Donald and Melania Trump together... in awkward photos
Although they are still married, they are still an odd couple. When the New York mogul and former president was convicted of paying hush money to an adult film star and sat through his court case, many people began to wonder where the former first lady was.
Close sources told People magazine that Melania Trump hoped the Stormy Daniels case would just go away. She allegedly hoped it would be a simple rainfall, forgetting that she was married to one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
The former first lady has had a rough road to walk these past years. Being married to Donald Trump is probably hard enough, but having to constantly portray the image of the adoring wife is even harder. Join us as we take a look at photos that may portray what Melania really thinks about the former president.
If you look at Trump and Melania's photos together, and there are a lot, many are of Trump puckering up to kiss the former first lady. We think that Melania isn't a fan of Trump's PDAs, and she is a master kiss evader. For example, in this photo, look at how she is holding Trump's wrist; it looks like she is trying to keep him from getting too close.
We can't blame Melania. If we saw those puckered up lips coming at us, we would just run away!
Now, when your husband wants to kiss you in public, you'll make him look bad if you back away. So what should you do? Melania's solution: deflect from the mouth, let him kiss you on the cheek, and just "air kiss" him back.
But sometimes, even expert kiss-avoiders like Melania fail to avoid all kisses. She must be thinking, "Do it for America, Melania, do it for America!"
When the President gives a speech, we are pretty sure that if a "First Lady Handbook" exists, there must be something about looking attentive and lovingly at your husband as he speaks. That being said, those rules probably don't apply when your husband is constantly making some of the most ridiculous statements in American history!
Melania needs to work on her poker face. She has a beautiful smile, but when her husband is acting like a buffoon, she just can't seem to keep her distaste over his actions from showing on her face.
Or maybe Melania's lack of respect when her husband gives a speech is just her passive-aggressive way of giving him the same treatment she receives. Trump appears to be using his wife's time to speak as a chance for a power nap!
In this photo, one can't help but imagine what Melania is thinking. Our best guess:
"OMG. This can't be my life. What have I signed up for??!!"
What should you do when you just can't take your man's antics anymore, and you are dying of public embarrassment? Take a note from Melania's playbook - simply walk away!
In contrast to the way Melania touches and looks at Trump, this photo of Melania with Trudeau says a lot. Melania appears genuinely happy to be speaking to and touching Trudeau.
Frankly, we can't blame her; it must be exhilarating to be close to a man whose main hobbies don't include spray tanning and eating big macs while watching 'Shark Tank' in bed!
In many photos, Melania just looks fed up with everything. Living with Donald Trump day in and day out is bound to leave one in a rough state!
Here we have yet another example of Trump doing what he does best: acting a fool. Despite her best efforts to appear indifferent to her husband's actions, Melania's face says it all! Yikes!
Trying to hide your disdain and put on a good face for the public must be exhausting. In this photo, Melania pulls it off, but...
...when she thinks the attention is off her, her facial expressions - and her choice of clothing! - reveal her true feelings.
Watching Trump make a fool of himself during the holidays? Just another day on the job for Melania, who appears to have quite enough of her husband's ridiculousness.
Probably one of the hardest things about constantly being in the spotlight is having cameras capture your every move. In this photo, Melania has been captured giving Trump the side-eye. Definitely not the gaze of an adoring wife!
As we said, it's only natural that sometimes Melania just can't contain her disapproval over what and how Trump says things.
She was probably extremely relieved when her time at the White House is over. This is the day she finally walked out of that place. But her husband needed to hold a little speech, of course...
And then, after landing in Florida, again with the press... No. Melania was DONE.
Now, she can finally relax and call Trump out when needed!
