Does Barron know Melania doesn't like Trump? Video shows another snub as FLOTUS refuses to hold hands with Prez

There have been many instances where Melania has snubbed Trump in public appearances by refusing to hold his hand

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have an arguably mysterious relationship, snippets of which they often show in their body language and gestures. The couple has been married since 2005 and has Barron Trump as their son, who is the youngest of all the children of the President. It seems like the enigmatic aura around the couple has always garnered news with statement gestures like hand-holding where Melania has many times rejected to hold her husband’s hand in an evasive way. This time too, she has done something similar. A video is doing rounds on the internet showing how Melania has turned down holding Trump’s hand when the couple with their son Barron arrived at Joint Base Andrews from Morristown, New Jersey, on August 17. 

In the video, the three are getting down from their plane on a windy day, where Melania wearing a Brown skirted dress is trying hard to hold her dress with her left hand and support her handbag. Meanwhile, she declined Trump’s urge to hold hands in a snubbing way as captured in the video. Behind them is Barron Trump, who as per people might have an idea about the presumably distraught relationship between his parents. “She’s voting for Biden,” wrote artist Derek DelGaudio. 

This has puzzled people yet again and brought the couple’s relationship into the spotlight with a new tangent that maybe Barron Trump knows about it. 

Plenty of ‘no support’ gestures 

Indeed, there have been many instances where Melania has snubbed Trump in public appearances by evading to hold his hand or through awkward public display of affection at events. A 2019 picture of Trump walking with Melania during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House shows that Trump extended his hand to Melania and she reluctantly accepted with unhappiness as reported in the Insider. In 2017, when Trump arrived in Washington for a public event, he extended his hand to Melania only to feel insulted as she, after holding it for a second, loses the grip. A user tweeted, “A very short story about two people holding hands”. 

Similarly in their 2018 video from Rome, after waving the crowd, a user tweets, “Melania deploys a strategic & well-timed hair move to avoid the tiny hand of a perv as Trump arrives in Rome.” 

There have been many stories of the controversial relationship between the two. In a new biography on Melania, ‘The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania', written by Mary Jordan, a former housekeeper, described that the couple used to live in an isolated way in the house with separate rooms. “It’s a strange marriage,” said the housekeeper. “I never saw them like a normal family, sitting together at a table, eating together, talking. Never, never, never. They spend time in the same place but they don’t interact,” said one.

When people have questioned Melania on her relationship, she has declined the allegations of a tensed marriage like in the 2018 ABC News interview where she brushed aside allegations of her husband's infidelity. “I'm a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do," she iterated protectively showing her love for Barron Trump too. She again silenced the media on allegations that she is a ‘victim’ in her marriage in an interview given to CNN’s Anderson Cooper. She said, “People, they don’t really know me, people think and talk about me, like, ‘Oh, Melania, oh, poor Melania.’ Don’t feel sorry for me” just after ‘Access Hollywood’ tapes became public.

Twitter puzzled after Trump snubbed

Though the couple's marriage is still contestable as per many media reports and videos often validating their tensed relationship, the internet this time is assuming that Barron knows about Melania not liking Trump. On the other hand, many notice that she doesn’t want her skirt/dress to blow in the wind so was trying to hold her and could not hold her hand. Others assume that she is in an "abusive" relationship as Trump seems to be extra angry lately. “I believe that AND I believe he's abusive. What I just watched is a woman who gets abused by her spouse, ” one wrote in speculation.

“Nope, she is not. These takes might be fun but I think she doesn’t want her skirt/dress to blow in the wind.”

Another retorted, “Does anyone know when this was? He seems to be extra angry lately. There are naked photos of her all over the web so I don't think she's that afraid of a leg shot. She looks like she wanted to jump over the side. He must be a bear with his polls down lately.” 

Many feel that Melania loathes Trump's touch. “Even racist birther Melania doesn’t want to be touched by him. I must admit, I feel bad for Barron.” 

Others have noticed her body language over many years saying she literally slaps his hand away but maybe this time it was unintentional. One tweeted, “I've seen plenty of times when she literally slaps his hand away. this time I see her holding her dress, trying to use the hand on the rail, changing her mind, using her hand with the purse, then trying to flip the hair that's blowing in her face. this is about wind, not trump.”

While the internet is clamoring, one can only never fathom the mystery behind their marriage and whether Barron notices or knows about it.
