As First Lady, Melania Trump wants to be a positive, unifying force for good in return to White House

Melania Trump answers questions from the live 'Fox & Friends' audience on her Election Night plans, her pro-choice beliefs, advice for young mothers and her hope for America's future.

Melania Trump also made history election night, becoming the second presidential spouse to serve two non-consecutive terms as first lady. She was already the second first lady born outside the United States. While President-elect Donald Trump works to put together the senior members of his administration, Mrs. Trump is doing the same for the East Wing with great intentionality.

She told "Fox & Friends," "I have much more experience, much more knowledge. I was in the White House before. So when you go in, you know exactly what to expect. You know what kind of people you need to get." As stated in her best-selling memoir, "Melania," she has a "strong sense of duty to use [her] platform as First Lady for good." Her recent interviews all signal a secure, comfortable, and deliberate first lady who knows what she wants to achieve and understands the significance of legacy, with the advantage of having served four years before.

Our incoming first lady is notably demure and mindful of the importance of her role despite the lack of positive media attention she received compared to many of her recent predecessors. Her bold support of children through her BE BEST initiative took her to dozens of events all over the U.S. and abroad, including several African countries, and a trip to the southern border to see the impact our immigration system has on children and families firsthand.

Mrs. Trump has made it clear that focusing on the current and future needs of America’s children will be at the center of her second-term platform.
