Melania was the face of beauty and grace as she turned up for her husband’s “birthday parade.” The FLOTUS, who has largely been absent from Donald Trump’s second term as President, was photographed smiling and enjoying the event. Netizens also noticed Trump’s adorable interactions with his wife.
A lip reader has now revealed exactly what the President told his wife.
The FLOTUS seemed to be in high spirits as she watched the event unfold. Melania and Donald Trump were seen constantly smiling at each other as they spoke to each other.
A sweet moment that the two shared came when J.D. Vance invited them on the stage. As they made their way up to the stage, Melania placed her hand on the President’s lower back while he returned the gesture. He notably whispered something to his wife at the moment.
In a conversation with the Irish Star, professional lip reader Jeremy Freeman shared what it was that Trump told Melania during the sweet interaction. “Thank you, baby,” is what the President told his wife as she took her seat on stage. Trump then went on to address the crowd that had gathered after he was handed a microphone.
Over 6,000 soldiers, WWII Sherman tanks, Black Hawk helicopters, and other military vessels were a part of the grand military parade. The parade came on the same day as the President’s birthday. This led to Trump becoming the recipient of criticism, with many calling it his “birthday parade.”

200,000 attendees showed up to witness the sight that hadn’t taken place in the last three decades. While many carried out “No Kings” protests in the country to oppose the parade. The parade that reportedly came at cost $45 million was dubbed a “success” by the President.
“It was beautiful. We had a fantastic audience,” he told Fox News in a conversation. He also noted how proud he was of the soldiers who were bravely serving the country. “And let me tell you, the way that we honor and respect you, number one, we never ask you to go to war unless you absolutely have to,” Trump added.
Darren Stanton, who is a body language expert,” analyzed Melania’s behavior and labelled it as “contrived.” The expert claimed that there was a “reluctance” in the FLOTUS’ behavior. Stanton noted that Melania’s smiles appeared to be “fake.” He added, “She’s smiling because she has to, rather than instinctual.”

He noted the lack of “reciprocal liking” and “very little tactiness” between the couple. “No hugs, or being really close to each other,” he added. The expert claimed that the couple was distant in reality, with “no obvious signs of affection.”
Melania looked stunning in her recent appearance at the military parade for the US Army’s 250th anniversary. The 55-year-old looked beautiful in a double-breasted blazer and a matching skirt. The ivory set was made by New York-based Adam Lippes. The FLOTUS wore one of Lippes’ creations at the Inauguration ceremony, which earned her criticism from netizens.
