Donald Trump denies rumours his wife Melania will not move back into the White House

Donald Trump was elected the 47th President of the United States at the beginning of November 2024 and, after a turbulent election campaign, was able to prevail against his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris. The Republican is due to be sworn in next January.

Donald Trump, who has always attracted worldwide attention with scandals, is currently busy putting together his future cabinet. While the nominations have provoked criticism from many, some have also questioned whether the future First Lady Melania Trump will also move into the White House with her husband. Until now, there had been rumours that the third wife of the real estate mogul had not particularly enjoyed her last time in the US capital.

In an interview with Time magazine, the future US president has now revealed his wife's plans for his next term in office.

Will Melania Trump move back into the White House?

As per several reports, Donald Trump gave a very clear answer to the question of whether his wife would accompany him to the White House, contrary to all the rumours. He simply said: 'Oh yes'.

As Melania Trump kept a rather low profile for a long time and hardly appeared at her husband's side, especially at the beginning of his election campaign, there was initially speculation that she would not be travelling to Washington. In some cases, self-made missing person posters were even held up at events asking 'Where is Melania?'. Given the speculation, Donald Trump's response was long-awaited.

Donald Trump praises his wife

The Republican also praised Melania Trump's support during his campaign and explained that she is actually very popular with voters precisely because she does not present herself in public at every opportunity. According to The Independent, the president-elect told Time magazine:

She actually became very active towards the end, as you saw with interviews. And she does—she does them well. People really watch. She’s very beloved by the people, Melania. And they like the fact that she’s not out there in your face all the time for many reasons.

Donald Trump was interviewed by Time magazine in connection with his nomination as 'Person of the Year 2024'. He had already been awarded this title in 2016. One of the reasons given for the renewed award was his impressive political comeback this year.
