Melania Trump is claimed to have spent less than two weeks at the White House since her husband was inaugurated.
The first lady, who has been notably absent from Washington during Donald Trumps second term, has spent fewer than 14 days at the residence since he took office 108 days ago, according to the New York Times.
Mrs Trump, 55, instead spends much of her time in Trump tower in Manhattan or in Florida, out of the prying eyes of the public in Mar-a-Lago.
We havent seen such a low-profile first lady since Bess Truman, Katherine Jellison, a historian of first ladies told the paper.

They are basically divorced and both are freeloading off the taxpayers.
Gosh, wonder if anybody who voted for this fool and his whole family would have a problem with freeloaders ?????

(5,989 posts)She said she needs to be in NYC so she can look after Barron. You have to know how thrilled Barron was to learn that Mommy intended to live in NYC. Poor kid. Bad enough to have Donald tRump as your father but having Mommy Melania overseeing your first year of college must be a dream come true. 🤣

Melania obviously does not WANT to be First Lady. It's beneath her to live at the White House and assume the duties normally associated with what a First Lady is expected to do. Do we not remember "the fucking Christmas" comment? Therefore, she should not be mentioned in the same sentence as those women who did serve in that capacity. She's not in the same category as any of them no matter how much she tries to dress like some of them!
