Why Melania may opt not to live with Donald Trump in White House if he's elected president again
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Reports suggest that former First Lady Melania Trump may choose not to return to the White House even if Donald Trump is re-elected as president.
Experts familiar with her views have expressed doubts about her residing full-time in Washington, DC, again, as reported by Axios.
Melania Trump has expressed her dislike for being in Washington
It is more likely that Melania would travel between the family's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City, attending the White House only for state dinners and official functions.
Additionally, the Daily Beast reported that their son, Barron Trump, has New York University as his preferred college choice for the upcoming fall.
Kate Anderson Brower, a multi-book author on first ladies and the White House, told Axios on Monday, June 24, that Melania "clearly hated being in Washington" and "she's distancing herself even more from her husband and from the Washington social political scene."
Melania Trump "stands out in history from any other first lady," according to Mary Jordan, a Washington Post associate editor and author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump. "Her view is unelected, not paid."
"Melania does what Melania wants," stated Jordan, as reported by Metro.
According to Kate Bennett, author of 'Free, Melania: The Unauthorized Biography', her aversion to living in the US capital was evident in the transformation of her fashion over the four years of her husband's term in office.
Melania Trump is set to resume her Be Best campaign
Initially, Melania chose feminine and flowing outfits, but towards the end of the term, she transitioned to attire with sharp shoulders, which was described as "almost like armor" by a CNN White House correspondent.
Although she may not reside permanently at the White House, it is probable that Melania will reinitiate her Be Best campaign, which is dedicated to aiding children.
It is anticipated that Melania will hire staff members who are "more qualified" and "better" for her team in preparation for the Trumps' potential second term.
"Now having seen how this works, she would just be wiser and she would be more vocal and more demanding about what the first lady’s office should get," Jordan said.
A spokesperson for Melania has not issued a comment on the report. With the November election less than five months away, Melania has yet to accompany her husband on the campaign trail.
She was absent from the Manhattan criminal court during his significant hush money trial and was observed departing Trump Tower with Barron and "piles of luggage" following his conviction, Metro reported.
In March, when a reporter inquired whether she would participate in her husband's campaign, Melania responded with a succinct, "Stay tuned."
Reports on Melania Trump's return to the White House divides the Internet
As soon as the news went viral on MSN, readers started reacting to it.
One said, "She wasn't there the first time so not sure anyone thinks it would be different."
Another user added, "Why wasn't she standing by her man in his hour of need, when he was being convicted of 34 felonies? Some family values."
An individual wrote, "She hopes he wins so she doesn't have to live with him, but he's going to suffer an embarrassing loss in the election and she will have to live with him at Mar-a-Lago, until he goes to prison."
"No one cares about this diva. These two pretty much do not live together as it is so why should anyone care if the worst First Lady in our history does or does not return to The White House," a person said.
He further added, "Oh yes, then we might be able to further destroy the Rose Garden and have those Grinch Christmas decorations put back up. She married The Orange One for the money and fame and the pre nup, so let her live with her decisions. She is nothong more than an Eastern European Catalog Bride."
On the other hand, few people supported the former First Lady. Someone wrote, "No worries, Melania. We've got your back. BLUE WAVE 2024"
"I don't blame her. I wouldn't live with him for all the money he doesn't have," said another.
