we are back with the fox and friends exclusive former first lady melania trump granting us her first sit-down interview since leaving the white house we met at her new home in mar-a-lago take a look being your first lady was my greatest honor thank you for your love and your support melania trump thank you so much for joining us on fox and friends thank you for having me i think this is your first sit-down interview since being in the white house is that right it is it is my first sit-down yes how is life you know since leaving the white house life is great and keeping it busy and you know time flies fast and we are just everybody's doing very well we're here in beautiful florida what are your real thoughts on washington dc i mean your husband called it a swamp it is time to drain the swamp what do you think of it i like washington dc i know it operates completely different than any other city but i really like it there and i enjoyed living in the white house to be first lady of the united states was my greatest honor i think we achieved a lot in the four years of trump administration i enjoyed taking care of the white house it was my home for a while i understood it it is people's house it was uh it was a privilege to live there and maybe it'll be your home again never say never never say never being out of dc and having that time what do you make of the state of the country right now i think it's sad to see what's going on if you really look deeply into it i think a lot of people are struggling and suffering and what is going on around the world as well so it's very sad to see and i hope it changes fast it's been in the news as someone who loves children and is dedicated so much to their betterment how do you feel when you see shortage of baby formula and families just struggling to get basic items like that it's heartbreaking to see that they are struggling and the food is not available for children in 21st century in united states of america why is it happening leadership leadership or lack thereof yeah i know opioids was part of your best initiative i was watching the news recently record amounts of drugs and yes in fact we did a little research you were the only first lady to go to the border you did it twice yes what's it like to see the things you worked on so hard change so drastically it's very sad to see that it changed so drastically i know that covet brought another struggles to the people who were having problems before but what's going on it's unthinkable a lot of people are dying from drugs and it's it's very sad to see how did you put up with the constant criticism fashion statement this is trump flew to and from the nation's capital wearing a jacket with a stunning phrase on the back declaring quote i really don't care do you the media take um vogue for example five months into joe biden's president joe biden's on the cover kamala harris is on the cover before she's even sworn in hillary clinton was on the cover when she was first lady michelle was on the cover three times yet with your business background and your fashion background and your beauty never on the cover of vogue why the double standard they're biased and they have likes and dislikes and it's so obvious and i think american people and everyone see it it was their decision and i have much more important things to do and i did in the white house than being on the cover of oak seems like anything you do no matter how well intentioned it is the criticism is constant melania trump has an initiative called be best forget the grammatical challenges there we don't know if melania is moving murder for us down to the winter white house the only thing she's been working on is an escape tunnel well people i see always criticize me whatever i do and i'm used to that i move forward and i'm here to helping people and that is the mission and those people who criticize me i would encourage them to help in their own community or maybe join my foster the future initiative what is fostering the future i know that's an initiative of be best why is working with foster kids such a passion of yours i started to work and visiting the foster care facilities when i was in the white house and just last week i visited a place of hope as well and met with the leaders of the foster care community and some parents and children and i met also with the adults who aged out of the foster care system just knowing when they turned 18 they still need help they need our support resources empowerment to to achieve their american dream so you're using a new technology to help raise the profile and fund these initiatives i have been working on my nfd projects i left the white house my nfts they are available on melania trump.com and
