Melania Trump is primarily spending her time away from the White House, dividing her residence between Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York, and Mar-a- Lago in Florida. Since her husband Donald Trump's second term began, she has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House, choosing instead to lie low in these other locations where she can avoid the public eye
. She also occasionally makes public appearances in Washington, D.C., such as for ceremonies or special events, but generally maintains a low profile and does not reside full-time in the White House
. Her choice to split time between these places aligns with her stated priorities of being a mother, wife, and first lady while managing her family life and public role on her own terms
. This arrangement has sparked curiosity and speculation about her absence from the White House, but it appears to be a deliberate lifestyle choice rather than due to any official or personal crisis
. In summary, Melania Trump is mostly based in New York City and Florida, with occasional visits to Washington, D.C., rather than living primarily at the White House during her husband's presidency
