Melania and Barron already live with Trump
NYPD can save more than $ 127,000 a day on security
The first lady calms her husband but she also firmly defends her agenda and image
Some see it as a matter of economic justice: that the public coffers stop spending the more than $ 127,000 a day that it cost to maintain security at the Trump Tower in New York. Others, like the hope (utopia?) That Donald Trump is calmer and more stabilized. The point is that the first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has finally decided the time has come to settle in the White House and since Sunday the president already lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with his third wife and Barron, the son 11 years of both.
Although the move had been anticipated for Wednesday, the 71st birthday of the US president, it was made official on Sunday. After spending the weekend at Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, the first family arrived in Washington in the presidential helicopter, where the parents of the 47-year-old former Slovenian model, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, also traveled. who have been living with their daughter and grandson in Trump Tower and have accompanied them on weekends in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Shortly after, the first lady posted on her official Twitter account a photo taken from the Red Room of the presidential residence accompanied by the message: “Looking forward to the memories we will make in our new home! #diademudanza ”. And her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, confirmed that the transfer "is official."
The first lady has waited 143 days to take the step, which she from the first moment said she would postpone until Barron finished the school year at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York. Now school is over, Barron has been enrolled to start sixth grade in the fall at St. Andrews Epischopal School in Potomac, Maryland, a private school near the capital that costs more than $ 40,000 a year, and begins the washingtonian life of the first family. The "first grandparents" in principle are not going to settle in the White House, as Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, did to help take care of Sasha and Malia, but their constant presence in Washington is expected.
Some analysts hope that the new stage will offer some calm to a tumultuous White House so far, from which throughout the first four and a half months of Trump's presidency there has been numerous reports about internal wars and a president often frustrated, who indulges in solo consumption of hours of television and his now famous (or infamous) early risers on Twitter. "His arrival (of Melania) is not going to stop any investigation, but at a time when this particular presidency needs an air of stability, he can contribute to it," Katherine Jellison, a history professor at the University of California, told Politico a few days ago. Ohio specialized in the study of first ladies. "The move helps give the impression that the president is in a strong, stable marriage and that his home life is under control."
