Melania Trump’s initial months as First Lady in her and her husband’s second term at the White House have been quite the mystery. As well as stating that she wouldn’t be living full-time at the White House, Melania decided to leave the spotlight for a few weeks while working on her upcoming Amazon documentary.

But even though the First Lady has previously clarified that her second term will be different to how the first looked, many have questioned why she hasn’t been at her husband’s side. On social media, fans have aired their disappointment, with one claiming that it’s ‘getting worse every day.’

That Melania Trump would approach her second term as First Lady in a different manner to the four first years she spent at the White House was perhaps not a big surprise. Even before Donald Trump announced that he was running for office again, it was rumored that his wife wasn’t even interested in ever occupying the First Lady’s office again. Things changed, and now, the former model is back in the East Wing.

When Melania first became First Lady in 2016, many feared she wasn’t up to the challenge. She told Fox that people “didn’t accept” her or “didn’t understand” her the first time, and she subsequently didn’t receive much support.

Maybe some people they see me as just the wife of the president, but I’m standing on my own to fit, independent. I have my own thoughts, I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree what my husband is saying or doing, and that’s okay,” Melania added.

Though Melania was away from Washington—and the spotlight—for quite a while following her husband’s Inauguration, she returned to the White House for the Governors Ball in late February.

Over the last month, she has split her time between the Trump family’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach and the White House. However, a People Magazine source said Melania hasn’t been in the capitol on official First Lady duties.

“[Donald and Melania] both live at Mar-a-Lago and have quarters in the White House,” the source said. “But she leads her own life and joins him when appropriate in either place,” adding that when she is in Palm Beach, she “keeps to herself” but does accompany Donald to dinner “on occasion.”

During her first term at the White House, Melania focused heavily on her Be Bestcampaign, aiming to help children fight bullying. The Slovenian-born former model told Fox in January that she hopes to expand the awareness campaign further in the next few years.

“I didn’t have much support from anyone. I invited all of the streaming platforms to the White House,” Melania stated. “I had the roundtable, and I didn’t have much support from them. And imagine what we could do in those years if they will rally behind me and teach the children and protect them about social media and their mental health.”

It’s said that Donald and Melania had their fair share of arguments when they lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue the first time around. In January, Melania appeared on Fox & Friends to give some insight into her and Donald’s union and what to expect when they entered the White House for a second time.

“Maybe some people they see me as just the wife of the president, but I’m standing on my own to fit, independent. I have my own thoughts, I have my own yes and no. I don’t always agree what my husband is saying or doing, and that’s okay,” Melania added.

New book claims Melania Trump ‘hates’ her husband

It’s hard to say precisely how Donald and Melania are doing, and the speculation is inconclusive to say the least. But now, author Michael Wolff, who has written several critical books about the president, claims in his new book All or Nothing that Melania has no feelings left for her husband.

According to the book, Wolff, who may be considered Donald Trump’s least favorite biographer, claims that Melania has no interest in living day-to-day near her husband.

“She f***ing hates him”, a “Mar-a-Lago patio confidant,” is said to have told Wolff.

Melania has previously stated that she will not live at the White House full-time during her second term as First Lady. Instead, she will split her days between Washington, New York – where she will spend time with her son, Barron – and Palm Beach, Florida, where the Trumps lived at their Mar-a-Lago estate after their first White House exit.
