According to a recent report, former President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, have struck a deal for if he returns to office next January.
According to the report from Page Six, which cited a source familiar with the matter, the former first lady is looking to do things differently this time around, hoping to spend less time in the spotlight.
“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,” a source was quoted as saying.
The report also noted that Melania Trump made the “deal” with her husband so she could spend more time with their 18-year-old son, Barron Trump.
The last of Trump’s children graduated from high school this spring and is planning on going to college in New York City. The report said that Melania Trump wants to be able to help him as he adjusts to his new life.
“She’s a hands-on mother and is already planning to spend part of every month — and potentially every week — in NYC,” the source added.
The source went on to share with Page Six that this will be the first time Barron lives by himself in his adult life and that as “an extremely protective mother,” Melania Trump wants to be able to support him.
“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 the reaction at his school over Barron’s ever-present Secret Service [detail],” the source said.
