Donald and Melania Trump moved into the White House for the first time in 2017, and their private life quickly became a topic of public fascination. Rumors swirled that the couple did not share a bedroom, a claim repeated in Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury, which suggested they slept in separate rooms — something unheard of since the Kennedys.
Reports also described Donald Trump’s unusual nighttime habits, including watching multiple TVs and eating McDonald’s alone. However, insiders later said the separate bedrooms did not signal an unhappy marriage. According to staff, the Trumps ate dinner together nightly and maintained a positive atmosphere in the residence.
Trump later revealed what made their first night special: standing with Melania in the residential hallway, marveling at the Lincoln Bedroom and the surreal reality of living in the White House — an experience he said still felt extraordinary.
