Melania Trump is getting out of her duties if Donald Trump wins in 2024!
According to an insider, the former First Lady, 54 — who was highly active during her husband's first term as President of the United States — had made a pact with the 78-year-old declaring she won't resume a full-time role if he is to have a second term, citing their son Barron as the primary reason.

Melania Trump has been largely absent from husband Donald Trump presidential campaign.
"Melania has made a deal with her husband that if he wins the presidency, she will not have to fulfill first lady duties 24/7," the source shared of the ex-model, who has notably been absent from most of Donald’s campaign stops this year.
The report came amid rumors Barron — who recently graduated high school — would be attending New York University in the fall.

Melania Trump and Donald Trump tied the knot in 2005.
“Barron has never been completely on his own before — and with the added stress of him being both a freshman in college and potentially the son of a president in a predominantly Democratic city, [Melania] wants to be close…,” the insider spilled. “The added attention he’ll get if his father is president worries Melania who is also concerned about the reaction at his school over Barron’s ever-present Secret Service.”

Melania Trump and Donald Trump share son Barron Trump.
As to whether Barron will be heading to NYU, they added, “She [Melania] feels safe in NYC and in Trump Tower herself, and it’s Barron’s home, and that’s why she wants him to go to school in NYC.”
“Donald trusts Melania to bring up their son the same way he trusted Ivana to bring up their children… Donald feels it worked for Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr.,” the source continued.
As OK! previously reported, the news of the deal came after there has been tons of speculation about the state of Melania and Donald’s marriage.
A recent report even claimed that Melania will likely not live with her spouse if he wins the 2024 election.
