Donald and Melania Trump were seen in a seemingly tense moment as the President gestured at his wife while she shook her head. The incident took place on Marine One as they returned from a busy day at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Observers witnessed the 79-year-old President pointing at the 55-year-old First Lady during their conversation inside the helicopter.
After landing, the couple displayed a different demeanor as they held hands while walking across the South Lawn into The White House. Earlier at the UN, President Trump claimed that they had experienced “triple sabotage” following an escalator malfunction incident. He criticized the UN staff for what he described as a dangerous situation that could have caused harm.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned that UN staff had allegedly joked about sabotaging the escalator as a prank. Trump strongly condemned the incident, labeling it as sabotage and demanding that those responsible be arrested. The couple, married since 2005 with one child, Barron Trump, has faced public scrutiny over Melania’s apparent discontent with her husband and her role in politics.
Melania has been observed rejecting her husband’s attempts to hold her hand and wearing large hats to avoid his kisses. In a separate incident, President Trump offered marriage advice to Emmanuel Macron after a video showed Macron’s wife seemingly slapping him during an argument. Trump assured that he spoke with Macron and that they were both fine, emphasizing their good relationship.
