Melania Trump has been First Lady of the United States for a week but has only sent out one tweet - and follows just three people.

The wife of US President Donald Trump took over the FLOTUS Twitter handle from Michelle Obama after her husband was sworn in last Friday.

But whereas The Donald has been firing out tweets almost non-stop since he became leader of the free world, Melania appears to be much more reserved.

Posting an image of Trump swearing on two bibles as he is sworn in, the Slovenia born former model added: "I am deeply honored to serve this wonderful country as First Lady!"

In the photo, Melania is seen holding the bibles and gazing at her husband.

The tweet received thousands of retweets and likes, with supporters and opponents wading in to give Melania their thoughts.

One user, Shawgerald, posted: "America loves you Melania!" to which another, called GTarnutzer, responded: "UMMMMM SPEAK FOR YOURSELF NOT AMERICA WHICH INCLUDES ME, and I say....oh hell NO!!!"

And it is not just the single tweet that is interesting people.

Under the new First Lady, the Twitter account is also following just three other accounts - none of which are the White House.

Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen Pence and Donald Trump's presidential POTUS account are the only Twitter handles followed by the account.

Michelle Obama was the first First Lady to join Twitter in her official role and did so on January 17, 2013.

At the time of her leaving the position, Obama was following 27 other accounts - the White House among them - and had sent out some 4,000 tweets.

Although she is now the new First Lady, some have expressed concern for Melania after it appeared her husband snubbed her at his inauguration.

It seemed she had not forgotten this however as by far the most shared clip from the inauguration was the moment Melania was filmed standing behind her husband as he prepared to swear his oath.

Trump turns around to look behind him and Melania immediately plasters a huge smile across her face.

But when the new President turns his back on her again, the smile instantly vanishes and is replaced by a frown which had all of social media worried.

The hashtags #SaveMelania and #FreeMelania began trending instantly.
