Trumps move in
The US first couple has hardly gotten off to a conventional start. Now, after a period spent apart, it’s in for a very public test: life together in the Petri dish that is Washington.
THE US first couple has hardly gotten off to a conventional start. Now, after a period spent apart, it’s in for a very public test: life together in the Petri dish that is Washington.
President Donald Trump, for instance, all but ignored First Lady Melania as he bounded up the White House steps in January to greet President Barack Obama and wife Michelle on Inauguration Day.
More recently the Slovenian former model appeared to swat away an outreached presidential hand as the couple walked along a red carpet upon arriving in Israel last month.
But now it seems it’s time for the Trumps – separated for months by political triumph and a parenting choice – to come together under one roof.
After staying in New York in Trump Tower since the election so their young son Barron could finish the school year, Melania Trump, 47, and the boy are reportedly moving to Washington this week to take their place in the White House.
The Washington-news web site Politico, quoting people familiar with the family’s plans, reported Melania and 11year-old Barron will move in on June 14, the day Trump turns 71. CNN also said the move will be this week.
