons with last names like Garcia, Perez, Rodriguez, Sanchez, before it will happen to anyone whose last name is Knauss, Trump, Musk, or Ramaswamy.

    Or Swenson, or Clark, or Jones, or Smith, or Johnson, or McCoy or Barnaby or … you get it.

    You think all the bad stuff is going to happen to THEM, not you.

    But you are wrong.

      I guess that could include Baron too. So sad and think of the Statue of Liberty with head bowed in sorrow as to what is happening in our country. Thankful that my grandparents could immigrate freely and become citizens easily, but now, maybe I’d like to move back to their homeland of Denmark where people are respected and the conversation is civil and they actually, care for their people in so many ways!
