Melania Trump shared a touching moment with her husband, Donald Trump, at the Liberty Ball, as revealed by a lip reader. The newly inaugurated US president attended three official balls with his family to celebrate the historic event.
Their evening began at the Commander in Chief ball, followed by the Liberty Ball where they had what was described as an “awkward” dance. The night concluded at Union Station’s Starlight Ball.
According to lip reading expert Jeremy Freeman, during their dance at the Liberty Ball, Melania whispered to President Trump, saying, “Today is one we will never forget.” In response, Trump expressed determination, stating, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.”
In a tender moment, Melania reassured Trump with the words, “I got you,” to which he questioned her ability to handle the situation with less difficulty. Melania firmly responded with a “no,” prompting Trump to acknowledge her response.
At the Commander-in-Chief ball earlier that night, President Trump and Melania commenced their inaugural celebrations with a grand entrance and their first dance in front of a large audience, as reported by the Irish Star.
The dance between Trump and Melania drew attention, with body language expert Mark Bowden noting Melania’s apparent discomfort in supporting her husband’s weight during the dance. Observers commented on the closeness of the couple during the dance, highlighting Melania’s effort to adjust to the situation.
Social media reactions varied, with Greg Matt Travis describing the inaugural ball dance as lacking fluidity and energy, contrasting with the celebratory atmosphere it was meant to convey.
Another notable moment from the Inauguration Day festivities was Trump’s son Barron’s gesture towards outgoing president Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as observed by lip reader Jeremy during a brief interaction.
The events of Inauguration Day, including the ceremonial proceedings and social interactions, captured the attention of the public and sparked various interpretations and analyses.
