Melania Trump’s “awkward” moment during inaugural dance

Donald and Melania Trump don’t often show their love for each other in public. On election night in November last year, one body language even claimed that Melania didn’t look happy for her husband’s win, while rumors about their marriage not being strong have been ongoing for years.

However, during Inauguration Day on Monday, things were different. Melania was seen smiling and holding her husband’s hand, and the couple even exchanged kisses on the cheek. One body language expert concluded that their behavior has marked a significant shift in Donald and Melania’s relationship, even if it wasn’t all positive throughout the day.

One body language expert noticed something special during Donald and Melania Trump’s dance at the inauguration ball; it seemed as if the First Lady’s behavior was awkward for one specific reason.

Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th President of the United States was, as every inauguration before it, grand. Although it was too cold to see him sworn in outside, the former real estate mogul officially took his oath of office inside the US Capitol Rotunda, with his family at his side for the entire day.

Melania Trump’s to-be-or-not-to-be as a second-term first lady has been discussed for years. Initially, when the Trump’s left the White House the first time, it was reported that returning was the last thing she wanted.

However, with Trump set to begin his second presidential election campaign, Melania publicly showed her support for her husband, stating that she would love to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Still, when Donald announced his presidential election win in November, it appeared she wasn’t thrilled at all.

While many saw it as a beautiful moment when Donald and Melania shared a big hug and exchanged a kiss, one body language expert was not convinced. Darren Stanton stated that Melania was reluctant to walk to her husband on stage to celebrate the presidential election win, claiming there was “no closeness.”

Why Melania Trump was claimed to be “unhappy” on election day

“When Trump looks back at Melania and gestures to her to come over for a hug, she reluctantly comes forward,” Stanton told the Mirror. “It’s very disjointed and awkward, and there’s no emotion from her. We don’t see any genuine smiles from Melania, it feels like a smile she has adopted for the occasion.”

Stanton continued: “There’s not the level of emotion you’d expect given her husband has just been elected president. It’s all quite contrived, she’s just reluctant to show any emotion, there’s no real happiness or joy. There’s always an awkwardness with Melania.”

Melania attended her husband’s last rallies in the lead up to the presidential election. Since the win in November, she and Donald have been preparing to move into the White House again. On January 20, the Trump family celebrated as Donald was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and it appeared that the relationship between the new POTUS and FLOTUS was better than ever.

Speaking to the Mirror, body language expert Judi James noticed that Donald spent much of the inauguration clutching his wife’s hand or, as she described, “taking it like some Regency gentleman, kissing her proffered cheek or even gazing at her as they danced together like a man in the throes of some romantic thrall.”

The First Lady’s outfits will always likely be a big talking point, and it proved no different for the inauguration. According to Judi James, Melania’s outfit was crucial in sending a message about what kind of first lady she would be.

Melania Trump showed “power signals” on Inauguration Day

“Her saucer- shaped hat and her fiercely-tailored coat twinned her as an equal to Trump and a woman who means business this time around. Beneath the brim her smile was regal and confident, while her eyes were kept hidden,” James said.

“During tricky social moments, like when they were seeing the Biden’s off after Trump’s flame-thrower of a speech, Melania seemed to make her own feelings very clear when Biden placed an arm around her waist for a full ten seconds and she turned away towards her husband with one elbow splayed as she held onto her hat brim. As Trump leaned in to shake hands with Biden she placed her own arm around Trump’s waist for several seconds and patted him in a gesture of reward and reassurance.”

Body language expert James stated that Melania’s “power signals” have increased. She added that the First Lady’s warm smile showed “an air of relaxed confidence.”

“As they leave the service, Donald and Melania amplify their clasped hands into a more pronounced display of unity. Trump lifts the clasp higher a few times, almost waving it as they walk towards their car, as though signaling both pride in his wife and a gentlemanly concern for her as they step off the curb,” James told the Mirror.

“Trump’s expression is familiar – the slightly stern, almost baleful look that mirrors his official portrait. Melania, in contrast, seems determined to inject a touch of celebration into the occasion. Though her eyes are shielded by the brim of her hat, her wide, toothy smile creates an air of relaxed confidence.”

Melania was “protected from criticism by hiding her expression,” expert claims

Melania said she was much more prepared to enter the White House this time around, so it makes sense to assume that she will approach things differently. According to another body language expert, Inbaal Honigman, her behavior was different at this inauguration than in 2017.

“Melania’s body language during the 2025 inauguration is still and neutral,” Inbaal told Covers.com. “She sits still in her model pose, her facial expression neutral, not drawing any attention to herself, letting all attention be on her husband.”

He continued by saying that she appeared more “friendly.”

“In comparison, Melania of 2017 flashed smiles and waved around, displaying a more friendly persona to the crowds,” he explained. Melania’s face is naturally neutral. She doesn’t have an expressive demeanor in general and has previously been criticized for having short-lasting smiles, which she must have known.”

Honigman concluded: “This inauguration’s Melania was protected from criticism by hiding her expression behind a wide-brimmed hat so that she could keep her neutral expression with no issue.”

Donald and Melania also celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this week. Their star-studded wedding at Bethesda-By-the-Sea took place on January 22, 2005, and there can have been few better 20th anniversary presents than getting to move back into the White House together.

The couple shared several intimate moments together during Inauguration Day, and though Melania is used to being in the spotlight, one expert, behavioral scientist Abbie Maroño, claimed to have seen something others missed.

Donald Trump and Melania’s “awkward” interaction on Inauguration Day

Speaking to Newsweek, Maroño claimed that Melania’s actions indicated discomfort with public attention.

“First Lady Melania Trump’s choice of a wide-brimmed hat appeared to serve as a barrier, complicating a moment when President Trump attempted to kiss her, resulting in an awkward air kiss. This may have been a possible means to conceal her face, indicating discomfort with the public attention. The lack of eye contact, smiles, or hand-holding between the couple, suggesting discomfort,” she said.

“At the inaugural ball, President Trump and Melania participated in the traditional first dance. Initially, both appeared tense, but the atmosphere lightened when Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, along with military members, joined them on stage. This shift led to more relaxed interactions, with President Trump engaging warmly Melania smiling during the dance.”

As mentioned, Donald and Melania shared the first traditional dance as President and First Lady of the United States during the Inaugural Ball later on Inauguration Day. The couple had three inauguration balls to attend on the days surrounding Donald being sworn in, and the first one was the Commander-in-Chief ball.

Abbie Maroño claimed that the two had another ‘awkward’ moment. Renowned body language expert Mark Bowden noticed that Melania looked uncomfortable.

“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,” Bowden told the Irish Star.

What Melania whispered to her husband during Inauguration Day ball

“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 body language expert explained: “This shaky start leaves Trump leaning his full weight forward, while Melania manages to meet him cheek to cheek. With her wide-brimmed hat no longer serving as a barrier, the couple is closer than earlier in the day-though precariously close to the ear that once took a bullet.”

During another ball, the Liberty Ball, which was also arranged on Inauguration Day, a lip-reading expert claimed Donald whispered a heartfelt message in his wife’s ear. Jeremy Freeman spoke to the Mirror, revealing what Melania answered.

“Today is one we will never forget,” Melania said, according to Freeman, to which Donald responded, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight.”

Melania continued to express her support for her husband with the words, “I got you,” to which Trump, according to Jeremy Freeeman, responded, “We’ll see. Will you control it? Less tricky, less pushing away?”

The First Lady answered, “It’s a no,” and Trump said, “I hear you.”

A camel bit off its owner’s head after being left tied up in the hot sun all day.

Left tied up in the scorching heat all day, the camel attacked and killed its owner by biting off their head.

An Indian man who left his camel tied up in the heat all day lost his life because of it.

When he tried to untie the camel, it became aggressive, attacking him and biting off his head.

“The camel grabbed him by the neck, threw him to the ground, bit his body, and severed his head,” villager Thakara Ram told The Times of India.

It took around six hours and 25 people to finally control the camel.

Some villagers in Rajasthan said the camel had attacked the man, Urjaram, before.

Camels don’t usually attack people very often.

Camel attacks can be extremely violent and unexpected.

In January last year, a camel at a breeding farm in Texas killed two people by crushing them.

The previous fall, an American man who owned an animal sanctuary in Mexico was killed by a camel. It bit and kicked him, then sat on him until he suffocated.

Rescuers had to tie the camel to a truck to pull it away from the body. Some believe the camel was upset because it didn’t get its daily Coca-Cola that day.

A few months earlier, a similar attack happened in California when a camel attacked an elderly man the same way. However, he survived.

Camels are usually friendly animals that like to sniff and even play with people’s hair.

However, male camels can be aggressive and sometimes fight with females.

Even though they have big teeth, camels raised in captivity are usually bred to avoid biting.

Camels tend to kick in a circular motion, but experts say they rarely kick people.

Why new Justin Bieber photos are worrying fans

Pop icon Justin Bieber, now 30, has captivated millions of fans worldwide for over a decade. But lately, his latest photos have sparked serious concern among his devoted followers.

Once the ultimate teenage heartthrob, Bieber’s recent appearance has left many asking — what’s really going on?Disheveled look

Pop sensation Justin Bieber has always been known for his ever-changing looks, but his latest public appearances have left fans more worried than entertained. The 30-year-old singer has been spotted looking noticeably pale and gaunt, often dressed in oversized, shabby clothing, fueling speculation about his well-being.

What’s most unsettling for his loyal supporters is that this should be a joyful chapter in Bieber’s life — he recently became a father to baby Jack Blues, born in August 2024.

Yet, instead of exuding the glow of new parenthood, Bieber’s disheveled look has sparked concern, marking a stark contrast from his previous public image.

Bieber first shot to fame as a teen heartthrob, rocking his signature side-swept fringe while repeating the word “baby” in a way that made the whole world sing along. As his career skyrocketed, his style evolved — transitioning from skate park casual to something clearly influenced by a professional stylist.

In recent years, his wardrobe choices have often been quirky and unpredictable, at times even bizarre — but mostly in a way that felt harmless, even amusing. Now, however, fans fear those days are long gone.

In recent months, several photos of Justin Bieber have surfaced, sparking concern among fans about his well-being. Many believe he hasn’t looked his best, and his latest public appearances have only fueled speculation.

Wandering the streets of NYC in a bathrobe

Back in January, Justin was seen leaving a New York City studio alone, looking visibly exhausted. While he’s always been a fan of oversized clothing, his fashion choices took an unexpected turn this week when he was spotted wandering the streets of NYC in a bathrobe and stained Ugg boots.

The latest images have left fans genuinely concerned for his well-being.

In response to the photos, one person commented that it appeared he was going through a “difficult time,” while another fan noted that he looked like he was “struggling.” Some even speculated that he might be “suffering,” further fueling worries among his followers.

His latest appearances suggest something deeper may be going on, and the internet is buzzing with speculation. Is it just an experimental fashion phase? Exhaustion from fatherhood? Or is there something more serious behind Bieber’s drastic change?

Since Justin Bieber appeared to be his usual self in January 2024, sharing selfies on Instagram that showcased a healthy appearance, fans have been left puzzled by his recent transformation.

P. Diddy mentored Bieber

As the year progressed, many noticed he appeared noticeably thinner and more downcast. This shift in his demeanor coincided with the mounting struggles surrounding Diddy’s situation, which worsened over time, culminating in his arrest in September 2024. Fans can’t help but wonder if these events may have had an impact on Bieber’s well-being, prompting a wave of concern from his loyal followers.

Music mogul Diddy, readers will surely already know, is facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. According to a troublesome claim made by RadarOnline, Bieber is “haunted” by his past.

Recently, fans voiced concerns when Justin Bieber was seen looking fatigued and gaunt during a dinner outing with his wife, Hailey. The sighting sparked worries, and RadarOnline points out that this was around the same time old clips of Bieber and Diddy resurfaced online.

In one particularly notable clip, Diddy, who had mentored Bieber in his early years, proudly reminisced about spending “48 hours” with Bieber when he was just 15 years old. The re-emergence of these videos only seemed to intensify the growing concern for the pop star’s well-being.

“He’s having 48 hours with Diddy. What we’re doing, we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream … we’re gonna go full crazy,” he said.

Now sources are suggesting that Bieber’s links to Diddy may be adversely affecting the Baby singer. One individual, said to have worked in Bieber’s team for years, told PageSix: “Do I believe he was involved in some stupid s—? Yeah.

“He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive it.

“People took advantage of everything he did.”

While celebrities like Justin Bieber live their lives in the public eye, it’s easy to forget that they too are human, facing their own challenges behind the glam and flashing cameras.

Paparazzi and constant media attention can often overshadow the fact that, at the end of the day, they deserve the same kindness and understanding as anyone else. As fans, it’s important to remember the pressures that come with fame and offer support where we can — because, like all of us, they need it too.

10 warning signs your kidneys are failing

Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, balancing fluids, and keeping your body healthy.

However, kidney disease often develops silently, with symptoms appearing only in later stages. Recognizing the early warning signs can help you take action before serious complications arise.

1. Fatigue and Low Energy

When your kidneys aren’t functioning properly, toxins build up in your bloodstream, leading to persistent tiredness, weakness, and trouble concentrating. Anemia, which often accompanies kidney disease, can also leave you feeling drained.

2. Trouble Sleeping

A buildup of waste in the blood can make it difficult to fall and stay asleep. Additionally, people with kidney disease may suffer from sleep apnea, which disrupts breathing throughout the night and leads to poor rest, the National Kidney Foundation says.

3. Dry, Itchy Skin

Healthy kidneys regulate minerals and nutrients in your body. When they struggle to do their job, imbalances can cause dry, itchy skin, signaling underlying bone and mineral disorders related to kidney disease.

4. Frequent Urination

Feeling the urge to urinate more often, especially at night, can be a sign of issues. When the kidney filters are damaged, they can cause increased urine production, which may indicate early kidney disease.

5. Blood in Urine

Healthy kidneys filter waste while keeping essential blood cells in your body. If you notice blood in your urine, it could signal disease, infections, or even kidney stones. Never ignore this symptom.

6. Foamy Urine

Excessive bubbles or foam in your urine, similar to what you see when scrambling eggs, may indicate the presence of protein.

Protein leakage in urine is a sign that your kidneys aren’t filtering properly.

7. Swelling in the Feet and Ankles

When kidneys don’t remove excess sodium efficiently, fluid retention can occur, leading to swelling in your feet, ankles, and even hands. This is a common symptom of kidney disease and should be checked by a doctor.

8. Poor Appetite

A loss of appetite may seem minor, but it can be an early sign of kidney disease due to the buildup of toxins in the body. Nausea and an altered sense of taste often accompany this symptom.

9. Muscle Cramps

Electrolyte imbalances can lead to muscle cramps. Low calcium and imbalanced phosphorus levels may contribute to this uncomfortable condition.

10. Puffiness Around the Eyes

Persistent puffiness around the eyes can indicate protein leakage in urine, which suggests your kidneys may not be properly filtering waste. This can be an early sign of damage.

When to See a Doctor

If you experience any of these symptoms, especially more than one at a time, consult a healthcare professional. Early detection of problems can prevent further damage and improve your overall health.

Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can help protect you in the long run.
