Melania Trump Reflects on Marriage and Journey to First Lady

Melania Trump Reflects on Becoming First Lady

Melania Trump recently sat down for her first interview in two years with *FOX & Friends*, where she discussed her journey to becoming the First Lady of the United States and how her background in the fashion industry prepared her for the intense public scrutiny that came with the role. Her career in modeling, which began after she arrived in the United States in 1996, played a pivotal role in shaping her resilience.

In the interview, Melania opened up about her family, her relationship with former President Donald Trump, and their son, Barron Trump. She described how the lessons learned during her modeling career helped her navigate the demands of public life and offered insights into the dynamics of her personal life.

Melania Trump’s Journey From Model to First Lady

Melania’s journey to becoming First Lady began when she arrived in the United States from Slovenia in 1996. She pursued a career in fashion, which not only opened doors but also taught her how to handle the pressures of being in the spotlight. "I think nothing prepared me more to be first lady in front of the world than the fashion industry," she reflected during the interview, acknowledging that the glamorous industry could be "very tough."

Her path to citizenship followed, and she expressed pride in becoming a U.S. citizen in 2006, ten years after arriving in the country. "I went through the process, and that day was a big celebration," she said.

Life With Donald Trump and Their Family

Melania met Donald Trump early in her career, and though he had always been interested in politics, she revealed that a presidential bid was never discussed when they started dating. The couple became engaged in 2004 and were married the following year in Palm Beach, Florida, in what Melania described as a "busy" but "exciting" day.

In 2006, Melania gave birth to their son, Barron Trump. She emphasized that she was content with having just one child, a decision she made based on the demands of their life. "I'm completely fine with one because it's a very busy life," she explained, noting that she was largely responsible for managing their household.

Melania Trump on Barron’s Future

Now a young man, Barron Trump is currently studying at New York University's Stern School of Business, and Melania expressed admiration for her son. "He's an incredible young man," she said, praising his strength, intelligence, and kindness. Melania added that Barron is enjoying his time in college.

During the interview, she also discussed the importance of individuality and respect in managing relationships within their blended family, which includes Donald Trump's children from his previous marriages. "You cannot control anyone," she stated. "You could control only your own behavior."

The Role of Fashion in Preparing for Public Life

Melania spoke at length about how her modeling career shaped her ability to handle public scrutiny. The fashion world, according to her, can be a harsh environment. "Everybody judges you, [looks] at you a certain way," she said, noting that it helped her develop "thick skin." This resilience would later prove invaluable during her time in the White House, where the pressures were even greater.

As First Lady, Melania became known for her style and poise, attributes she credited to her years in the fashion industry. "It gives you a thick skin," she reiterated, explaining how this experience allowed her to navigate the spotlight as the First Lady.

Melania on Donald Trump’s Political Interests

Though Donald Trump has always been politically aware, Melania clarified that his bid for the presidency was not something they discussed early in their relationship. "He always was involved in politics," she said, noting that he was well-informed on both national and global issues. However, she made it clear that they did not plan his run for the highest office during the early years of their relationship.

Despite the challenges that came with Donald Trump's political career, Melania described their relationship as strong, pointing to his humor, kindness, and energy as qualities that she admires. "His positivity. His energy. It's unbelievable," she said, adding that they share a "beautiful relationship."

Preparing for Life Beyond the White House

In addition to reflecting on her time in the White House, Melania discussed her hopes for the future. While much of the interview focused on her past experiences, her upcoming memoir, *Melania*, is expected to provide further insights into her life before, during, and after her time as First Lady.

This interview marked a rare public appearance for Melania, who has kept a relatively low profile since leaving the White House in 2021. With her memoir set for release, it seems Melania is ready to share more of her story with the world.
