On Sunday, first lady Melania Trump announced that she and son Barron have moved into the White House to live with President Trump. She made the announcement, naturally, on Twitter:
Melania Trump had taken the unusual step of staying in New York City after Trump's inauguration, so Barron, now 11, could finish out the school year. The president's youngest son will start sixth grade at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland next fall. His half-sister, Ivanka Trump, works in the White House. Trump, who turns 71 on Wednesday, spent the weekend at his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and he accompanied his wife and youngest son to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., as did the first lady's parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs. President Trump is said to have been lonely living in the White House residence by himself.
