Relationships: Obamas vs. Trumps

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at YCP chapter.

 

By now, most of us have seen the video of Donald and Melania Trump during the inauguration where Melania is all smiles when Donald is talking to her, but is visibly miserable once he turns away. Many body language analysts have gone through the inauguration and said that there could be problems in their relationship, eventually resulting in the #FreeMelania craze over social media.

 

Many have taken to compare the relationship between them and compare them to the relationship of Michelle and Barack Obama. For example, there’s an image floating around where you can see how even when standing with one another, the Obamas are seen holding hands, while the Trumps stand stone-cold. This could be this way for a number of reasons, as I have heard from others.

 

It could be that the Obama’s were emotional about leaving the White House, maybe the Trumps agreed to keep a steady and straight composure, since it would be Donald’s first moments as POTUS, and other reasons. Maybe the Obama’s are more physical in which they show their affection to one another; but whatever the reason, let’s just hope that there’s not anything going on.

You can see, Melania is stone-cold and visibly frowning once Donald Turns away. What do you think of this?
