President-elect Donald Trump secured a historic election victory this week, beating Kamala Harris to return to the White House.
Mr Trump promised to “heal the country” and “make America great again” as he addressed supporters after his win.
He added: “I will fight for you and your family and your future, every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body.”
Mr Trump’s victory also means that his wife Melania Trump will serve again as First Lady.
While Melania appeared delighted by her husband’s side on Wednesday, previous reports suggest that she may have mixed feelings about returning to the White House.
In 2018, a report from New York Magazine cited an excerpt from a book written by Michael Wolff which claimed that Melania was in tears when Mr Trump secured victory in the 2016 election.
He wrote that Donald Jr. said his father “looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears – and not of joy.”
The book sparked an angry response from Melania as she disputed the claims, saying: “This book is clearly going to be sold in the bargain fiction section.
“Mrs Trump supported her husband’s decision to run for president and in fact, encouraged him to do so. She was confident he would win and was very happy when he did.”
The claims came a year after a friend of the Trump family claimed that Melania didn’t want to be First Lady in the first place.
The source alleged she didn’t want the role “come hell or high water.”
They added: “This isn’t something she wanted and it isn’t something he ever thought he’d win.”
After the claims emerged, Mr Trump said Melania “loves what she is doing” as First Lady.
He said: “Melania, our great and very hard-working First Lady, who truly loves what she is doing, always thought that ‘if you run, you will win.’
“She would tell everyone that, ‘no doubt, he will win’.
“I also felt I would win – and Country is doing great!”.
Mary Jordan, author of ‘The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump’, told ABC News that many reports about Melania’s time in the White House are untrue.
He said: “I think there’s a mistaken notion that she really hated being the First Lady. She really did like a lot of it. She loved meeting foreign leaders, it’s just that she wants to do.
“She has told people ‘Look, I’m not the one elected’, so if she wants to go down to Mar-a-Lago and hang out by herself for two weeks, do that.
“But she is going to be in the White House, she loves a lot of the pomp and circumstance.”
