Melania Trump is in Florida for 'spring break'
Melania Trump has made like a 19-year-old in search of a red Solo cup and headed to Florida for her "spring break," her deputy press secretary told NBC News on Monday. The first lady did not join her husband, President Trump, when he returned to Washington, D.C., this weekend from Mar-a-Lago. Instead, Melania is reportedly "quite enjoying" her spring break in Palm Beach, far from the 45-degree weather in the nation's capital (not to mention all the other storms swirling there).
As her spokesperson put it, Melania is "focused on being a mom and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects." Media Matters' Simon Maloy joked: "Inching closer to real-life Bluths territory here."
