Overview

  • President Trump treated Melania Trump to a romantic birthday dinner aboard Air Force One due to his packed schedule and inability to buy a gift.
  • The couple traveled to Rome for Pope Francis's funeral but returned to the U.S. immediately after the service, skipping any time in the city.
  • Melania Trump, dressed in mourning attire during the funeral, changed into a more casual outfit for the flight home.
  • Upon landing at Newark Airport, Melania departed in an SUV, likely heading to New York, while Trump boarded Marine One for his Bedminster golf club.
  • This separate post-flight routine reflects the couple's ongoing balance of personal and professional lives, as Melania primarily resides in New York where their son Barron attends university.
