(Trump was the first president to not wait for his wife to join him before the inaugural greeting, according to The Daily Mail.)
And this viral clip doesn't look good,

Nor does this one from a recent rally.

And it's common knowledge that Melania has chosen to stay at New York's Trump Tower (on taxpayers' dimes) during her husband's term, rather than live 200 miles away in the White House with the rest of

This week, Us Weekly is reporting that the couple of about 12 years doesn't even sleep in the same place when they happen to be in the same city.
"They have separate

"Melania wants as little to do with Donald as possible,” the source explained. "She is not interested in Donald, the presidency
