Donald Trump’s Nickname for Wife Melania Revealed by Lip Reader
During a recent parade in the capital, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump appeared together on stage to “Hail to the Chief” and a 21-gun salute. Melania warmly touched Trump’s back as he approached the podium, and according to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Trump softly said, “Thank you, baby.”
Body language expert Judi James offered a mixed view of their interaction, noting both signs of affection and underlying tension. Melania’s composed posture and small gestures suggested unease, though she briefly held her husband’s hand and smiled warmly. Trump, by contrast, appeared casual, with an unbuttoned jacket and relaxed body language, possibly aiming to distance himself from the military formalities amid public criticism of appearing overly authoritarian.
Despite some stiffness, the couple shared light moments. Another lip reader, Nicola Hickling, captured a playful exchange where Melania praised the troops and Trump jokingly claimed to have “pushed” one, which she quickly corrected with a smile.
The parade marked both Trump’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Trump praised American soldiers in his speech, affirming their courage and readiness to defend the nation for generations to come.
