Donald Trump and Melania Trump celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary earlier this year. Despite the length of their marriage, they have continued to step up their game when it comes to displaying their affection.
A body language expert said that their photos over the years show that they have increased their "PDAs." The U.S. President and his wife, reportedly, hold their hands more frequently. In the way they react to each other, it appears that they have "shifted" to a more potent "power signals," according to the Daily Express.
Speaking to the publication, expert Judi James said that, since Melania and Donald Trump's arrival inside the White House, they have shown "changes" in their interactions. She deemed them as "slow-burning" and "latent" shifts.
The body language explained that the increase of PDAs might have something to do with their current roles. As the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump has, reportedly, attracted the affection of the public.
James added that her husband might have "realized" his wife's popularity, and thought of it as a "unique selling point" to get re-elected. So, the frequent holding of hands during public engagements appears to be an effort for the public to see them as a "power couple."
The body language expert is seemingly certain of her observations. However, a recent viral video of Donald Trump and Melania Trump shows otherwise.
Last week, the First Couple made into the headlines when the video caught the U.S. President's failed attempt to hold his wife's hands, as per The Independent. Many individuals said that the First Lady appears to have repeatedly refused her husband's "advances" as they descended from the Air Force One.
Celebrities, like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, poked fun at the video, adding that Melania seems to care more for her luxurious Birkin handbag. Several netizens, also, shared their puns on several platforms, referencing Melania's refusal as the ultimate "resistance."
Amid all the criticisms and jokes about Donald Trump and Melania Trump, many of their avid followers and fans seemingly defended them on the same platforms. Some of them, reportedly, argued that it was windy that day and the First Lady was holding her dress down, as well as her bag. So, holding her husband's hand might not be the safest way to climb down the stairs with her towering heels.
In the end, however, many reports said that this was not the first time that videos of them having awkward and failed attempts of PDAs went viral. These even, reportedly, became the base argument of many individuals, who claim that Melania and Donald Trump are in an unhappy marriage.
