to hear the inspiring story of her mom who was a factory worker in a former communist country.
She comes, she wants to make it big.
She doesn't have that much money.
She first lives in New York City and she has to share one bedroom, you know, curtain down the middle.
And I said to many people in New York who knew her when she was younger and she had just married Trump, they said that she just wanted to act like she was always like this, always rich.
Can we think about the usual role of First Lady?
How does she depart from that other than the obvious ways?
Like how, you know, even going back to her first term, how has she been different in that role?
Well, there was this expectation that because the public elected you and you're in the White House that the public pays for and you have Secret Service and you have Air Force One, all that on the government dime, that you tell people where you are.
She said, well, I don't have to do that.
So she has redefined the role, and she says, and she told me, you know, I'm not the elected one, and she can do whatever she wants.
And so if she doesn't feel like it, she doesn't go.
