While Donald Trump (75) speaks about his political future and has said several times that he will run for election before the next term, there is one significant person who is silent.
His wife Melania Trump (51) has withdrawn from the spotlight since she left Washington and the White House in January. The former first lady has been described as the most private first lady in modern times.
We know, among others, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama, who were both central to the media spotlight during and after their periods as first women.

– Will not return
The president’s wife has only been seen in public once this summer, when she was immortalized outside the Trump Tower in New York, with her son in July. Beyond that, and a few random glimpses from Trump’s Bedminister Golf Club, Melania has not appeared in front of a camera.
Sunday writes CNN that the 51-year-old is deleted has no desire to return to public life. According to sources the channel has spoken to, she has stated to friends that she does not intend to support her husband’s political ambitions.
She is also said to have said she did not want to return to the presidential residence in Washington.
– Being a first lady again is not what she wants. For her, it was a chapter, and it’s over, says a source who had a close relationship with Melania during her time in the White House, to CNN.
– Will not be seen
Last month, Melania returned to Palm Beach, Florida, after a summer stay in New Jersey.
Friends of Melania say she wants to live full-time at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where her son Barron attends a private high school.
Melania thus seems to let go of the life she knew before the period as a first woman, where she lived in Manhattan in New York.
She reportedly sees her husband’s involvement in politics as his job, not hers.

– One will not be seeing her at events, or in campaigns, even though he officially says that he will perform again, says another source close to Melania.
Given that Donald Trump is running for office before the change of president in 2024, it may not come as a surprise to everyone if his wife becomes less present this time.
