“I'm in the White House, but when I need to be in New York, I'm in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I'm in Palm Beach,” she said. “But my top priorities are to be a mother, to be first lady, to be a wife. And when I arrive on January 20th, to serve my country.”

First lady Melania Trump said Barron, who is enrolled at New York University's prestigious Stern School of Business, would “visit” the White House as often as he wanted.
