Body Language Experts Break Down Melania’s Reaction To Trump In Viral Video


A video from Donald Trump’s most recent campaign rally has the internet extremely concerned about Melania Trump’s well-being. In the clip filmed on Saturday, February 18 at the president’s event in Orlando, Florida, Melania is preparing to deliver the Lord’s Prayer for a rambunctious crowd surrounding her.


Moments before she begins the prayer, Donald Trump approaches the FLOTUS and touches her upper arm before walking behind her. In that very moment, Melania takes a quick breath, rapidly turns her head and looks down at the podium. When she looks back up, she re-focuses and begins the prayer.

After the video clip was posted on Twitter, one user specifically pointed out the controversial moment when Donald approaches his wife, and people became worried. Some people claimed Melania acted how “sexual abuse victims react to their aggressors in public,” while others seemed unfazed by the couple’s interaction.

In order to properly decipher the meaning behind Melania’s reaction to Donald Trump, Elite Daily spoke with body language experts who analyzed the clip for us.

Elite Daily spoke with two body language experts who watched the video of Donald touching Melania’s arm, and a few conclusions could be made based off their analyses. Dr. Lillian Glass, a highly acclaimed Body Language and Communications Expert, watched the video and concluded Melania’s demeanor on stage was caused by fear.

‘’She wasn’t referring to a fear of Donald Trump, though — she was referring to a fear born from being the first lady. Of Melania’s reaction on stage, Glass said,

I find her to be extremely nervous and very uncomfortable in her role of First Lady. She’s extremely tense, her voice shakes, it often cracks which shows a sign of muscle tension that has nothing to do with Donald Trump.’’
