Melania Trump has spoken out for first time since Donald's election win in a brand-new interview.

Melania was previously the First Lady from 2017 to 2021 during her husband's first administration. She's going to be returning to the White House once again after Donald was declared the 47th President of the United States following his election win against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

Since the election, Melania has sat down and opened up about her transition back into the White House in her first sit-down since the election.

Speaking to Fox, the 54-year-old called the election result 'incredible'.

"It's incredible," she said about her husband’s win over Democrat candidate Kamala Harris. "And, we are very, very busy… I'm establishing my transition team. And also, working on my office, putting my office together, and also, you know, organising the residence and packing."

She added: "It's incredible what you need to do when in that situation."

Noting that this transition process is 'different' compared to the last one, Melania explained: "Well, this time is very different because we already know where we are going. And, we have all of the plans from before, so we don't need to go back in.

"My team is in contact with the White House, so, that's a plus. But we have all what we need."

Elsewhere in the Fox interview, Melania praised her and Donald's 18-year-old son, Barron, for reportedly pushing his dad to do podcasts that reached a considerable number of young men - a demographic that was instrumental in his win.

She said: "He's a grown young man. I'm very proud of him - about his knowledge, even about politics, and giving advice to his father. He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation.

"Because nowadays, the young generation, they don't sit in front of TV anymore, they're all on their tablets, they're on their phones and all of this these podcasts and streamers.

"He was very vocal and he gave advice to his father and was incredible how he brought in a success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to."

Speaking of the White House, there's reportedly a little-known 'reason' as to why Melania and Donald, who will be the first convicted felon to serve in the presidential role, will sleep in separate rooms in the White House.

American journalist Michael Wolff published a book titled Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House back in 2018 that claimed the couple were the first to sleep in separate rooms at the White House since John and Jackie Kennedy back in the 1960s.

In the book, Wolff simply explained: "She is a loner. He is a loner. They’re perfectly happy to be separated."
