Empty-nest Melania Trump shares baby photo of son Barron in new book promo

Former first lady Melania Trump shared a baby photo of her college boy son Barron Thursday in a wistful promotional video for her upcoming memoir.

“The challenges and rewards of motherhood, from sleepless nights to joyful milestones, bring immense fulfillment which only a mother understands,” the 54-year-old narrates over the video released eight days after her only child’s first day at New York University.

“The lessons I have learned from these experiences are profound. And they have shaped me in ways I could never have imagined.” Melania Trump holds son Barron in an undated photo Melania Trump/X

The memoir, Melania, is available for preorder for $40, or $75 for a signed copy, with an Oct. 8 release date coming less than a month before her husband, former President Donald Trump, faces Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 election.

Melania has released other promo videos for the book including saying Tuesday there was “more to the story and we need to uncover the truth” about the July 13 assassination attempt on her husband.

On Sunday, she bemoaned the results of the 2020 election, in which the Republican incumbent was narrowly defeated by President Biden.

The 2020 election results changed our lives forever. It impacted our quality of life, cost of food, gasoline, safety, and even the geopolitical landscape,” the Slovenia-born former fashion model said in that clip.

It has become increasingly apparent that there are significant challenges to free speech as demonstrated by efforts to silence my husband.”

In her initial video teaser, Melania said her book would present “the truth” to counter “misrepresentation” –in apparent reference to ex-friends and aides who accused her of begrudgingly decorating the White House for Christmas and of her of indifference during the 2021 Capitol riot.
