The famous 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue residence Donald Trump and wife Melania returned to after Trump won the elections and was sworn in as a president on January 20 has six levels, 132 rooms, including 35 bathrooms, 16 bedrooms, multiple offices, dining rooms, and other spaces.
However, it was said that the couple did not share a bedroom during Trump’s first presidency.
Allegedly, they won’t be sharing one this time either.
According to White House sources, Donald and Melania are “loners” and their relationship is rather “complicated.”
Allegedly, there were days when the two would spend their days at the White House without seeing each other.
Michael Wolff, the author of the book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, wrote: “Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary.
“He retreated to his own bedroom – the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms.”
At the time, President Trump dubbed the book “really boring and untruthful.”
However, it wasn’t just Wolff who had presented the claims of the unusual sleeping arrangements.
In a Washington Post feature from 2018, a source disclosed that then-President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump did not share a bedroom.
First lady scholar Annette Dunlap shared with People that the last time couples occupied separate bedrooms in the White House was Patricia and Richard Nixon. Prior to the 1970s, it wasn’t particularly unusual for couples to have separate sleeping arrangements.
“It was kind of a European thing,” Dunlap said at the time. “The idea of sleeping in the same bed together in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century was a symbol of poverty, because you couldn’t afford your own bed or your own bedroom.”
Biographer Mary Jordan, who interviewed White House staff, claimed that the president and the First Lady slept in separate bedrooms.
“Love is complicated and, as they say, Trump love is really complicated.
“They spend a shocking amount of time physically apart. And yet, the first call he often makes after a speech or a rally is to her. It’s a mystery,” Jordan said.
“She rarely goes into the West Wing, she doesn’t like to golf. She has her own little spa.
Jordan added: “She likes to be isolated. She is a loner. He is a loner. They’re perfectly happy to be separated.”
In her book Free, Melania, CNN correspondent Kate Bennett revealed Donald and Melania’s sleeping arrangements. She wrote that Trump slept in the White House master suite on the second floor, while his wife’s bedroom was on the floor above.
