Donald Trump Shares What He and Melania Did on Their First Night in the White House

Speaking at a private fundraiser for one of his new business ventures earlier this year, Donald Trump shared details about the evening he and Melania first walked through the White House residence as its newest occupants.

“To me, there’s nothing like the White House,” he told the crowd. “After I won, the first night, I went up and I’m standing in the residential hallway with Melania, looking into the Lincoln Bedroom. I said, ‘Do you believe this? We’re in the White House — and that’s the Lincoln Bedroom!’”

He paused, letting the moment sink in for his audience before adding, “It was surreal. You never really get used to it. Even now, I don’t think I ever did completely. It’s a special place — you feel the history everywhere.”

For a man long accustomed to skyscrapers and luxury penthouses, Trump’s description of that night offered a glimpse of reverence for the home that has hosted every president since John Adams.
