Former first lady Melania Trump definitely needed a spa day after Donald Trump's stint
as president — or a few. The mother of one and stepmother of four has already
left her life in Washington D.C. in the past and shows no signs of looking back.
"You will be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all."
One source told CNN that she's pretty much checked out of Hotel White House
and seems pretty comfortable at her luxurious Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
However, Melania's lack of interest isn't too surprising, as she's been notably absent
from the public eye following the violent Capitol insurrection on January 6th, 2021.
In fact, she waited five days to make a statement after that incident,
believing she was in a "lose-lose" situation whether she denounced the violence and went
against her husband or remained complicit. A former White House official told CNN,
"She could see how it was going to go for her. [...] Once [the insurrection] happened, she knew
there was nothing to gain for her by speaking out or doing something — so she didn't do anything."
Since Melania's image became, quote, "collateral damage" in Trump's mission
to spread the false rhetoric that the 2020 election was fraudulent, she's reportedly
been a little "bitter and chilly" towards her husband. However, it looks like Melania
wants to revert back to her pre-presidency days with fewer duties and more luxurious amenities.
Ever since she left the White House, Melania's post-presidency life doesn't sound too shabby.
An insider told CNN about her daily routine at Mar-a-lago, saying,
"She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa (again) and has dinner with
Donald on the patio. Rinse and repeat. Every day."
Although her schedule sounds too good to be true, another source said it's "not
unusual for her to spend several hours a day" enjoying the resort's facilities.
With her name on the building, it's no surprise Melania is taking advantage of
the amenities and benefits. As for her spa services of choice, which she often utilizes
"twice in a 24-hour period," she seems to have an affinity for massages, nail care,
and facial treatments. Another source claimed she prefers to enjoy a fish dinner outside
and is often joined by her parents, who also reside at the resort. Noting that there isn't
much evidence of any White House work ethic at Mar-a-Lago, the source went on to say,
"It's pretty much the same as it was before (she was first lady)
or when she would come down during vacations."
However, she is reportedly in the process of setting
up an office to continue her Be Best campaign.
It sounds like Melania is still doing things her way post-presidency. But is jealousy rearing its
head? Although she seems to be relieved that she's done with her time in Washington D.C.,
Melania is reportedly jealous of how the country has welcomed first lady Dr. Jill Biden.
Since assuming her new position, Biden has attended numerous events or speaking engagements,
and has already graced the cover of several high-profile magazines.
Melania, on the other hand, never did an interview with a national publication
during Donald Trump's four years in office. The outlet also noted that Melania hasn't
spoken to Jill since leaving her a note as Jill assumed the role of first lady.
While Jill's positive media coverage "hasn't gone unnoticed" by the former model,
the stark contrast could be a result of how they both assumed their positions. Jill hit the
ground running following President Joe Biden's inauguration, while Melania waited five months
before joining her husband in 2017, claiming the delay was for their son Barron to finish school.
"I take care of myself and of our son."
However, the Washington Post reported that the holdup was
due to prenup renegotiations with Donald.
Melania's former senior advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff told CNN,
"Melania intentionally didn't do press as a defense mechanism.
She and I would always discuss this reasoning and that's why everything was choreographed
or emailed, or be 'approved' quotes or statements that I would often write."
But interestingly enough, Wolkoff added,
"Donald was more upset about Melania not getting magazine covers than Melania was."
"A Trump is a Trump is a Trump."
