Will Melania be living in the White House for Trump's second term? Probably not

Melania Trump will probably not be returning to the White House for the next four years with her husband, multiple sources told CNN this week, but rather will be splitting her time between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City, where Barron is going to college.Melania’s apparent refusal to return to the White House for her second run as Flotus is a stunning break from American tradition. No other first lady in American history has simply opted to live alone in a Manhattan apartment instead of moving back into the East Wing, where she would have a full staff doting on her and the best possible security apparatus

For many observers it is unclear who might be more relieved by that decision: Melania, who famously did not love her life in DC the first time around, or the White House itself, where Trump’s wife once expressed her discontent by filling the halls with blood-red Christmas trees and destroying the historically beloved Rose Garden.

But the decision came as no surprise after her absence from the campaign trail this year, which was so glaring that when she did show up on election day in oversized sunglasses, Melania body double conspiracy theories quickly ran rampant
