First Lady Melania Trump stole the show during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning.
The hosts asked her how life had changed since President Trump’s historical and massive victory on November 5.
“It’s incredible and we are very, very busy,” Mrs. Trump remarked. She told the hosts that she had begun establishing her transition team, working on her office, organizing, and packing for her return to the White House.
One host recounted Mrs. Trump’s experience with resistance from the Obama family in 2016 when she was trying to plan for the move. The First Lady said, “This time it’s very different because we already know where we are going, and we have all of the plans from before. So, we don’t need to go back in.”
She added that it was “a plus” that her transition team has been in communication with the White House. She told the hosts, “The first time was challenging, we didn’t have much access.”
The discussion shifted to the smooth appearance of President Trump’s transition process with the group comparing it to his 2016 transition.
One host told Mrs. Trump, “We all remember in 2017 when he became President, you know, during this transition period, it was kind of a mad dash,” but added, “He’s won before. He knows what to do. It seems much more focused and really efficient.”
The host quipped that he was not sure if Elon Musk, whom he called “the efficiency guy,” had anything to do with it, but that the transition “seemed so much calmer.”
Mrs. Trump told the hosts, “I think it’s, for everybody, even for me, it’s very different.” She said the processes were “already established” and she knew the type of people she needed to hire to hit the ground running.
The group discussed various other topics, including her Be Best initiative, political violence, and the public infatuation with her son, Barron Trump.
She talked about how he advised his father on how to connect with younger voters using TikTok and podcast appearances.
Mrs. Trump also surprised visiting military and first responder families during her appearance on the show.
