Melania Trump recently reflected on life after her husband’s election victory, offering rare insights into her son Barron’s contributions to the campaign, her husband’s quirky dance moves, and her plans for the White House. Speaking to “Fox & Friends” in her first interview since the election, the former First Lady revealed a mix of humor, pride, and practicality as she prepared for her family’s second term in the White House.
Melania described Barron, now 18, as a “grown young man” and expressed immense pride in his political insights. While his recent viral moment—a childhood clip of him marveling at his Louis Vuitton “soot case”—showcased his youthful charm, Barron has grown into a savvy advisor for his father.
According to Melania, Barron’s knowledge of social media and podcast culture helped the Trump campaign connect with younger voters.
“He brought in so many young people he knows from his generation,” she said, crediting his ability to navigate modern platforms like podcasts and streaming services. Despite his contributions, she acknowledged the challenges he faces as a college student at NYU, navigating both fame and a Secret Service detail. “It’s very different than any other kid’s experience,” she noted.
The former First Lady also weighed in on Donald Trump’s signature dance moves, which have gone viral thanks to their infectious energy and imitation by athletes and fans alike.
Laughing, she called his moves “very special and unique,” and admitted she’s never attempted them herself. “He’s coming all on his own,” she quipped, adding that others seem to enjoy copying his style.
Melania detailed her approach to her role in the White House, emphasizing her readiness to hit the ground running. From hiring staff to reviving her “Be Best” initiative, she expressed confidence in her preparations, noting the advantage of past experience.
She also touched on her collectibles business, which includes NFTs and Christmas ornaments, highlighting her entrepreneurial efforts.
While Melania didn’t directly address the viral Barron video, she sounded nostalgic as she reflected on how quickly time has passed. “It feels like it was just a few months ago,” she said wistfully.
As the Trump family readies itself for another term, Melania’s mix of humor, pride, and determination paints a portrait of a woman balancing family, legacy, and a return to the public spotlight.
