President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania couldn’t be any more different when it comes to their media exposure. While Trump loves being in front of the cameras, his wife is leading more of a low-key life and tends to keep herself out of the spotlight.
These differences are what have sparked plenty of speculations regarding their marriage, with many claiming they have been experiencing troubles due to their lifestyle.
When they moved into the White House during Trump’s first presidential term, rumors were that he and Melania slept in separate bedrooms.
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.”
Reportedly, 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.
Donald Trump himself once revealed what he and Melania did on the first night of their stay at the White House in 2017. During a fundraiser, the president said, “To me, there’s nothing like the White House. After I won, the first night, I went up and I’m standing in the residential hallway with Melania and I’m looking into the Lincoln Bedroom.
“I say, ‘That was a surreal experience.’ I’m saying, ‘Do you believe this? We’re in the White House and that’s the Lincoln bedroom!’” Trump continued.
Trump added, “It takes a while to get [used to it]. I’m still not, probably, used to it. It’s just a special place, what can I say. So we have to take care of it.”
