Melania Trump, Fallen First Lady: where will she live now?
After living in the White House for more than three and a half years, Melania Trump will have to pack her bags on the day of the inauguration of Joe Biden, the president-elect. She could move to Mar-a-Lago.
On January 20, 2021, Melania and Donald Trump will have no choice but to pack up the White House. They will have to make way for Joe Biden, elected 46th President of the United States this Saturday, November 7, and his wife Jill. But where will they leave their suitcases? Will 14-year-old Barron's parents settle down together again? According to a former relative of the couple, interviewed by the Daily Mail, the former model "counts the minutes that her husband has left before leaving the White House, so that he can finally get a divorce." It is therefore without the real estate mogul that the First Lady will move into a new home. Very attached to their luxurious triplex in Trump Tower, New York, but also to their property in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, she could choose one of these properties.
In an interview with USA Today, Ohio University history professor Katherine Jellison envisioned the future of the outgoing First Lady of the United States. "I guess Mrs. Trump will go back to Florida - or maybe she can convince her husband to come back to New York as her official residence - and continue the kind of life she led before the White House", a- she declared. In January 2017, Melania Trump was delaying her move to the White House. While Donald Trump had invested it alone, the First Lady preferred to stay in their penthouse, at the top of the Trump Tower. For five months, the ex-model enjoyed this flashy penthouse, alone with her son. It was only in June, after Barron's school year, that she decided to take over the presidential office. According to Mary Jordan, the biographer of The Art of Her Deal, she had the planned “financial arrangement” modified in the event of divorce, so that Baron obtained the same shares in the empire of the Trump Organization as his half-brothers and older half-sister, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric. In this new contract, has she also planned to live, once again, in this triplex? According to our colleagues at CNN, she would have a preference for their residence in Mar-a-Lago.
Away from it all
In recent years, Melania Trump has never missed an opportunity to fly to Florida. “She travels there with her son on vacation, as has always been the family tradition,” said spokesperson Stephanie Grisham. Author of Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power, Laurence Leamer, also confirmed this to CNN. According to her, the main interested party “stays for most of the time” without her husband. “The First Ladies go to Worth Avenue shopping, they dress up and they pay these exorbitant prices for clothes and things, and that's part of the scene. That's what they do here, that's life. But not Melania Trump ”, explained the journalist. The Slovak ex-model prefers privacy, away from the presidency and business.
