Melania Trump revealed Wednesday that her 19-year-old son, Barron,<\/a> is having a very different first son experience this time around compared to her husband\u2019s first term in office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very different,\u201d the first lady said during an appearance on \u201cThe Five\u201d on Fox News.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Melania said President Trump had no input in the making of her self-titled documentary, but \u201cloved\u201d how it came out. Fox News<\/p>\n

Barron<\/a> was only 14-years-old when his father, President Trump, left office in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now a sophomore at New York University\u2019s Stern School of Business<\/a>, Barron has shown more interest in White House affairs, his mother explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe understands now. He\u2019s involved. He knows what\u2019s going on in the world,\u201d Melania said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe talks with his dad. He talks with me. He was very involved in the campaign,\u201d she continued. \u201cHe gave him all of the ideas who he needs to talk to \u2014 all of these YouTubers and, you know, podcasts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo he was really a smart mind behind it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Melania, who is promoting the upcoming premiere of her self-titled documentary<\/a>, was also asked about her husband\u2019s infamous dance moves<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI like it at certain times,\u201d she said of President Trump\u2019s signature \u201cYMCA\u201d dance. \u201cSome days [it] was not appropriate, and I told him so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s his dance, and I think people love it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barron Trump \u201cunderstands\u201d what\u2019s going on in the White House and the world much more now than he did during President Trump\u2019s first term in office, Melania explained. AP<\/p>\n

Asked if she has ever tried to shimmy like her husband, Melania responded, \u201cI have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s different than his,\u201d she said of the way she likes to dance to the iconic song by the Village People.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President Trump has previously quipped that his wife finds his dancing \u201cnot presidential.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n

The first lady\u2019s film, \u201cMelania,\u201d will premiere Thursday night at the Trump-Kennedy Center in Washington.\u00a0<\/p>\n
