Barron And Melania Trump Not Moving To White House

She and the kid didn't run for office.
Let her perserve a sense of normality for that kid.

Did you also know that derelicts and whackos hang at the perimeter in perpetuity some making an occasional mad dash to climb the fence.

The spirit that lingers there in Lafayette Park (which goes all the way up to the fence at the WH since Billy Clinton shut down Pennsylvania Ave. there so he could jog to McDonalds) is black.

Not a nice place to be.

Agreed!

The whole district is demon possessed

It affects everything, look at what happened to the

SS

Neither is President Trump moving there. At least not for the first year. It's my belief that President Trump will do the work of the people from there, but not live there.

Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one said, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."

Good for him...

Move your family OUT of the swamp before you drain it!

It will take dedicated man hours to remove all the bugs that Obama and the DNC have installed already in preparation for a Trump presidency. They will literally have to sweep everything and everywhere.

True

Trump will not be on airforce 1

Its 70 years old and too outdated for him

New plane coming for this new President

All this guy needs is that gov sat phone

you can run the entire country with it

They just dont want to tell obummer yet

Most likely correct

It's not really unprecedented!

George Washington lived in NYC (there was no White House). And the nation's first capital was in Philadelphia.

Every president since John Adams has lived in the White House, so it is definitely tradition, which I favor.

But if Melania wants to wait until the school year is finished before moving there, then I don't see what the big deal is. How many days out of the year has Michelle stayed there vs. being on one vacation after another (on the taxpayers' dime)?

I've never thought they had a traditional kind of marriage anyway. I have a feeling there is a lot of 'leeway' on both of their parts. I've never felt like theirs was a warm marriage; I think there is respect and support, but I just don't 'feel' it in any other sense. It's always seemed like more of an arrangement, but it obviously works for them. I also never though they'd be moving to the White House, so this doesn't surprise me.

More than a step down. White house is a dump.

Nothing Trump did was precedented....he is a man that thinks and works outside the box.
Its his right to not move his kid and wife into the Whitehouse.
Leave it be...none of your business or mine.

No problem. FLy AF1 DC to NYC, at 550 to 600 mph, then jump out back door and parachute to Trump Tower roof. He could do it, he's Batman. 15-20 min top. Getting back is a little harder. Maybe launch a balloon from his roof and a C130 could snatch him up by catching the ballon and pulling him onboard. easy peasy.
If he didn't want to stay in the White house, why wouldn't he stay in his new Hotel just down the street. I'm sure they're building a penthouse suite for him.

Would still cost less than one of Obamas "Golfing vacations".

There is no way that a billionaire wants his wife and children living in public housing

Four years. If not sooner. You can tell they didn't really expect to WIN. They don't want the responsibility.

I agree that they don't seem to have a great marriage. Like others have said it's none of my business.

Still it creates drama that he doesn't need right now.

True... The President and the First lady are like surrogate "parents" to the nation-- and this nation now has young people who are rioting, and who have not been parented very well, and many are from broken homes.

The President and first lady should try to do their symbolic duty, and move to the White House. Barron could have plenty of time with his father there--- which is far more important than his school in Manhattan!

My grandmother was an ambassador's wife, and she moved where he was posted, lived in the official residence and entertained at least 2-3 times per week because it was her duty. She did all this despite having only one lung. So it can be done and it is called sacrifice and duty.


There are so many things that are saddening-- such as the protests. I have never seen this level of protest before in America after a free election. Young people are angry and upset, and they need the calming aspect of a strong, unified and happy First family in the White House.


Residing in the White House is a matter of the deep symbolism of American family strength, and it is very important for our nation's unity and peace, plus it is tradition--- the First Family has always resided there-- it is the most prestigious address in the United States, and spurning it will cheapen the WH for future presidents..


Better to get Barron off to a good start in DC as soon as possible, rather than putting it off. There are several very fine private schools in DC. The family can always go home to NY on Friday, and commute back to DC on Monday morning.

Besides, watching his father in action at the White House will be a great education for him. There are many elegant antiques and much history in the WH--- antiques and paintings are much nicer than some of the nouveau riche items in Trump tower, I am reluctant to say.

The Trump family is beautiful, but their taste is on the nouveau riche, gilded side.

Anyway I voted for Trump so I am not just dumping on him. I come from a diplomatic family of public service, and know that a certain amount of ceremony, symbolism and sacrifice is de rigueur for the job.

Of course the decision is up to them.

When the mice is away, the cat will play.

People like you are the ones creating the drama.
This is a BIG non issue.

The place smells of fried chitlins and Jerry Curl. I wouldn't want to live there either.

Well, I think for them it is great. It's not something I would want, but it clearly works for them.

If there's one thing I've learned, drama doesn't seem to affect him. I think what he most needs to be careful with is inviting his kids and Jared Kushner to all of his meetings. He's not home free yet. It's best not to push his luck because the 'conflict of interest' thing could bite him in the ass.

I'm okay with this. I hear that its just not to have to uproot him for the school year. Having been a child that happened to a lot, this makes me even more respectful of them. They are not just trying to better themselves they truly do care about their children. My own parents only cared about bettering their careers so they moved us all over when we were growing up...I went to at least a half a dozen schools growing up and I will tell you it has a horrible effect on a child.

I feel their marriage is warm. I have read the story as to how they met and how their relationship started, they are very much in love, in my opinion. I think it's things like this that start negative rumors. Mr. Trump adores his wife and Mrs. Trump adores her husband.

My own husband has a job where he travels a lot! In fact, he is on a business trip right now, but that hasn't made our family any less close. Quite the contrary, actually. It's a very unique closeness that we share and I am sure that Mr. and Mrs. Trump have something similar. Believe it or not, his numerous travels have brought us much closer because we do have to live without one another many times throughout the year. Its almost like you get to rediscover what makes you love them in the first place and it is amazing! It has made our marriage stronger.

See, we also are not big on publicly displaying our affection, we believe there is a time and a place. We probably appear from the outside that our marriage isn't very warm.

Works for us though...we are celebrating 19 years together on the 27th.

The whitehouse is an old, old place.
There are rats there big as peekapoos. The stank from the previous occupants will take time to dissipate.

Trump will be there for official functions, other than that, who cares?

You ever been to DC?
You don't think a land based Capital away from the coast and centralized is a good idea? Probably my military brain. You know they close bases and stuff all the time? Denver might still have too severe climate. High Plains Texas might be a better idea.

As far as Melania, Military members go "Bachelor Quarters" all the time, to give their families a break from moving or to allow a child to finish HS in the same place etc.

I guess change is super scary?

Who would want to live in a place that has been stunk up for the last 8 years with the typical nagger smell and littered with rib and chicken bones, watermelon rinds, and menthol cigarette butts?

I don't blame her for not wanting to live there.
