Donald Trump uses an unusual nickname for Melania
Public Display at a Patriotic Parade
During a rare joint appearance at a Washington, D.C. parade on June 14—marking both the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and Donald Trump’s 79th birthday—Donald and Melania Trump shared a brief but intimate moment that caught public attention.
As they stood together, Melania touched Trump’s back, and he responded with a soft pat. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman reported that Trump whispered, “Thank you, baby.”
Body Language Under the Spotlight
Experts offered mixed interpretations. Body language analyst Judi James noted Melania’s “tension” but pointed out sincere gestures like early hand-holding.
Trump, in contrast, seemed more relaxed but less emotionally expressive. Melania appeared poised and in control throughout the ceremony.
A Playful Private Exchange
Another lip reader, Nicola Hickling, observed a humorous moment between the couple.
Melania said, “They’re doing well.”
Trump replied, “I touched one of them with my finger.”
Melania smiled and responded, “You did not do that.”
The exchange gave viewers a rare glimpse into the couple’s playful dynamic.
Public Fascination Continues
While the event drew criticism from some, others saw Trump’s laid-back approach as respectful to the military. Whether interpreted as affectionate or simply courteous, the Trumps’ subtle, unscripted interactions continue to fuel public curiosity about their relationship.
