MELANIA TRUMP CHANNELS JACKIE KENNEDY ON WHITE HOUSE TOUR



A poised and polished Melania Trump shared just how much she is loving her new life in the nation's capital in her first major interview since her husband was sworn into office back in January.

The First Lady spoke with 'Fox & Friends' host Ainsley Earhardt in a segment that was filmed on Thursday during the annual Congressional picnic, and revealed that she could not be happier just two weeks after moving into the White House with son Barron.

'We are enjoying it very much,' Melania said of her time thus far at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

When asked how her 11-year-old son was handling the move, Melania said: 'He loves it, yes all settled. He loves it here.'



Melania and Barron made the move to Washington DC soon after President Trump's youngest soon finished school for the year in Manhattan.

Barron will be attending St Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland come September

He skipped out on the Congressional picnic Thursday however, which is held each year on the White House lawn.

The President and First Lady were instead joined by staffers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at the soiree, with the couple bringing along their three children Arabella, Theodore and Joseph.



Those two families both made the move down from the Big Apple in the wake of President Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton, and the First Lady said in her interview that she does not miss the place she has called home for the past two decades.

'I'm so busy and we're doing so many great stuff. So it's really special place and I love it here,' said Melania, who was born in Slovenia.

She became a permanent resident of the United States back in 2001, and five years later she was able to obtain her citizenship after marrying President Trump.



Melania, who is only the second first lady to have been born outside the country, also spoke a bit about putting together her first Congressional picnic.

'Tonight, it's a great picnic, Congressional, picnic with all of us getting together,' said Melania.

'It's New York City team. And we have carousel and great stuff outside.'

As always, the First Lady looked picture perfect for her appearance, wearing a $1900 white dress with multicolored stripes by Mary Katzentrou.

The Greek-born designer was also a favorite of Michelle Obama during her years in the East Wing.



Melania went with a more natural beauty look for the interview and wore her hair down, which paired with her classic A-line dress to give her the appearance of Jackie Kennedy.

It was 55 years ago that Jackie gave her first interview in the White House.

For her historic tour back in 1962, Jackie gave the public a look at the newly remodeled White House after spending the first year of her husband's presidency overseeing a $2 million overhaul of the building.

CBS aired the special on Valentine's Day and featured the then-first lady front and center while President John F. Kennedy made only a brief cameo towards the end of the hour-long segment.



Melania's interview with 'Fox & Friends' was far briefer and toned down of course, while only being filmed in the largely nondescript Map Room of the White House.

It was also more Melania who made a cameo in the interview, with a majority of the time being taken up by President Trump as he talked about healthcare, James Comey and what he believes are his biggest accomplishments since taking office.

The First Lady, who was asked just four questions during the 20 minute interview, smiled and nodded along approvingly as her husband spoke.
