Various sleazy stories were bound to be triggered by the presidential inauguration. When the hand holding the pen of US history proceeds to create a new chapter, all eyes were on Capitol Hill on January 20, as Donald Trump was sworn in ahead of his second term as president.

There were a lot of conjecture and moments that were worthy of becoming viral on the internet. Melania Trump and Donald Trump were involved in one such instance. The first lady appeared to “turn her face” away from her husband when he neglected to kiss her at the inauguration.

Prior to his all-important speech, given immediately after he took his oath of office, Trump and Melania arrived for the traditional church service that marks the start of the inauguration and the official end of the outgoing administration.

Trump seemed to attempt to kiss his wife in front of the cameras, which would have been an unusual display of public affection. But Melania, who was wearing a striking hat that obscured most of her face, turned her head, making her husband’s attempt unsuccessful. It goes without saying that the incident prompted a wide range of online hypotheses and remarks, with individuals debating whether Melania’s action was justified. Was this the first woman to purposefully move her face away from her husband’s kiss? Or was it really a chance event that transpired in front of the world?

Judi James, a body language expert, tried to clarify the situation by sharing her opinions on what the “dodge” would mean. She told Paddy Power that Donald Trump arrived at the inauguration event “with a slow alpha presence” and a “mouth shrug smile to suggest a sombre, serious approach to the job.” James went on to say that Donald “gently” took Melania’s hand “in a romantic, hand-linking gesture that would normally be seen at a wedding ceremony” when he arrived.

Melania dodges kiss

She went on: “He then leant in to plant a kiss on his wife and for a moment it looked as though he was going for a lip-to-lip kiss.

“Melania leant towards her husband to reciprocate but she also turned her face to instigate a cheek kiss rather than the mouth variety.”

James labeled it a ‘heart-stopping moment’ that can be interpreted ‘as though their synchronicity might be out of kilter’.

The first lady’s choice of clothing was questioned by others online, who described her appearance as that of a “mob wife at a funeral” and “Dark Maga.” She wore a high-necked dress and a dark boater hat that cast shadows over her face.

According to rumours, Melania will not live in the White House full-time during her husband’s second term in office. Instead, she would divide her time between Washington and New York, where she and Donald’s son, Barron, are currently enrolled in school.

Donald Trump’s promises

As for Donald, his inauguration speech was about as action-packed and weighted with as many lofty promises as one might expect. Among his litany of bold pledges, Trump pledged to tackle immigration on Day 1, stating “I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out.

“I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”

Trump also promised to investigate possible pardons for many of the rioters who participated in the January 6, 2021, uprising at the Capitol and to make secret government documents, such as those pertaining to the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr., public.

Along with cutting federal financing for schools teaching so-called “inappropriate” subjects, the incoming president also expressed his desire to abolish birthright citizenship, which may be challenging to do because it is enshrined in the constitution. According to NPR, Trump declared, “I will sign a new executive order on day one to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity.”
