All eyes were on a rare moment between Donald Trump and his wife Melania, even though he was celebrating his 79th birthday with tanks and marching bands. Melania and Donald Trump, who have hardly been spotted together in public during Trump’s second term, were finally photographed together over the weekend at a military parade in Washington, D.C.
