Melania Trump 'has spent less than two weeks at the White House' [View all]

Melania Trump is claimed to have spent less than two weeks at the White House since her husband was inaugurated.

The first lady, who has been notably absent from Washington during Donald Trump’s second term, has spent fewer than 14 days at the residence since he took office 108 days ago, according to the New York Times.

Mrs Trump, 55, instead spends much of her time in Trump tower in Manhattan or in Florida, out of the prying eyes of the public in Mar-a-Lago.

“We haven’t seen such a low-profile first lady since Bess Truman,” Katherine Jellison, a historian of first ladies told the paper.
