Melania Trump 'Better Prepared' To Be First Lady Again; To Increase Public Appearances For Husband: Report
Melania Trump is reportedly gearing up for an increased public presence in 2024.
An unnamed source told Page Six that Mar-a-Lago insiders claimed the former first lady has agreed to engage in more "top-tier diplomatic appearances" next year.
Donald Trump's recent Supreme Court win in his federal election subversion case has made his family "so secure" that he will be elected president again, the source claimed. Enstarz could not independently verify this information.
According to the source, Melania is more assured of herself, both as her husband's representative and as a diplomatic figure, following the "positive reception" she received at Rosalynn Carter's funeral last month.
The source emphasized Melania's growing confidence and preparation for a potential return to the role of first lady.
"Melania realizes it's her time to join the ranks of historic first ladies and leave her mark on history... She feels better prepared for her potential role the second time around," the source claimed.
With her son Barron now 17 years old, the source said Melania believes she can devote more time to the role.
The former first lady and the rest of the former president's immediate family are "solidly behind" him as he seeks reelection, the source added.
Melania has made several public appearances in recent weeks, such as attending the Patriot Awards ceremony at Mar-a-Lago, where she and Trump were described as being in "great moods" by an unnamed eyewitness who spoke to Page Six.
Trump delivered a speech at the event, during which he allegedly joked about his classified documents case.
Melania's increased public presence aligns with her endorsement of her husband's 2024 presidential campaign.
During a May interview with Fox News Digital, she expressed her commitment to working alongside Trump if she becomes first lady again in 2024.
The former model also emphasized her dedication to initiatives focused on the well-being and development of children.
Since leaving Washington D.C., Melania has extended her "Be Best" initiative, creating "Fostering the Future" to provide computer science scholarships to children aging out of foster care.
Melania said she aims to reduce the gap in access to higher education for former foster children and has already awarded scholarships to two individuals.
Melania also made a rare public appearance on Dec. 15 at a naturalization ceremony for new American citizens at the National Archives.
The event, held on Bill of Rights Day, saw 25 people from 25 nations sworn in as U.S. citizens.
In a statement to Politico, the National Archives said Melania did not attend the ceremony in a political capacity but was invited due to her unique role as the nation's only naturalized first lady.
