A body language expert suggests Melania Trump’s gestures indicated she didn’t want to attend Donald Trump’s victory speech.
A body language expert recently analyzed Melania Trump’s behavior during her husband Donald Trump’s victory speech.
This was after the 2024 presidential election.
Many people noticed that Melania seemed uncomfortable and did not appear to enjoy the moment.
This analysis has sparked discussion about her feelings and role in the spotlight.
Trump celebrates victory after election win
During the speech, Donald Trump celebrated his victory against Kamala Harris, claiming it was an “extraordinary honor” to be elected president again.
He expressed his vision of a “golden age” for America and thanked his supporters.
Melania joined him on stage, but her body language suggested she was not entirely on board with the celebration.
Expert analyzes Melania’s body language that suggests she didn’t want to be at Trump’s victory speech
The expert, Darren Stanton, shared his observations about Melania’s demeanor.
He noted that she often seems reluctant to be in the public eye.
According to Stanton, Melania does not enjoy being the center of attention.
This was evident during the speech, where she appeared to smile only when her husband looked at her.
When he was speaking, her expressions seemed forced and lacked genuine emotion.
“Something Trump does a lot is putting people on the spot, but Melania really doesn’t like it.
“She doesn’t like being front and centre and having the attention on her, it’s a very awkward dynamic between the two.”
Stanton explained that Melania prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
He mentioned that she often only shows smiles and emotions when her husband is directly engaging with her.
This could indicate a discomfort with being publicly acknowledged, especially in such a high-pressure situation.
“She just has such a reluctance in her expressions. Melania doesn’t want to be there, in the limelight. She doesn’t like the limelight,” he said.
When Donald Trump paused to kiss Melania during his speech, the body language expert observed a notable difference in their emotional expressions.
Stanton described Melania’s reaction as somewhat defiant.
She did not seem eager to reciprocate the kiss, which suggested a disconnect between the couple at that moment.
This lack of enthusiasm raised questions about her feelings about being in the public eye and her role as the first lady.
Stanton also pointed out that there seemed to be an awkwardness in Melania’s expressions.
He described her smile as “fake,” suggesting it was more about obligation than genuine happiness.
“There’s not the level of emotion you’d expect given her husband has just been elected president,” he continued.
“It’s all quite contrived, she’s just reluctant to show any emotion, there’s no real happiness or joy. There’s always an awkwardness with Melania.”
“Her head’s up which is almost like a gesture of defiance, she is reluctant to reciprocate the action,” Stanton explained.
“There’s no passion, she doesn’t want to be there and doesn’t like showing emotion towards him, but instead prefers to maintain her own composure.”
Social media reactions
Many people have speculated about Melania’s position and how she feels about her role as first lady.
Some believe she prefers to maintain a strong image rather than being seen as lesser than her husband.
This desire for independence could explain her reluctance to embrace the public attention that comes with being in such a prominent position.
To be honest, I feel a bit for her as I dont think she expected to be back there.
Now she has to deal with another 4 years in the spotlight with constant scrutiny on anything she does.
There even was when she disappeared for weeks on end doing nothing at all, one user said.
The media creating division as always, the second user commented.
I’m pretty sure no one except her knows how she feels. But she looks beautiful as always! The third user said.
Yall chill she was probably just tired, as we all were that late, another wrote.
