Melania Trump has remained largely absent from the White House since Donald Trump began his second term 108 days ago. Sources say she’s only spent around two weeks there—and possibly even less. Her limited presence has raised questions among insiders, who now describe her whereabouts as one of the most sensitive and tightly guarded subjects in Trump’s inner circle.
Melania Trump has kept an extremely low profile during Donald Trump’s second term, drawing comparisons to Bess Truman, who was also known for avoiding the spotlight. Since the inauguration, Melania has reportedly spent most of her time at Trump Tower in New York or in Florida. She’s only made a few public appearances—like a speech on cyberbullying, the White House Easter Egg Roll, and Pope Francis’s funeral. Her extended absences have fueled speculation and made her location a closely guarded topic among insiders.
Shawn McCreesh, reporting from the White House, revealed that Melania Trump’s absence is so pronounced that the First Lady’s quarters often remain dark. While officials insist she’s present more than people realize, no one can confirm when or for how long. McCreesh compared her elusive presence to Greta Garbo, famously private and rarely seen in public, reinforcing the mystery surrounding Melania’s whereabouts.
Melania Trump’s limited public presence continues to stir speculation inside and outside the White House. While officials remain tight-lipped about her exact whereabouts, insiders admit her appearances are among the administration’s most sensitive topics—adding to the mystery. Though she plans to attend a May 8 event honoring Barbara Bush, she will skip her husband’s Middle East tour. Still, longtime friend Paolo Zampolli insists she’s happy in her role as First Lady.
Despite keeping a low profile, Melania and Donald Trump recently showed rare public affection during a visit to Rome in April. The couple, married since 2005, were spotted laughing, holding hands, and even sharing a kiss—signs their relationship remains strong. A source described their bond as a “solid partnership” with lasting synergy after 20 years of marriage.
After a previous frosty moment between Donald and Melania Trump fueled the viral “Free Melania” campaign, insiders pushed back hard. One source called the idea a “liberal fantasy,” arguing it wrongly assumes Melania lacks agency. They labeled the movement “patronizing,” saying it strips her of power and reduces her to a passive figure—when, in fact, she’s a calculated and independent woman who chooses her path.
