First Lady Melania Trump has made surprisingly few appearances at the White House since her husband’s January inauguration, spending less than 14 days there in his first 108 days in office. While she attended Pope Francis’ funeral and the Easter Egg Roll, her absence from campaign events and court appearances has raised questions. Reports suggest she prefers living at Trump Tower with son Barron, who is attending college, rather than residing in the White House.
President Trump hasn’t been a constant presence either, frequently staying at his Mar-a-Lago and Doral properties. Melania has acknowledged the challenges of White House life but insists she’ll be present when needed. Emphasizing her independence, she stated, “I don’t always agree with my husband,” while prioritizing her roles as mother and first lady. Her low-profile approach contrasts with past first ladies but aligns with her preference for privacy.
