Her bright smile and her hand firmly squeezing her husband’s after the latter’s electoral triumph surprised the American press. Has Melania Trump come out of her shell and ready to take on her role as first lady with more enthusiasm than during her husband’s first term? It seems that the blow has already subsided and that the ex-model has regained the distant, even cold attitude, which had caused so much ink to flow between 2016 and 2020.
The “Daily Mail” reports that Melania Trump will not accompany the president-elect to the White House on Wednesday. However, the future first lady received a formal invitation from the Biden couple. Traditionally, when the outgoing president welcomes his successor in the Oval Office, the two wives meet during this time to drink tea in the presidential residence. This is what Michelle Obama did in 2016, when she received Melania Trump in the Yellow Room, after the Republican’s surprise victory.
Donald Trump’s wife had already snubbed Jill Biden in 2020, when the billionaire loudly denounced a rigged election and refused to admit his defeat. While Joe Biden and Donald Trump had a “cordial” telephone exchange the day after the Republican’s victory, the two first ladies have not yet had the slightest contact and Melania Trump does not seem determined to break the ice. “Mrs Trump will not go, and they have not spoken,” a source confirmed to the British daily.
It is rumored in Washington that Melania Trump, who was not involved in her husband’s campaign, intends to be a part-time First Lady. She may not even move into the White House. The 54-year-old ex-model currently resides in New York, where his son Barron is studying at university. During her husband’s first term, Melania postponed her move to Washington, to let her child finish his school year in the Big Apple.
