Melania Trump has always prioritized her child’s needs. Although she is in her second term as First Lady term, and thus has innumerable duties to perform, the former model has made it clear that Barron will always come first. She has reportedly even pledged not to live at the White House full-time, the better to support her son in New York instead.

Still, could modern technology perhaps play a part in how we raise our children? In a surprising statement, Melania has said AI and children should be viewed and treated in the same way.

Melania Trump is now back living at the White House for a second time. Initially, the wife of Donald Trump was rumored to have been dreading another term in Washington. However, things appeared to have changed, and when the 2024 Presidential Election edged closer, she showed her public support for Donald, eventually agreeing to take up residence in America’s most famous home for a second time.

Yet while Melania was open to staying at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for another four years, she made it clear that this time things would be different.

I will be in the White House. And you know when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. But my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country,” Melania told Fox News.

And she wasn’t lying when she said the circumstances of her second term as First Lady would be different from the first. Melania stayed out of the spotlight for large parts of the first months after her husband was reelected. In early May, the New York Times shared that in the first 108 days, Melania had spent less than 14 of them at the White House.

The newspaper wrote: “At the White House this time around, Mr. Trump has taken to performing some duties that typically would fall to a first lady. She’s not the one carefully selecting light fixtures for the White House residence, redesigning the Rose Garden, greeting tour groups in the East Wing, or hosting receptions for Women’s History Month. He is.”

Historian and first lady expert, Katherine Jellison, told the New York Times: “We haven’t seen such a low-profile first lady since Bess Truman, and that’s going way back in living human memory, nearly 80 years ago.”
