In an interview with Fox & Friends, Melania Trump, whose husband sworn in as a president of the United States for the second time on January 20, spoke about being a First Lady again. Asked if there would be any differences in how she and Donald moved into the White House this time, compared to their move after the administration of the Obamas, she didn’t hold back.
Among the rest, Melania said, “The difference is I know where I will be going. I know the rooms where we will be living. I know the process.
“The first time was challenging, we didn’t have much of the information, the information was upheld (withheld) for us from previous administration.”
However, this wasn’t everything Melania Trump had to say about the Obamas.
In her book titles Melania, the Slovenian-born former model said the Obamas denied the family ‘crucial’ early access to the residence. This resulted in delays with the renovations.
Moreover, “protocols and politics” interrupted the smooth transition she hoped for.
“Unfortunately my plans to begin preparing the residence before the inauguration were disrupted by protocols and politics,” she wrote in her bestseller book.
“Sadly our team did not receive the access we had requested to visit the White House residence in December.”
At the time, Melania wanted to provide suitable conditions for her son, Barron.
Her son was attending Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in New York City. She and Barron only moved to the White House after the end of the school year.
“While the logistics of relocating can be challenging, my priority was to create a sense of stability and familiarity for Barron during this transition.
“I was dedicated to ensuring that he had a smooth and positive experience,” she wrote.
Melania recalled that she started the renovations after they moved to the White House, as the Obamas broke a ‘customary’ tradition.
“Those three weeks would have been crucial for taking measurements, gathering plans, and starting preparations.”
Further, she opened up about the condition of the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue residence when Donald took office.
“The existing style was outdated or not to my taste,” Melania wrote.
“Barron’s room was a priority. He was the first young boy to live in the White House since John Kennedy Jr.” However, the children’s bedrooms had been decorated for girls for sixty years. The mom of one wanted to create a place that would suit her son’s needs.
Meanwhile, former First Lady Michelle Obama did not join her husband at Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
