On April 6, local time, former U.S. President Donald Trump brought his wife Melania to a dinner at the home of local billionaire John Paulson and his fiancée Alina de Almeida in Palm Beach, Florida.
Interestingly, when the Trump couple arrived at the event, the subtle details of the interaction between the two were captured by the media. As you can see in the photo, as Trump prepares to make the "announce" gesture, he looks at his wife's hand and opens his mouth slightly, as if urging the other party to respond quickly.
But embarrassingly, Melania directly chose to "ignore", her left hand was still "unmoved", and her right hand was "firmly" inserted into her pocket, looking quite indifferent.
In an interview with The Mirror, body language expert Jodie James described Melania as looking like a "well-groomed" plant, while Donald Trump was "more like a knotted weed", an "invasive weed" that grows on the side of the road.
Melania is a lot like a potted plant, James analyzes, she has to be "well-groomed, well-trimmed, and has no inappropriate movements, expressions or hairstyles," while her husband is more like an aster, who is "dominant, unkempt, and unable to move an inch once he takes root." ”
As for why Melania was reluctant to hold hands with her husband, the expert believes that either because she did not expect her husband to take the initiative to extend the invitation, or because she wanted to avoid this moment in the first place.
In addition, James noted that the two often have this contrast in their body language, and that this contrast creates a lot of "awkward moments" and "has always been like this".
The expert added, "Trump likes to act on the spot, and he cherishes the occasional show of affection with his wife, but Melania prefers to be graceful and even used to deliberately shake Trump's outstretched hand away." ”
But in the end, Trump still got his wish and showed affection, and he took his wife's hand and walked into the lobby. Still, James felt the couple wasn't getting along with each other, reminding that "[Melania] was smiling and settling in a very lady-like pose to greet the guests, while Trump leaned over, apparently sharing something that looked like a joke." ”
Having said that, there is no doubt that Melania has gone to great lengths to support her husband. Recently, the couple also invited a number of special guests to their Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, including Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota, both of whom are Trump's preferred vice presidential choices.
According to the Daily Mail, among the invited guests were some of the richest in politics and finance, including billionaire Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebecca Mercer, business tycoon Steve Wayne and his wife Andrea, oil tycoon Harold Hamm, as well as Condé Nast CEO Howard Lutnick and grocery store chain CEO John Kazimatitis.
At the same time, the Trumps' 18-year-old son Barron also unexpectedly appeared, and the handsome boy made a stunning appearance in a suit, which instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
