Melania Trump’s tenure as First Lady came to its end when Donald Trump lost the 2020 Presidential election. These days, Melania and her husband have moved to Florida, where their son, Barron, has started a new school.
Though it’s been several months since the Trump family left the White House, new information about their time in Washington is continuously being revealed.
Former White House aide Stephanie Grisham has written in a new book that the Secret Service had a very harsh nickname for Melania. Why? Because she always “remained in her tower, never descending.”
Melania Trump and the rest of the Trump family have left Washington D.C for Florida. It’s still rumored that Donald might wade into the Presidential election in 2024, though nothing has been concretely decided yet.
Melania Trump called “Rapunzel” by Secret Service
The First Lady’s office is located in the East Wing and is a part of the Executive Office of the President. However, it turns out that Melania wasn’t really happy with the place.
Grisham claims – as reported by CNN – that she only saw Melania at the office suite “a handful of times” during her four-year tenure at the White House.
“Mrs. Trump was working from home long before the country was,” Grisham said, making reference to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“When warranted, we would have in-person meetings, but those generally took place in the Map Room across from the elevators to the residence. There we would plan out schedules, respond to pressing queries, and discuss goals. Other than that, the first lady kept to her rooms in the residence.”
Instead of being at the First Lady’s office in the East Wing, Melania Trump spent much of her time in the executive resident. Grisham writes that her staff rarely heard from her before 10 a.m most days, and instead, she focused on “self-care” which included many hours of sleep.
“She believed that relaxation was central to one’s beauty regimen, as were, of course, spa treatments and facials.”
The Secret Service even gave her the nickname Rapunzel, because “she remained in her tower, never descending.”
