‘Hands-on mother’ Melania Trump has deal with Donald to not be ‘24/7′ first lady if he wins presidency
If Donald Trump wins the White House, don’t expect Melania Trump to be on full-time first lady duty, a source tells Page Six.
A Trumpworld insider says that, “Melania has made a deal with her husband that if he wins the presidency she will not have to be on first lady duty 24/7.”
The development comes as it’s speculated that their son, Barron Trump, will attend New York University in the fall.
Says our insider of Melania: “She’s a hands-on mother, and is already planning to spend part of every month — and potentially every week — in NYC,” should Barron, 18, attend NYU.
The insider added that Barron would need additional adjustment to college life if his dad is the president.
“Barron has never been completely on his own before — and with the added stress of him being both a freshman in college and potentially the son of a president in a predominantly Democratic city, [Melania] wants to be close… The added attention he’ll get if his father is president worries Melania who is also concerned about reaction at his school over Barron’s ever-present Secret Service [detail].”
The source familiar with the Trump family said that, “Melania is an extremely protective mother and even pushed back on the idea that Barron would serve as a Republican delegate to the [Republican National Convention] from Florida.”
In May, Melania’s office announced that Barron was regretfully declining the offer from the Florida Republican Party to be a delegate for the state as he had prior commitments.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the statement said.
It would’ve marked the first time the youngest member of the Trump family would’ve been directly involved in politics.
Siblings Don Jr., Eric and Tiffany Trump are all acting as delegates The Post previously reported.
As for Melania, “She feels safe in NYC and in Trump Tower herself, and it’s Barron’s home, and that’s why she wants him to go to school in NYC,” the source said. “She can provide both emotional and physical support by being close. Everyone remembers how she delayed moving to Washington, DC, until Barron finished school.”
In 2017, Melania delayed moving into the White House with Barron for five months, so he could could finish the school year uninterrupted in NYC.
“She does not want a non-stop schedule of events in the White House, and makes the point she can be both a hands-on mother and First Lady at the same time.”
The source adds that, “Donald is close to Barron, but isn’t going to tossing footballs with him when he’s the president and the head of the free world. Donald has already agreed to this, and feels that mothers and parents across the country will understand Melania’s devotion to their son.”
The source added: “Donald trusts Melania to bring up their son the same way he trusted Ivana to bring up their children… Donald feels it worked for Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr.”
