On November 5, the United States will elect its next President of the Republic. Defeated by Joe Biden in 2021, Donald Trump is back in the race and wants more than anything to reach the White House. But this desire is not necessarily shared by his wife, Melania Trump. According to Page Sixthe former model does not want to be First Lady full-time. “Melania made a deal with her husband that if he wins the presidency, she won’t have to be First Lady 24/7.”a source explains to the American media. But why this decision? While Barron Trump should go to New York University in the fall, Melania Trump plans to spend part of each month, or even each week, in New York, to be with her child.
According to Page Sixthis is the first time Donald Trump’s young son will be living on his own and he is expected to have an extra adjustment to college life if his father becomes president. “Barron has never been completely alone before — and with the added stress of being both a college freshman and potentially the son of a president in a majority Democratic race, (Melania) wants to be close.”adds the source to Page Six. Donald Trump’s wife would also be concerned about her university’s reaction to the omnipresence of the Secret Service around her son. As a very protective mother, she would also refuse “that Barron serve as a Republican delegate to the (Republican National Convention) from Florida”. Offer from the Republican Party that he ultimately refused, revealed a press release from Melania Trump’s office.

Where is Melania Trump?
In addition to not wanting to resume her role as First Lady, Melania Trump also seems absent from her husband’s political campaign. On June 27, during the CNN debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the former model was nowhere to be seen. She was also absent from the 2024 election kickoff in Iowa as well as Donald Trump’s victory party on Super Tuesday last March. Another important event that the former First Lady seems to have missed and which sparked many reactions: the trial of Donald Trump in the bribery affair. The only exceptions: two fundraisers that took place in April and her son Barron’s high school graduation. An “unusual” absence, according to Katherine Jellison, professor of history at Ohio University, for The Independent. Once again, Melania Trump appears reluctant to play the traditional public role of a politician’s wife.
