Donald Trump may not live in the White House full time: reports

Donald Trump may not live in the White House full-time following discussions with his advisers.

Trump may split his time between the presidential mansion and his luxurious penthouse decorated in 24-karat gold in Trump Tower, according to the New York Times.

The newspaper reported that Trump is a homebody, who often flew several hours late at night so he could wake up in his own bed at Trump Tower.

Now he is discussing with his advisers about how many nights a week he will spend in the White House.

He has told them he would like to do what he is used to, which is spending time in New York when he can, the report said.

It has also been reported that Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s former wife, wants to become ambassador for the Czech Republic.

"[That] is where I’m from and my language and everybody knows me. I’m quite known all around the world. Not only in America," Ms Trump told The New York Post.

"I have written three books, and they were translated in 40 countries in 25 languages. I’m known by the name Ivana. I really did not need the name Trump."

The 67-year-old socialite, who was the mogul's first wife, believes he will certainly not leave Trump Tower.

"I don't think he will ever give up [his apartment at] the Trump Tower," she said.

"To be perfectly honest, I think probably the Trump Tower and my town house in New York is much better than the White House.

"But Donald is very right. He said if a lot of presidents before can live in here, so can [he] ... I don’t think he’s going to do gold leafing in the White House."
