Melania's real home revealed by Trump biographer as she distances from president
Author Michael Wolfe has concluded that first lady Melania Trump isn't living in Florida or Washington, D.C., but is instead pursuing personal business opportunities away from her husband.
The writer told The Daily Beast's "Inside Trump's Head" podcast that the 55-year-old's relationship with President Donald Trump is “remote at best," and he has discovered, while trying to serve her with a lawsuit, that she most likely lives in New York City.
"Where does she live?” asked Wolff, who is suing Melania Trump over her threat of legal action to stop reporting on her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. “They are either going to have to prove that they live in Florida or accept the fact that she lives in New York.”
Melania Trump has avoided being served with a copy of the lawsuit and has sought to move the case to federal court, and he believes that she's building her brand in her husband's hometown.
"A residence is a place where you actually live, where you spend your time, where your connections are, where you have built a life, where your heart is," Wolff said, "and in fact, she has said over and over again — and does in Melania, the movie — that New York is where her heart is.”
While she and the president apparently no longer live together, Wolff said she still leverages his position to boost her business.
“One of the things that we’ve also been looking at is that she is basically starting a new business life in New York City, and it is a way to exploit her relationship with the president of the United States while actually distancing herself from the president of the United States,” Wolff said. “So, building a kind of ‘Melania brand’ company — I suppose that’s what it is — is a way for her to gain financial independence and also geographic independence from the president of the United States.”
She's had her own apartment in Trump Tower for several years, according to the author, and he said the building's concierge confirmed last week she lived there but refused to accept service of the papers.
“The two apartments look completely dissimilar,” Wolff said. “His is that Rococo Trump and hers is kind of sleek, minimalist Melania.”
