What will Melania Trump do after her husband's presidency?
It is now certain that the next tenant of the White House will be Joe Biden. The Trump family, despite Donald Trump refusing to accept the outcome of the elections, is preparing to leave the presidential residence. Many now wonder, what will Melania Trump do once the family leaves the White House? Several sources have shared their predictions on what will happen to the first lady.
Katherine Jellison, a history professor at the University of Ohio, believes the first lady will return to Florida or New York. She said, "I assume that Ms. Trump will go back to Florida, or maybe she'll be able to persuade her husband to return to New York as an official residence, and continue the kind of life she led before the White House."
Anita McBride's opinion
Anita McBride, former chief of staff at First Lady Laura Bush who now runs the Legacies of America's First Ladies Initiative at American University, said there is “a certain disappointment not to have this option again (to be in the White House ) after working hard ". McBride said: “This year, Melania will have to decorate the White House for President Trump's final Christmas season. Subsequently, Melania will likely focus on her family, especially her son, Barron. Helping him manage this transition will be very important ”.
McBride also added that Melania may continue to support some of her causes such as neonatal drug addiction. It could work with groups and organizations, visit hospitals and host round tables on these issues.
What Melania Trump will do: Kate Brower's opinion
Kate Andersen Brower, a journalist and author of White House books including "First Women," said the imminent departure could be a good release for Melania who went through a lot of hardships while her husband was President. She said: "I think Melania will probably be secretly relieved." As for Melania's career, Bower said she could make money by writing a book like Michelle Obama's "Becoming". In fact, he stated: “I think Melania will go back to that lady-who-lunch lifestyle, which is totally her right to do, but if she wrote a book she could make a lot of money. If he wrote a no-holds-barred book, like Nancy Reagan's memoir My Turn, it would do very well. "
