President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania experienced an awkward moment at his military parade, celebrating his birthday and the US Army's anniversary.
Trump addressed the gathering following the procession of military weapons and service members, discussing the US military's rich history and the sacrifices made by warriors in numerous conflicts, according to the Irish Star.
Following their address, he and Melania were greeted with cheers before standing still and gazing straight ahead with minimal interaction.
Lip Leader weighs in on Trump, Melania interaction
According to a lipreader who watched Trump and Melania at Saturday's military parade, the First Lady seemed to take offense at something the President said about his conversation with the ceremony's featured troops.
Nicola Hickling, a lip reading expert, claims that Melania leans against Trump in an interesting moment, Irish Star reported.
Melania looked down at the marching soldiers and remarked, “They're good.” Hickling claimed that when the duo saw each other, Trump replied, “I pushed my finger on one of them.”
Melania, in a lighthearted response, said, “You didn't do that,” the lip leader stated.
After saluting the soldier, Trump puts his hand on Melania's knee and remarked: “Your right I never pushed my finger on them,” Hickling stated.
