Melania Trump, former First Lady and wife of ex-President Donald Trump, is reportedly distancing herself further from her husband as speculation swirls about a potential return to the White House. Sources close to Melania suggest she is unlikely to resume full-time residence in Washington, D.C., if Donald Trump secures a second term.
During Donald Trump’s presidency, Melania garnered attention for her secluded lifestyle, prompting rumors about whether she lived at the White House or elsewhere. Observers now predict that if the Trumps return to Washington, Melania will split her time between Palm Beach and New York City, where her son Barron is rumored to be pursuing studies at NYU, Axios reported.
“Melania does what Melania wants,” remarked Mary Jordan, a Washington Post associate editor and author who has extensively covered Melania’s tenure. This assertion underscores Melania’s independent approach to the traditionally prominent role of First Lady.
Melania Trump’s absence from recent campaign events and public appearances alongside her husband has raised questions about her future involvement in political affairs. Despite promises from the Trump camp about her increased visibility, Melania remains largely out of the public eye, hinting at future plans with the enigmatic statement, “Stay tuned.”

Kate Andersen Brower, a renowned author on White House history and First Ladies, noted Melania’s perception of the First Lady role as “unelected and unpaid.” This perspective suggests Melania is inclined towards a more ceremonial engagement with the White House, focusing on events like state dinners rather than day-to-day political activities.
