After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, many observers noted the somewhat detached demeanor of Melania Trump, his wife. While Donald Trump was jubilant in celebrating his historic win, Melania’s expression seemed to reflect little of the same level of joy or enthusiasm.

According to body language experts and various commentators, her reaction appeared to convey a sense of reservation, with some speculating that she lacked genuine happiness about her husband’s success.

One expert, in particular, noted that Melania’s body language, including her lack of smiles and minimal physical affection towards Donald, suggested a deeper sense of discomfort or reluctance.

This was in contrast to the typical celebratory displays one might expect from a partner of a newly elected president. Her apparent distance from the event, both physically and emotionally, prompted some to question her level of personal investment in the political journey that had dominated their lives in the months leading up to the election.
