Donald Trump apparently doesn't like his eldest son's new girlfriend.
As OK! previously reported, Donald, 78, claimed his wife will be heavily involved in his political career after rumors swirled that she would be splitting her time between Florida, New York and Washington, D.C.
"She was, she was very, she actually became very active towards the end, as you saw with interviews. And she does — she does them well," he told Time magazine. "People really watch. She's very beloved by the people, Melania."
Donald Trump claimed his wife will be very 'active' when he returns to the White House.
"But she's, she's really, they really like her. They really love her," he continued of people being enamored with the former model. "Actually, in many ways, when I make speeches, 'we love our First Lady.' They have signs, 'we love our First Lady.' No, she'll be — she'll be active, when she needs to be, when she needs to be."
According to a source, Melania will take on duties when she feels like it.
"She’ll do the big events. But no ladies’ tea and no — or very few — interviews," the source explained. "She views winning as the main show, and the rest she’ll do as she pleases. She’s really in the driver’s seat as to her duties at the White House. Melania will be a part time first lady — while being a full-time mother and wife."
