Melania does not leave Trump Tower. Here is the real reason
Mrs Trump has postponed the move to the White House until next June, when her son Barron has finished the school year. But doesn't she really want to enjoy the luxury of her mega-apartment on Fifth Avenue for a little while?
For now, Melania Trump prefers the comfort of the Trump Tower to the austere White House. The first lady has, in fact, announced that she will not be moving to Pennsylvania Avenue for the time being. The official motivation is to let his son Barron, 10, who attends a private school on Manhattan's Upper West Side, finish the school year and costs dad Donald $ 40,000 a year.
A source told the New York Post that the election campaign was very difficult for the little boy and mom Melania wants the changes to upset him as little as possible.
Trump's spokesperson told the Washington Post that the decision was made not to force the child to change schools mid-year.
In short, at least until June Melania will be able to enjoy her apartment in the Trump Tower with a view of Fifth Avenue and Central Park. A riot of luxury and opulence, entirely designed by the designer Angelo Donghia in the early 1980s, all in Louis XIV style. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, pure gold statues, a fountain, friezes, stuccos and frescoes depicting Greek myths.
After all, when one is well used to it, he needs to prepare himself psychologically and show an excellent spirit of adaptation to give up pompous furnishings with gold finishes in every corner.
In reality, it could have been much worse for Melania and her son, although it is still a matter of moving from a three-story penthouse to the White House, and not just any house. The question is: will you miss the view from above more or the fact that you no longer have Tiffany and Co. and Louis Vuitton as neighbors?
