In her interview with Fox & Friends, Melania Trump reveals what the documentary will show. Melania explains that the production for the documentary began in November 2024 and they are still currently shooting.

The documentary will show her ‘day-to-day life’, from what she does to the kind of responsibilities she has. The documentary will also show Melania and her family moving into the White House and ‘what it takes to make the residence your home’.

The public will get to see Melania’s working side, as the documentary captures her setting up her First Lady team.

Ainsley Earhardt asks Melania what is different this time around when it comes to moving back into the White House. Melania responds that this time she ‘knows the process’.

The first time was challenging. We didn’t have much of the information. The information was withheld for us from the previous administration.

Melania also speaks about her experience as First Lady back in 2016, explaining that she ‘didn’t have much support’. She also adds that the first time, ‘people didn’t accept her’ and ‘didn’t understand her’.

I feel I was always me the first time as well. I just feel that people didn’t accept me. Maybe they didn’t understand me the way. Maybe they do now. And I didn’t have much support.

Melania then emphasises that people only saw her as the wife of the President, when in fact she is ‘independent’ from her husband and she is ‘standing on her own two feet’.

I have my own thoughts. I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree with what my husband is saying or doing, and that’s okay.
