Donald Trump says his wife, Melania, and their son, Barron, will move to the White House “right after he finishes school” next year.
An aide to the president-elect had suggested earlier that the Trumps are reluctant to move their 10-year-old son from New York to Washington during the school year.
Trump will be inaugurated as the nation’s 45th president on Jan. 20. Most American schools finish the school year in the late spring or early summer.
Trump made the remark Sunday at his golf course in New Jersey as he was escorting Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach from a meeting. It was only one of a string of sessions Trump has been having with prospects for posts in his administration.

Melania has class. She’s a smart and devoted mother who wouldn’t disrupt her son’s education for these 4 or 8 years her husband is out in the WH.
Arye he won’t miss out education in the White House but one thing for sure he will miss his dad and a family life.
No different than the inverse:- Obama renting an apartment in Washington DC @$22,000/month, until his daughter, Sasha, has completed her schooling, before returning to Chicago.
When they picked the date, they assumed it would be rare to have a president with children that young (not to mention that many upper class children were tutored). It helped that Washington, whom everyone assumed would be president, was childless (a major factor, since it assured everyone he wouldn’t try to pass the job to his kid).
