As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House after his victory in the US presidential election, he will not be accompanied by his wife, Melania. The latter is expected to live between New York and Florida.
On November 6, Donald Trump was elected to succeed Joe Biden as President of the United States. As he packs his bags to return to the White House, the real estate mogul may well move there alone. First, his youngest child, Barron Trump, has moved to New York for his studies. Unlike his father's first term, the 18-year-old will not move to Washington. According to some sources, Melania Trump also does not plan to move into the White House with her husband, reports CNN.
Indeed, the First Lady would like to break with tradition and live between Florida, where the couple's residence is located, and New York, to see her son as often as possible. "Discussions about how she will spend her time and where she will spend it are ongoing," several sources told CNN. However, Barron Trump's mother should be present at major events. "I'm not worried, because this time, it's different. I have a lot more experience and a lot more knowledge. I was in the White House before. When you go there, you know exactly what to expect," Melania Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
How will Donald Trump redecorate the White House?
While his inauguration will take place in January 2025, Donald Trump is still starting to think about his move to the White House. Among the to-do list, he must rethink the decoration. As he had done during his first term, by removing the modern works of art installed by Barack Obama. The real estate mogul had replaced them with classic oil paintings, reports Time, in May 2017.
In the Oval Office, he had decided to install gold curtains and a huge crystal chandelier in the dining room, all at his own expense. According to Time, one of the changes he preferred was the installation of a huge flat-screen television of more than 150 centimeters, above the fireplace. While Joe Biden had also redesigned the decoration when he arrived in 2022, Donald Trump intends to do the same for his return.
