#FreeMelania: Twitter sends out call to ‘save’ Trump’s wife


In the wake of a compromising video shot during the inauguration of Donald Trump, the Internet has sent out an ironic SOS to #FreeMelania.

The clip, which was filmed as Rev. Franklin Graham was delivering a blessing to the new president, shows Melania smiling brightly at her husband as he looks over his shoulder, and quickly dissolves into a scowl once his back is turned. It has sparked speculation that the first lady is unhappy in her role and has subsequently placed the Trumps’ relationship under the virtual microscope.

Naturally, Twitter users have been having a field day with the clip and other snapshots from inauguration day.

The interactions between the president and first lady were in stark contrast to those between Barack and Michelle Obama on inauguration day. While the outgoing first couple were caught in a few spontaneous tender moments and were generally seen smiling and laughing, the Trumps barely made any physical or eye contact.

“They are a very different couple than the Obamas,” says Patti Wood, a body language expert and professional speaker. “Couples who are connected will lean up against each other, briefly touch or kiss, and offer helpful gestures, like when Barack took Melania’s gift from Michelle.”

“When [Donald] glanced back in the video, he wasn’t looking directly at Melania and didn’t make a connection. Her smile was up and energetic, but there wasn’t a warm connection that was broken. It looks more like she was hoping for a connection.”

Wood says there were several gestures that he made that indicated he doesn’t think they’re on the same plane as a couple. When they arrived at the White House to greet the Obamas, he walked up the stairs without waiting for Melania to exit the car. Similarly, during their inaugural dance, he pulled away from her.

“Those were all interesting choices,” she says. “He could have made small changes toward his wife to indicate that he honours her. Instead, he didn’t do anything to make her feel comfortable.”
The Trumps have just celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary.

Body language expert explain Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship

Body language experts explain Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/marriage/body-language-experts-explain-donald-and-melania-trumps-relationship/news-story/8c0424df65c1f9fd1566cc43835f62a7 
If you found yourself watching the presidential inauguration and thinking, ‘Geez, you could cut the tension between Donald and Melania Trump with a knife’ you weren’t alone.
During the President’s first week in office, social media has been quick to scrutinise the relationship between the new First Family — and how it compares to that of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle.
On Inauguration Day, the Trumps stepped out of their black security car to greet the Obamas who were waiting outside the White House.
This was the first moment body language expert, Patti Wood — who has been studying interactions between celebrity couples for more than 20 years — noted as the first flaw in the unit.
“What I didn’t see when they stepped out of that car was warmth or tenderness,” Ms Wood told news.com.au.
“There were several ways in which Trump could’ve waited for his wife before greeting the Obamas, which he failed to do.
“Instead, he walked ahead and left her behind, showing that he is more important and takes precedence.”
Ms Wood said that while President Trump could’ve escorted the First Lady up the stairs, or given the gift to the Obamas as a couple — “he didn’t make the choice we wanted him to make”.
“The big ticker for me is that he didn’t even look back, check on his wife and formally introduce her to the Obamas,” she said.
“He didn’t make eye contact or smile at her, and he didn’t bring her into the fold.
“During the gift exchange, it looked like he had told her what to do with the box.
“It didn’t indicate they were a unit.”
Ms Wood said while the day is about the new President, the meeting at the White House is more a family exchange — from one unit to another.
“The Obamas made her feel welcome, but I didn’t see him make her feel that way,” she said.
“Meeting at the White House is for one family welcoming the other, but from what we saw — it didn’t look like the Trumps were a unit.
