The implicit ASSumption is that her not being in the WH means she is not with DJT. IRL, DJT has probably spent significant to at the Florida White House, , with her being there.
The president and first lady traveled together to attend the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome on April 26, which happened to fall on Melania’s 55th birthday. However, as a practicing Catholic, sources said she was “honored” to celebrate the late religious leader."She respected the pope," a social source told PEOPLE at the time. "It is a sad time for Catholics around the world, and the first lady is honored to go to the funeral."Melania’s absence from Washington, D.C., isn’t a change of pace from Donald's first term, when she spent ample time at Trump Tower in Manhattan so as not to disrupt their son Barron's school schedule.Prior to her husband's second term, Melania was clear about her plans to split time between the White House, their Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, and New York City, as Barron started his freshman year at NYU."I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach,” she said in a Jan. 13 interview on Fox & Friends. “My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife."
