A look inside the daily routine of first lady Melania Trump, who eats 7 pieces of fruit a day, is a 'full-time mom', and is finally stepping into the spotlight as first lady
While her husband has sought out a very public life, first lady Melania Trump has chosen to remain fairly private.
She spends a lot of her time caring for their 12-year-old son Barron, calling herself a "full-time mom." Since moving to the White House last June, Trump has also taken on the many duties required of first ladies, from decorating the residence to planning official events.
Deviating from her usual schedule this week, the first lady had surgery at Walter Reed Hospital on Monday to treat a benign kidney condition.
Here's what Trump's daily routine at the White House is usually like:
Trump rises not long after 5:30 a.m., when her husband wakes up. The couple sleeps in separate bedrooms.
