Melania Trump will be ‘part-time first lady, full-time mother’ to Barron during second term, plans to split time between homes
Incoming first lady Melania Trump plans to split her time between New York, Florida and DC during President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in office — “so she can be the hands-on mother to Barron that she is,” a source told The Post Wednesday.
“Melania will be the first lady, but only on her terms,” the Mar-a-Lago insider said. “She’ll do the big events. But no ladies’ tea and no — or very few — interviews.”
“She views winning as the main show, and the rest she’ll do as she pleases,” the source continued. “She’s really in the driver’s seat as to her duties at the White House.
“Melania will be a part time first lady — while being a full-time mother and wife.”
Although the Trumps live at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, they still maintain their residence at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, where 18-year-old Barron lives as he enjoys his first year at New York University.
“I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” she told Fox News in late September.
“It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York, study in New York, and live in his home and I respect that.
“He’s enjoying his college days. I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18-, 19-year-old child,” she added.
The former model recently told Fox News that she’s less anxious about this term than the last.
“This time is different,” she said. “I have much more experience and much more knowledge. I was in the White House before. When you go in, you know exactly what to expect.”
