Though Donald and Melania Trump have rarely showcased public affection, Inauguration Day 2025 marked a noticeable shift. Unlike past moments where their interactions seemed tense, this time, Melania was smiling, holding her husband’s hand, and even sharing a kiss on the cheek. Was this a sign of a stronger bond?
The Inaugural Dance and Body Language
During their inaugural ball dance, Melania’s behavior caught the attention of body language experts. While the couple shared an elegant moment, there was noticeable tension, especially when Melania’s wide-brimmed hat created a barrier during an attempted kiss, causing a brief, awkward air kiss. Experts suggested this could be her way of shielding herself from public attention.
Despite these moments, Donald and Melania shared intimate exchanges, with Donald seemingly protective and Melania exuding a regal, confident vibe in her tailored outfit and saucer-shaped hat. Her body language was more reserved than in 2017, often maintaining a neutral expression, a move some experts believe helped her avoid public scrutiny.
