Melania Trump plans to take on larger role at White House, to reveal her ‘day-to-day life’ in upcoming documentary
“It’s a day-to-day life what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have.”
“It’s a day-to-day life what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have.”

In an interview that aired Monday morning, incoming First Lady Melania Trump spoke on her upcoming documentary and her return to the White House next week. She indicated that she plans on taking on a higher profile role as her husband enters the White House for a second term.
Trump told Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that she came up with the idea for the documentary, which Amazon spent $40 million to license, after her memoir, Melania, became a best seller.
"The book was such a success and I'm very proud and I get so many messages and letters how they enjoy the book. And they would love - my fans and people would love - to hear more from me. So I had an idea to make a movie, to make a film about my life," she said. "My life is incredible. It's incredibly busy. And I told my agent, you know, I have this idea. So please, you know, go out and make a deal for me."

I invited all of the streaming platforms to the White House. I had the round table. And I didn't have much support from them. And imagine what we could do in those years if they would rally behind me and teach the children and protect them about the social media and their mental health.”
The film, which will focus on her return to the White House, will be released to theaters in the fall and also be available for streaming on Amazon. She said that the film began production in November and was currently filming for it.
"It's a day-to-day life what I'm doing, what kind of responsibilities I have. People don't really know and they will see it — it's day-to-day from transition team to moving to the White House, packing, establishing my team," she continued.
Trump said she was more prepared to move into the White House this time around, already choosing furniture and other items for the upper floors where the first family resides. "A little bit of changes. Not much," she said of her decorating choices.
The Daily Mail noted that White House staff has around five hours on Inauguration Day to move out the Bidens and move in the Trumps, and moving trucks were spotted at the White House last week with packing materials being unloaded.
She said the first time they moved into the White House was "challenging," because "We didn't have much of the information" because it was "upheld for us from previous administration but this time I have everything. I have the plans. I could move in. I already packed. I already selected the, you know, the furniture that needs to go in. So, it's very different transition this time, second time around."
She said she wants to be selective in hiring for her staff, saying, "I have a few positions I need to hire. I will not rush into that. I will see when I'm in the White House and what is needed. I don't want to hire too many people on my team and spending too much taxpayer money. I want to make sure every position they are talented, they have merit. They know what they are doing. And as well as they are a team player. They don't have their own agenda so, they serving me."
