Is there unrest between Donald and Melania Trump? Body language expert Jess Ponce III thinks so. In an exclusive interview with Nicki Swift, he delved into the subtleties of their interactions at Amalija Knavs’ funeral, noting that the couple’s behavior may confirm the longstanding rumors that their marriage is standing on shaky ground. While the former first couple initially showed a united front, the fact that they left the event separately may indicate marital discord.
“After the family exited the church, there was a significant moment when Donald and Melania stood side by side without their son. Their expressions were somber, fitting for the occasion, as they maintained a respectful distance from each other,” observed Ponce. “Although their poses weren’t particularly unusual, it was notable that when it was time to depart, they [rode] in separate cars.” The body language expert went on to point out that there was zero “physical contact or display of intimacy” between them. It makes one wonder if there’s any truth to the rumors that their marriage has evolved into something more akin to a business arrangement.
“The real curiosity lies in what the future holds for their interactions. The next time we witness them together will likely be the most revealing moment yet,” he concluded. We’ll find out soon enough, as Donald previously declared that Melania will join him on the campaign trail. “When it’s appropriate, but pretty soon,” he said in his September 2023 “Meet the Press” interview (via NBC News), noting Melania wants to maintain her privacy while also showing her patriotism.
