Donald Trump & Melania Trump In Heated Exchange

The pair were spotted through the windows of Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House last week, and a video that captures their tense exchange has gone viral on social media. In it, the president is making gestures at the FLOTUS, which she responds to with the shake of a head.

Many theories have sprung up around what they could've been talking about, with lip reading expert Jeremy Freeman at the forefront of the interpretation. He says Trump was complaining about "escalator-gate," referencing when the escalator the Trumps were riding on mysteriously stopped during last week's UN summit.

Social Media Discourse

Others aren't so sure, with the gestures thrown at one another—Donald's pointing finger and Melania's dismissive gesture—some think their exchange was more personal than that. "He's probably threatening to deport her," one person wrote on TikTok.

"Did Trump forget to pay her?" another asked.

"Zero affection, ever," a third person pointed out.

"I'm surprised they even talk," another user wrote.

"She hates him and she doesn't hide it at all," one comment reads.

"The time she spends with him is paid," a final person insisted. "I'm sure they are negotiating future appearances they need her to make. They are only married on paper."
