There’s a sad theory behind why Melania Trump has ‘vanished’ from the White House
Melania Trump’s **limited public appearances** since Donald Trump’s second-term inauguration have sparked widespread speculation. Reports suggest she’s spent **less than 14 days** in the White House this year, preferring residences in **New York and Florida**. Her absence has fueled conspiracy theories, including claims of a **body double** and even marital strife. Journalist **Michael Wolff** alleges the Trumps are **effectively separated**, calling their public image a “bill of goods.”
While the White House insists Melania is present **more often than perceived**, her own statements reveal a **split living arrangement**. In a January interview, she confirmed dividing time between **DC, New York, and Palm Beach**, prioritizing motherhood and her role as First Lady. Despite official explanations, her **near-invisibility** continues to raise eyebrows and dominate gossip columns.
