Melania Trump has largely stayed out of the spotlight since Inauguration Day, in contrast to her husband, President Donald Trump. While she joined him on a trip to Los Angeles to meet wildfire victims—earning praise for her interactions—she has otherwise kept a low profile.From the start, Melania signaled a different approach to her role, opting not to live in the White House full-time. Instead,
she divides her time between Washington, New York, and Palm Beach, prioritizing her role as a mother to Barron, who recently began studying at NYU’s Stern Business School.In a Fox News interview, she reaffirmed her commitment to balancing her duties, saying, “I will be in the White House… but my first priority is to be a mom, a first lady, and a wife.” Her absence has been noted at key events, including meetings with world leaders and executive order signings.
