Melania Trump reveals how often she and Barron will be in the White House as she talks about her $40 million documentary

Melania Trump revealed the details of her $40 million documentary, where she will live as first lady and whether Barron will come to the White House in a new interview that aired Monday.

The future first lady opened up in a sit-down with Ainsley Earhardt on Fox & Friends about her plans for her second term in the White House.

She hinted that, unlike her first four years in the position, she plans to take a much more high-profile role in the White House. In addition to her documentary, she plans to expand her Be Best campaign.

She explained how she feels much more prepared to be the president’s spouse this time around.

‘I know where I’m going. I know the rooms where we will live. I know the process, she said.

Melania Trump spent much of her first term as first lady focused on raising her son Barron, who was 11 years old when Donald Trump first became president. He spent his teenage years growing up in the residence. Melania Trump was a protective mother who rarely let him into the public eye.

But Barron is 18 now and a freshman at New York University. She said he would come to visit.

“He comes to visit, yes,” she said. ‘I feel like kids we have them feel like they’re 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them. And then we give them the wings to fly. And I always respect Barron’s yes and no, and what he likes to do, where he wants to be.’

Melania Trump also offered new details about her upcoming documenttary.

She said it was her idea and it came to her after her memoir, Melania, became a bestseller.

‘The book was such a success and I am very proud and I get so many messages and letters saying how they are enjoying the book. And they would love – my fans and people would love – to hear more from me. So I had an idea to make a movie, to make a movie about my life,’ she said.

‘My life is incredible. It’s incredibly busy. And I told my agent, you know, I have this idea. So please, you know, go out and make me an appointment.’

The film will focus on what it’s like for her to return to the White House for a second term. It will be released in theaters this fall and later on Amazon.

Amazon paid $40 million for the rights to the documentary. It is unclear how much of the money went to the future first lady, who is listed as a producer on the film.

Melania Trump is not subject to the kind of federal regulations on money-making that Donald Trump is as president. She is not a government employee and faces no legal restrictions on serving financially as First Lady.

The documentary began filming in November and will continue production through Inauguration Day.

“It’s a daily life, what I do, what kind of responsibilities I have,” she said.

“People don’t really know and they want to see that — it’s day-to-day from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team,” she added, noting that it will include “what needs to to make your home. To hire the people you need.’

There have been reports that Melania Trump will be a part-time first lady and spend much of her time in New York, where her son Barron Trump is a student at New York University.

But she said she will be in the White House as needed.

‘I want to be in the White House. When I’m going to be in New York, I want to be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I want to be in Palm Beach,’ she said.

‘My first priority is, you know, being a mother, being a first lady, being a wife. And once we’re in on January 20, you serve the country.’

Melania Trump revealed that she has already chosen the furniture and other items for the upper floors where the first family lives. And it will be mostly like it was four years ago when the Trumps lived there.

‘A little bit of changes. Not much, she said.

White House staff spend January 20 moving the Bidens out and the Trumps in.

Removal trucks were seen at the White House last week. Packing materials — piles of boxes and rolls of bubble wrap — were unloaded to begin packing the Bidens’ belongings.

The staff has approximately five hours on opening day to turn the home around. When the Trumps enter the upper floors after the inauguration ceremony, all of their belongings will be unpacked and waiting for them.

“The first time was challenging,” Melania admitted of moving into the White House in January 2017.

‘We didn’t have much of the information that the information was maintained for us from the previous administration, but this time I have everything. I have the plans. I could move in. I already packed. I have already chosen the furniture that will go in. So it’s a very different transition this time, the second time.’

Now she feels more prepared.

She said she has filled a few positions for her east wing staff, but will wait to hire more. And she plans to revive her signature Be Best campaign, which focused on helping children.

“I have a few positions I need to fill,” she said. ‘I don’t want to rush into it. I will see when I am in the White House and what is needed. I don’t want to hire too many people on my team and spend too much taxpayer money. I want to make sure that every position they are talented has merit. They know what they are doing. And as good as they are a team player. They don’t have their own agenda, so they serve me.’

In her second term as first lady, Melania Trump said she wants to expand Be Best and hopes to get business support in her efforts.

‘I started in the first administration, I didn’t have much support from anyone. I invited all streaming platforms to the White House. I had the round table. And I didn’t get much support from them. And imagine what we could do in those years if they would stand behind me and teach the kids and protect them about social media and their mental health.’

And Melania Trump made it clear that she wants to be her own woman in her second term as first lady.

“I feel like I was always me the first time, too,” she said.

‘I just feel like people didn’t accept me, maybe. They didn’t understand me as they might now. And I didn’t have much support. Maybe some people see me as just the president’s wife. But I stand 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 says or does, and that’s okay’.
