Melania Trump will not move back into the White House if Trump wins.
During Donald Trump’s four years as president, it was widely reported that he had his own bedroom in the White House residence, while his wife, Melania Trump, occupied her own suite.
Now, it seems Trump might have the entire residence to himself if he is elected again this year. Reports indicate that his elusive wife has no plans to move back to Washington, D.C., with him.
Several “Melania-ologists” have told Axios that the former First Lady likely won’t take up full-time residence in the White House. Instead, she is expected to divide her time between the couple’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where she has lived for the past four years, and New York City, home to Trump Tower and New York University. There are rumors that her son, Barron Trump, might be attending NYU.
