We're going to see Melania for a long, long time.

If she chooses to, you know, stay out there and do things.

And even though people and she says and everyone says, oh, she's so private.

She actually likes when she's ready and when she's perfectly outfitted, likes to go into the public.

So I don't think she's going to completely disappear when they leave the White House.

Mary Jordan is a reporter and associate editor at The Washington Post.

She's the author of the book The Art of Her Deal, The Untold Story of Melania Trump.

Today's show was produced by Ariana Aspudu and edited by Amina Alsadi, fact-checked by Andrea Lopez Cruzado, and engineered by David Tatasciore and Patrick Boyd.
