During President Trump's second term, Melania Trump has spent less than 14 days at the White House, demonstrating a significantly reduced role compared to traditional First Ladies. Consequently, President Trump has taken on tasks typically associated with the First Lady, such as White House decor and hosting events. Prior to the inauguration, Melania expressed her plan to balance her time between Washington, New York, and Florida. Although she remains disengaged, tensions arose over decor decisions, particularly concerning her work on the Rose Garden, which she sought to preserve.
"Melania Trump has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House out of President Trump's first 108 days in office, which is a generous estimate."
"As a result of her minimal presence, many responsibilities traditionally handled by the First Lady are instead being fulfilled by President Trump himself."
"In an interview prior to the inauguration, Mrs. Trump indicated her intention to divide her time between Washington, New York, and South Florida."
"Despite her absence, Melania has had disagreements with the president regarding White House decorations, particularly regarding her restored Rose Garden."
