A month from now, Melania Trump will once again stand by her husband’s side during his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States. This marks her second journey into the role of First Lady, and she has hinted this time around may feel quite different.

Rumors surrounding the marriage of Donald and Melania Trump have been swirling for a while now. In fact, last year, Melania made headlines by renegotiating her prenuptial agreement, purely as a precautionary measure. Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency campaign, Melania was notably absent until the final weeks. Her demeanor at Donald Trump’s victory announcement led a body language expert to suggest she seemed less than enthusiastic.

Recently, as the couple visited the New York Stock Exchange for the iconic bell-ringing ceremony, observers noted something odd about Melania: a peculiar ‘hole’ at the back of her head.

With the second term on the horizon, there have been whispers that Melania is not particularly thrilled to return to the White House. Nonetheless, towards the end of the campaign, she voiced her support for her husband.

This second tenure is expected to differ for various reasons, not only because of Melania’s role. Their son, Barron Trump, has embarked on his college journey at Stern Business School at New York University, living at Trump Tower rather than in Washington. This scenario implies that Melania’s time as First Lady might not mirror her previous stint. According to People Magazine, it seems ‘unlikely’ that she will live full-time at the White House.

A source with connections to the Trump family noted, “Should Melania become the first lady again, there will be expectations for her relocation to the White House to fulfill her duties. However, she seems to prefer not to move permanently to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

The source elaborated, “She will have her private space at the White House but will retain her residences in New York and at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. She plans to divide her time across these places.”

Donald Trump Provides Insight on Melania’s Plans

Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, mentioned to ABC, “She’s said to others, ‘I wasn’t elected.’ Consequently, if she chooses solitude at Mar-a-Lago for weeks at a time, she will. Nonetheless, she will be present at the White House for ceremonial duties.”

Kate Bennett, formerly with CNN and author of Free, Melania, agreed, noting that Melania is likely to split her time between the White House, Mar-a-Lago, and New York, while maintaining support for Barron.

“Melania can determine her involvement level in the East Wing affairs,” Bennett noted.

The question of whether Melania Trump will take up residence at the White House full-time has sparked much debate. Recently, Time Magazine named Donald Trump as their Person of the Year. In a ‘victory interview’ with Time, Trump reassured everyone that Melania had been “very active” as the presidential campaign concluded and would accompany him to the White House.

Donald Trump revealed, “Oh, absolutely. Towards the campaign’s end, she contributed significantly, as evidenced by her interviews. People are truly drawn to her. She has a tremendous amount of public admiration,” he went on.

“Our supporters cherish the fact that she doesn’t seek the spotlight incessantly. During speeches, signs adoring our First Lady are common. She knows when her role is crucial.”

Melania’s Return to Public View at the NYSE

The relationship between Donald and Melania Trump has been a talking point since the late 1990s. Melania’s notable absence during most of the presidential race sparked speculation. On the night of the election victory, analysts dissected her body language, suggesting her reactions were not as jubilant as expected.

“When Trump calls Melania for an embrace, her response is somewhat reserved,” observed body language expert Stanton for the Mirror. “There’s a distinct lack of emotion in their interaction. Her smile doesn’t convey sincerity; it comes across as perfunctory, meant for the occasion.”

Darren Stanton further explained: “Considering the election win, one might anticipate more visible joy. Her expressions seem forced, lacking genuine delight. There’s a persistent lack of ease about Melania.”

Despite all the scrutiny on that election night, Melania regarded her husband’s victory
