Melania Trump made savage comment about how the Obamas left the White House before Trump moved in the first time round

Melania Trump, in her memoir Melania, shared candid reflections on the challenges her family faced when transitioning into the White House in 2017. The former First Lady voiced strong opinions about the state of the residence during the Obama administration and detailed the obstacles that delayed her plans for renovations.

Melania revealed that her plans to begin preparing the White House residence before the inauguration were thwarted, citing a lack of early access traditionally granted to incoming first families. She wrote, “Unfortunately, my plans to begin preparing the residence before the inauguration were disrupted by protocols and politics. Sadly, our team did not receive the access we had requested to visit the White House residence in December.”

This delay, she noted, significantly impacted the Trump family’s ability to settle in. Melania highlighted the importance of these three weeks for planning renovations and creating a comfortable environment for her family, particularly for her son, Barron.

Melania emphasized her focus on providing stability for Barron during the move, especially as he transitioned to a new school in Washington, D.C. She wrote, “While the logistics of relocating can be challenging, my priority was to create a sense of stability and familiarity for Barron during this transition. I was dedicated to ensuring that he had a smooth and positive experience.”

Once in the White House, Melania turned her attention to updating the residence to better suit her family’s needs and style. She was notably critical of the state of the White House, stating, “The existing style was outdated or not to my taste.”

Barron’s room was a top priority for the First Lady. She noted, “He was the first young boy to live in the White House since John Kennedy Jr., and the children’s bedrooms had been decorated for girls for sixty years. It was important to create a space that suited Barron’s interests.”

Melania also shared insights into her future approach as First Lady. While the White House served as the family’s primary residence, she planned to divide her time between Washington, D.C., New York, and Florida, prioritizing her roles as a mother, wife, and public servant.

In an interview with Fox and Friends, she explained, “My first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a First Lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on Jan. 20, you serve the country.”

Melania’s reflections provide a glimpse into the personal challenges and priorities she navigated as she stepped into her role as First Lady, balancing family responsibilities with the demands of public life.
