WASHINGTON, DC: Melania Trump reportedly shared an awkward moment with her husband Donald Trump while dancing at the inauguration ball.
A body language expert has said that the first lady appeared uncomfortable and also had a “terrible moment of revulsion” while sharing the dance floor with Trump at the Commander-in-Chief ball, as reported by The Irish Star.

Body language expert says Melania and Trump appeared to lose ‘sense of connection’

Mark Bowden shared, “He and Melania take a traditional ballroom hold, but the moment quickly becomes awkward. As Melania’s head springs back—likely an effort to flick her hair away from her face—it risks appearing as a sudden, terrible moment of revulsion.”
“Trump himself seems to misread the gesture, as his head reflexively jerks back too. In an attempt to recover, he thrusts his head forward into Melania, trying to reassert a sense of connection,” the expert added.

Melania Trump's ‘first priority is to be a mom’
This came after earlier reports said that Melania won’t be living at the White House full time after Trump takes the office as she also wants to be close to her only child Barron, who now studies at New York University.

In an interview, she said, as per OK! Magazine, “I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife.”
“Whatever he would like to do. I feel as children, we have them till they are 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly,” she added, referring to Barron.
