Donald and Melania Trump recently attended the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, an event that coincided with the First Lady's birthday. This occurred while President Trump was in his 100th day in office. During the solemn service, lip-reading experts observed interactions between the couple, offering insights into Melania's feelings towards her husband during his second term.
"I hear you." Body language expert Mark Bowden noted that she seemed uneasy, suggesting she had to "support" his "weight."
At the Pope's funeral, Melania showed poise while surrounded by world leaders. Lip reader Jeremy analyzed exchanges, noting a moment where French President Emmanuel Macron whispered to Finland President Alexander Stubb. Melania, observing the leaders, leaned in to whisper advice to Trump, reportedly saying, "Donald, look left." Trump then turned left and spoke to leaders, shaking hands with Stubb and Macron. This exchange highlighted Melania's role in ensuring her husband's statesmanlike demeanor.
Another moment at the funeral underscored Melania's importance in the power dynamic. When it was time for attendees to exchange a Sign of Peace, Trump appeared hesitant until Melania intervened. She reportedly whispered, "You should go and do it." After a repeat, Trump replied, "Oh alright." Body language expert Judi James described Melania's whisper as "rather sweet."
Melania has a large following on Instagram, where she shared a birthday message. Despite these displays, a body language expert previously suggested that Melania may be hiding her true emotions towards Trump. In her book, Melania shared the terrifying events as she watched on TV the attempt on Trump's life in Bedminster, New Jersey, while he was on the campaign trail. She expressed that it was "nothing short of a miracle" that her husband survived the assassination attempt.
