Following the stunning election of Donald Trump, his wife, Melania Trump remained back in New York City after the inauguration. It was one of many unusual things about a Donald Trump administration: a long-distance first lady.
Trump moved into the White House after the Jan. 20 inauguration. Breaking with tradition, Melania Trump and 10-year-old son Barron plan to remain in New York City. At the time, the White House explained that it was related to the couple’s son’s school year.
While the decision sets Melania Trump apart from other first ladies — both Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton took on the move with school-age children in tow — it seems in character. The former model and naturalized U.S. citizen from Slovenia was an elusive figure in the campaign and had no political experience before her husband’s stunningly successful outsider campaign.
According to a new book, however, there appears to be a more dubious reason for her distancing from her husband.
