President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, is not concerned with political commitments or appearances, a source told People in a piece posted on Friday.
“She doesn’t believe she has obligations in the political world," the unnamed “social source” said. "But she does care about children and their well being."
“Anything she may do in this administration will happen if she has the time and interest to pursue it," the source said.

“Politics is not her world,” they added.
Last month, the First Lady described her role on Fox News. "Maybe some people, they see me as just the wife of the president,” she told Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt, "but I’m standing on my own two feet, independent. I have my own thoughts, I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree what my husband is saying or doing, and that’s okay."
“I give him my advice. And sometimes he listens. Sometimes he doesn’t. And that’s okay,” she said.
“Donald does his thing, and she does hers,” the source affirmed. “She tells it like it is when they talk and he listens. Does he do what she says? Not necessarily, but it has happened.”

Melania and Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, recently made headlines because they had previously promoted the work of USAID, which the president is now looking to eliminate.
Melania also told Fox that she would expand her "Be Best" anti-bullying initiative. She is also in the process of shooting a documentary -- Amazon gave her a $40 million deal to create a piece about her life. "I had an idea to make a movie," she told Earhardt.
The source said that while the president cares about how he is perceived, but Melania “couldn't care less how she looks politically.”
That doesn’t always mean she is completely detached. “Just because she is quiet in a crowd doesn’t mean she is aloof, not listening, or necessarily disinterested,” the source said. “Her mind is filled with what she does every day, her own life, and what interests her.”

Melania said in the Fox interview that she would be splitting her time among Washington, D.C., New York, and Palm Beach. "I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife," she said.
