One month from now, Melania Trump will watch her husband be inaugurated as the 47th US president in the US Capitol. Slovenian-born former model Melania will become First Lady of the United States again, but she says it will be different.
Renegotiating her prenup last year was a response to long-running rumors about Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage. Melania seldom appeared in recent weeks during her husband’s presidential campaign, and a body language expert said she didn’t seem thrilled when Trump won.
Things are different now. While waiting to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Donald and Melania rang the New York Stock Exchange bell a few days ago. However, people detected a ‘hole’ in the back of the former and future first lady’s head.
In one month, Donald Trump and Melania will begin their second term as president and first lady. Melania was reportedly uninterested in returning to the White House some years ago. She publicly supported her husband after the presidential race ended.
However, the second term at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will differ for numerous reasons. Since Barron Trump is a freshman at Stern Business School at New York University, he won’t live with his parents in Washington. Since the 18-year-old lives at Trump Tower, Melania Trump’s four-year term as first lady will be different. She is ‘unlikely’ to live there full-time, according to People Magazine.
A Trump family source said, “If Melania becomes first lady again, of course people expect her to move into the White House and perform appropriate duties,” adding that Melania doesn’t want to move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
“She will have her private living apartment there, as well as her New York and Palm Beach homes. She will visit all these places, the source said.
Melania Trump update via Donald
Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, told ABC: “She has told people, ‘Look, I’m not the one elected.’ Go to Mar-a-Lago and spend two weeks alone if she wants. But she will be in the White House. She enjoys pomp and circumstance.”
Kate Bennett, a former CNN White House correspondent and author of Free, Melania, also said the Slovenian-born former model will move between the White House, the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York to support Barron.
“She can be as active or inactive in the East Wing as she wants.”
Reports that Melania Trump may not dwell in the White House full-time have risen. Trump was voted Time Person of the Year this week. In his Time “victory interview,” the former and future president said Melania was “very active” at the end of the campaign and will join him in the White House.
“Ah yes. She became very active toward the end, as you witnessed in interviews. Yes, she does them well. Actually, people watch. She’s very beloved by the people, Melania,” Donald Trump said.
“And they like the fact that she’s not out there in your face all the time for many reasons. Many political people have that, you know. But she’s, she’s really, they really like her. They really love her. Actually, in many ways, when I make speeches, we love our First Lady. they have signs, we love our First Lady. No, she’ll be–she’ll be active, when she needs to be, when she needs to be.”
Melania Trump makes an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange
Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage has been on the front pages since they met in the late 1990s. As she didn’t appear next to her husband in public during most of the presidential campaign, suspicions surrounding their marriage arose when a body language expert studied Melania’s conduct on election night when Trump won, it seemed she wasn’t too thrilled.
“When Trump looks back at Melania and gestures to her to come over for a hug, she reluctantly comes forward,” Stanton told the Mirror. “It’s very disjointed and awkward, and there’s no emotion from her. We don’t see any genuine grins from Melania; it feels like a smile she has acquired for the occasion.”
Darren Stanton added: “Her husband was elected president, but there’s not much emotion. Everything is staged—she’s afraid to display emotion and has no real joy. Melania is always awkward.”
Melania Trump told Fox that her husband’s election triumph was “incredible.” Last week, Donald and Melania rang the New York Stock Exchange’s opening bell together to celebrate Donald’s Time Magazine “Person of the Year” title.
“For marshalling a historic comeback, driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, reshaping the American presidency and altering America’s role in the world, Donald Trump is Time’s 2024 Person of the Year,” the statement stated.
Melania is “embracing” First Lady role, says body language expert
Melania wore a grey pinstriped pantsuit alongside her husband, Ivanka, and Tiffany. Body language expert Judi James told the DailyMail that the former and prospective First Lady behaved differently, especially when touching her husband, as she repeatedly touched Donald.
Judi James said it appeared that Melania is embracing her powerful job as FLOTUS in a manner she hadn’t previously, adding that Donald was in “Mount Rushmore mode.”
His peacocking, showboating body language signals were limited to a few smug smiles and some tie-sign pointing at audience members, but his overall demeanor was one of chiseled-from-stone, statesmanlike gravity, a living homage to the very flattering TIME magazine cover photo that hung behind him on the Stock Exchange wall.
Judi James explained that Melania Trump could be more active and “use body language signals of a more relaxed sociability” since Donald Trump looked stronger.
James said, “Here she produced some very natural-looking smiles and instigated some conversations and even popped herself cheekily into a selfie that Trump was asked to pose for.” In addition to the hand clasp and tactile conduct, she steepled with her hands steepled forward and fingers touching. This motion conveys rank, authority, and high-power distance.”
Many welcomed Melania in public, but a social media video sparked controversy. Social media users observed a strange detail on her head, fueling the body double rumor.
New Melania Trump ‘hole in her head’ conspiracy theory
A social media user asked, “Why is there a hole in Melania Trump’s head?” and posted a First Lady portrait.
Users responded quickly to Melania’s photos, with one claiming that “the “hole in the back of her head” might be her “charging port,” suggesting she was a robot, the Express reported. The hole may indicate that Melania was a body double, according to another user.
I suppose it’s intended so we know it’s doubles, said one person. Melania always looks great, and our President always has the same hairstyle. They were always neat. We must figure out why.”
Other users said Melania’s weak hair and extensions caused it.
“She probably has extensions. One remarked, “Her hair was frizzy and she probably did it herself without checking the back.”
The Melania Trump body double conspiracy has persisted throughout the presidential campaign. It was revived before the November election when Medias Touch editor Ron Filipkowski released a footage with her saying she had “been wearing sunglasses inside all day today.” Conspiracy ideas spread.
A body double was allegedly used for the cameras. Daily Mail said that one X user wrote, “This is absolutely, categorically not Melania.” “This imposter wears sunglasses indoors all day.”
“Fake Melania”?
A second asked: ‘How is a man who walks around with a fake wife even a presidential candidate?’ Another X user said: “The check didn’t clear in time for the real Melania to make an appearance, so they had to bring the doppelganger off the bench.”
According to the Daily Beast, another user said various details ‘proved’ it was a “fake Melania.”
“Rings missing, wrong nail style & length, no smile lines in the jawline [or] lower cheek, bust is half the size it should be,” one observed. Another said the lady in the video appeared “20 years younger” than Melania Trump.
