As opposed to now?
Melania 'distancing herself' from Trump and probably won't return to White House: report
Melania Trump won't likely spend much time in Washington, D.C., if her husband gets re-elected to a second term, according to those who follow her activities.
The former first lady was so reclusive during Donald Trump's first term in office that many wondered whether she lived at the White House or with her parents in the suburbs, and Melania-ologists surveyed by Axios speculated that she would most likely spend a potential second term splitting time between Palm Beach and New York, where son Barron is rumored to be attending NYU.
She views the role of first lady as "unelected, not paid," said Mary Jordan, a Washington Post associate editor and author of a book about Melania, and would likely come to the White House if her husband is re-elected only for ceremonial undertaking such as state dinners or special events.

That's all, really? Sounds like Trump is not actually all that good at making deals. Is he getting everything he's paying for?

(38,750 posts)Has she even appeared at a single event in this 4-year campaign? Even fundraisers?
Barron at NYU? That is not going to go well.

(19,430 posts)Paid or not depends on how explicit the (re-revised?) prenup was about any such duties. Because she's definitely being paid, in a fashion if not explicitly, to be married to TCF.

Stay the hell out of OUR house, that includes your family values Christian man whore.
Plastic will not be kind to her in hells fire.
I dont know, maybe she will get a nice cool seat next to Satan. She proves she would sell her ass to win Satan over.

Half the time they are the ones doing booze and hookers.

(81,426 posts)Yes the SS is notorious for going on location with POTUS while boozing with hookers.
Not showing up for shifts, having hookers in the hotel with them while on duty.
It is a miracle POTUSes manage to stay alive.

Unbelievable! , but True.
Irish_Dem
(81,426 posts)Birds of a feather, etc.
Of course the worst President in US history would be married to a Russian handler and hooker.

(11,423 posts)but not the duties and responsibilities. Jetting off in a government plane to hobnob with foreign leaders at a state dinner someone else planned and organized - she'll be right there (and wearing an expensive gown "lent" to her by the designer). Continuing the unpaid "Be Best" program? She needs to see the benefit to her - and the cash - first. The woman has always been coin-operated.

(41,702 posts)And they were far better First Ladies than Melania ever could have been.
We all know this is rubbish ... she made a deal not to divorce Chump, and he's already set up the trust fund for Barron. So she has very little use for him as a husband or companion.

To leave their mark on American history.
To support their spouse in any way they can.

(3,472 posts)I guess when you're an "alleged" Russian asset and have other priorities, you'd have contempt for the role of First Lady. But to be so obvious...ugh for us all. Thank God that was a one and done. The Trumps are NOT going back to the WH.
