While Melania Trump looked happy at Donald's inauguration, sources say she isn't comfortable with the move to Washington, D.C. She and son Barron are even living in New York for a few months instead of heading to the White House.
As the new President prepares to move to the White House, his wife and youngest son Barron are staying behind in New York City. .
Sources previously told TMZ that Melania doesn't want to uproot Barron in the middle of the school year. And Page Six said that she is "really devoted" to her son, raising him herself instead of hiring nannies.
So she will commute to and from the White House until at least June. And even when summer rolls around, Melania won't be in any rush to move to D.C.
Unlike Michelle Obama, Melania Trump won't move right into the White House "Melania wants to stay in New York while her son goes to school," a source told People. "I don’t know if she will ever live away from New York full time, especially with her son in school there. She loves her home in Manhattan and her independent life."
But it also seems that Melania isn't as comfortable in the political spotlight. After all, she's a foreigner who came from a modeling background. And when she married Donald Trump, she didn't think he'd be running for President.
"She doesn't do very well with these kinds of things," said magazine writer Julia Ioffe, who wrote a GQ profile of Melania last year. "She didn't sign up to be a political wife. She wasn't in favor of Donald Trump running for president. She got behind him because she's the supportive wife, but she was trying to make him think twice, three times, four times before he did it. She wanted to be comfortable, wealthy and out of the spotlight."
In fact, many noted that it was Donald's daughter Ivanka who made most of the appearances during his campaign. Some even referred to Ivanka as Donald's "surrogate spouse" and speculated that she would take on more of the First Lady role.
Donald Trump's campaign may have also caused some tension with his wife. Melania wasn't thrilled to hear Donald's comments on the Access Hollywood tape. While that doesn't mean they are having issues in their relationship, it's another hurdle for them to overcome.

I wouldn’t want to take my child to the swamp either.
The District of Corruption is aptly named.
One of the happier moments of my life was when I moved out of the DC area.
Article also says she didn't want President Trump to run. More BS...
Melania.....Be yourself!! You're lovely and intelligent.
As far as Barron...Melania gets up and makes him breakfast every day...takes him to school....picks him up for lunch...takes him back to school. She's one darn good mother. No nannies...Occasional babysitters....just like you and me.
Why move to Green Acres when you just enjoy a pent house view?
Oh boy, the “Hollywood Take” must have the scoop. LOL
What claptrap, speculation and innuendo!
Melania is clearly staying in New York to finish Barron’s school year....just as the Obamas are staying in DC to finish Malia’s schooling
Melania is a strong woman who will do right by her husband and son.
Look at the source.....Hollywood claptrap
You’re wrong. I would have been thrilled if Moochelle hadn’t moved into the White House. She, the kids and her mother, could have all stayed in Chicago and left the citizens alone. It wouldn’t have been perfect, but we wouldn’t have had to deal with her and her extravagant lifestyle.......in our faces.
Bess Truman was probably the most retiring First Lady of all time. Big deal.
The First Lady is a private citizen. I hope Melania devotes herself to her husband and son. She has no obligations to the rest of us.
Look at Barron’s cars....A couple limos and a jag??
Fake news.
Maybe. What do you want from me? Like I said, I still can’t figure out my echo dot!
I agree, this is a nasty hit piece! Full of innuendo and no proof.
get ready for 8 years of MSM hit pieces SNL ‘Alec Baldwined’ Kellyanne last night... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb9ybImGwkU
I “lived” there 30+ years. It is a good place to make $$$...your tax dollars at work. It is great to be out of there and back to normal life.
Julia Ihoffe is evil. I would quote the tweet she posted—then deleted—about DJT and Ivanka but it’s too disgusting.
That looks like a pic I would expect from a Russian oligarch. It’s pretty funny
Man...she makes a robe look hawt.
(funny...she’s in her robe, Donald in his suit.)
Someone I trust in the political game told me Mike Pence would be President within a year.
I don’t regard reacting to media games about crowd size as a good sign.
He seems to like all sorts of vehicles. I think the biggest smile we saw from him on Friday was when the Tractor Brigade rolled by.
