The film touches on Melania Trump’s feelings about the loss of privacy that comes with her role as first lady, the BBC notes.

Melania Trump says that her job as the first lady is "more structured" and comes with "fewer quiet moments.”

"You have your schedule, the White House schedule, the president's schedule," she said. "You need to be a mother, wife, daughter, friend."

During President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, several media outlets reported that Melania Trump made few public appearances, including attending the Al Smith charity dinner and the Republican National Convention.

In the days before the election, sources close to the Trumps told People that the first lady may spend more time in New York than at the White House. Another source speculated that the first lady “will do everything expected” during her husband’s second presidential term.

One week before the election, Melania Trump appeared on "Fox & Friends," saying, “I’m not anxious because this time is different. I have much more experience, much more knowledge.”

“I was in the White House before, so when you go in, you know exactly what to expect,” she added.
