Maybe? Sometimes? She told Earhardt that she would “be in the White House,” but added, “You know, when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach.”
After participating in inauguration activities during the first week of Trump’s second presidency, Melania disappeared for nearly a month. On February 25, People reported that regular disappearances are just part of who the First Lady is:
A political source tells PEOPLE that her stepping away from the spotlight during her husband’s first few weeks in office “should not come as a surprise because this is how she lives.”
“She will never be a traditional first lady. That isn’t who she is,” the source says, adding that she has “her own ideas on what she wants to do.”
The magazine reported that Melania stayed at the White House and Mar-a-Lago during her weeks out of the public eye, but “she hasn’t spent meaningful time at the White House in an official capacity.”
A Miami political source added, “Melania has been busy shooting her documentary and that has taken place in several locations, including the White House.” So Melania had to take a break from First Lady duties because she was too busy filming a documentary about what it’s like to be First Lady?
