Earhardt asked her if she felt a difference in her second term as the first lady. To this Melania emphasized that she felt she was not understood well by the people. She added:
"I feel I was always me the first time as well. I just feel that people didn’t accept me maybe, they didn’t understand me the way they maybe do now. I didn’t have much support."
According to the incoming first lady, the lack of support was the main reason behind the failing initiative during Trump's first term in 2017. The campaign started in May 2018 assisted children to deal with bullying and the opioid epidemic. During the interview, she further gave insights to the host about how she lacked support for the campaign back then.
Melania Trump mentioned,
"I started in the first administration. I didn’t have much support from anyone. I invited all of the streaming platforms to the White House, I had the roundtable, and I didn’t have much support from them."
She continued by stating that the initiative could have been really successful if she got the sufficient backing from multiple streaming platforms. She then concluded by saying that they had a lot of plans in mind for the next four years.

"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."
