Interest in this pair has always been. She is young - he is old. She's a supermodel - he's a billionaire and a showman. This is more than enough to attract attention. But Donald Trump became president of the United States, and Melania - the first lady, so now they are followed even more closely, - writes Valentin Kim for TSN. - And not only in the States, but all over the world.
After the wedding, in Melania's relationship with her billionaire husband, there were ups and downs, as, indeed, all couples, but they did not ask the husband president from the very beginning. A sharp change of a smile to a grimace during Trump's inaugural speech, a constant distance between spouses, awkward pas during dancing at a ball after an inauguration, insincerity of smiles, imbalance of movements. These and many other signs speak of non-settling cordial relations in this marriage by calculation.
Consider for comparison several photos of happy and not very happy married couples. For example, young Putin. During this period, their relations were warm.
Barack and Michelle Obama are a kind of benchmark of family relations among politicians. They not only embrace each other with pleasure, touch each other. Their gestures, body positions and even facial expressions are often synchronous, and it is impossible to forge.
In this photo of 2008, then French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni demonstrate identical positive emotions, a close distance, the vectors of the position of the bodies facing each other. These are signs of mutual sympathy and trust, which is not so common among politicians.
The body is difficult to deceive, and if we see that the gestures of the spouses coincide - this is one of the most true signs of a happy family relationship. Disorder in the family often becomes noticeable first of all at the level of nonverbalism. That's what couples look like, whose relationships are not going through the best period.
The most obvious signs of family frustration are the distance between the spouses' bodies, the lack of tactile contact, the multidirectional vectors of the bodies. The picture was taken at a time when the couple of Putin's already lived separately and, obviously, they meant very little to each other.
While it's too early to talk about the breakdown of Melania and Donald Trump, but if such a distance between spouses in a quite official environment lasts another six months or a year, then we can witness a divorce in the White House. And although after numerous publications around the world that not all is well in the relations of the first pair of the US, they did hand in hand and even pressed themselves against each other while driving in front of the press, let it not bother you - as already mentioned, in both spouses Great experience in the game to the public.
As you can see, the main marker for all happy and unhappy couples is the distance between the bodies of the husband and wife. In pairs where everything is fine, the couple stand close to each other, they often come in contact with shoulders and hips, their bodies are turned to each other. If there are problems in relations, then everything is exactly the opposite - the distance is chosen more, there are no contacts of the bodies, the spouses are trying to turn away from each other, even if they have to hold hands.
In the story with Melania, the last signs on the face. Only if earlier disdain for his wife was the visiting card of Donald, now "character" shows Melania already. Her stressed sadness, detachment, indifference to the protocol courtesies surrounding her during the inauguration and Trump's first foreign tour as US president is not a sign of a bad mood, but a sign of a bad mood.
Perhaps this is her personal little revenge on Donald. For what? Yes, for anything, as the classic wrote, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. But one thing is certain: a woman who has devoted more than one decade to the professional career of the model, is able to work with the face and take the expression that is required here and now. If she does not do this, then this is something she needs.
At the time of Melania Knauss and Donald Trump, she was 29 years old. To him - 53. She is a young woman, he is a mature man. Now she is 47. To Him - 71. She is in the prime of her life, and he is an old man, the oldest president in US history. What happens to people at this age? Her blood is still boiling, and he has all the functions of the body fading. Including sexual and emotional. Trump is not a champion of a healthy lifestyle and moderation, so it is unlikely that he retained a sufficient amount of energy that could be given to his wife.
Do not forget about the role of disproportion.
Twenty years ago Melania needed Trump not only as a wife, but also as a marketing move. Beautiful and young woman looked great next to a scandalous businessman. And now the elderly president needs a loyal and energetic assistant, rather than a wife unsatisfied with family issues. And this role is actively tried on by the daughter of Trump Ivanka.
And here is a more serious conflict. This is not only a fight for the division of property, but also a battle for the spheres of influence that the Trump family can provide for his presidency. Melanie obviously does not like the role of "wedding general". But she can not oppose anything. Perhaps she is trying to spoil the protocol photos, to at least somehow destroy the game of the unloved spouse and his family.
More than clear signals Melania can inflict serious political and reputation damage to Trump. After all, if he is not able to negotiate with his own wife, and she can turn into a farce a whole series of crucial visits, then not everything is under the control of the President of the United States of America.
