Melania Trump Gets Brutally Honest About Shrinking Family Time: ‘Less & Less’

Melania Trump said busy schedules and the president’s late nights have reduced family time, adding that Barron may welcome more independence.

  • On Wednesday, September 23, First Lady Melania Trump appeared on Fox Business' 'The Big Money Show,' discussing her family's busy schedules and her changing relationship with her 20-year-old son, Barron Trump.
  • Melania's remarks mark a shift from January, when she told Fox Business that a child Barron's age required constant parental presence; she now suggests her son may appreciate having more independence as he settles into adulthood.
  • When asked by co-host Taylor Riggs about balancing family life, the 56-year-old explained that President Donald Trump works until 9:30 at night, adding 'it's less and less the family time; it's suffering because of it.'
  • Critics, including Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson and commentator JoJo from Jerz, mocked the comments online, though some users expressed sympathy for the First Lady's situation.
  • The interview coincided with the launch of her new executive network, Imperia, and followed her recent appearance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where she and President Donald Trump were seen together.
