UK’s First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump engaged in an ‘intense’ conversation at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in DC on Sunday, prompting a lip reader and body language expert into action.
The clips, capturing a seemingly tense VIP suite exchange between Trump and his wife have set the internet ablaze, with lip reader Nicola Hickling and body language expert Judi James revealing what really happened during their appearance at the patriotic car race.
Initial footage from the event showed the presidential couple in full ‘canoodling mode’ – flirting, smiling and touching hands for the camera.
However, James notes that Melania’s social smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a closed, downturned mouth.
Hickling decoded the silent dialogue as ‘intense,’ revealing that Melania leaned inward and appeared to issue a firm warning: ‘That is private and valuable text.’
When her husband inquired, ‘Was it enough?’ Melania then replied, ‘I don’t know.’
‘Then I need to see it,’ he insisted, according to Hickling’s analysis.
Attempting to step away, Melania appeared to whisper: ‘Donald, listen, I’m gonna go,’ only for the President to cut in: ‘Listen, she asked you not to close the door.’
After Melania asked, ‘why?’ Trump cautioned with a solemn expression, according to Hickling, ‘It’s bad news, but it’s bad timing, Melania.’
Calling the situation ‘crazy,’ Melania executed a sharp swish of her hair – what James characterizes as an alert signal reflecting impatience or a firmly made point.
Hickling caught the tail end of her whispered instruction, which she translated to: ‘Obviously, I’ll see her and talk to her in the morning.’
