Donald Trump’s Nickname for Wife Melania Revealed by Lip Reader

During the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade on June 14, 2025 — which also marked Donald Trump’s 79th birthday — a brief, affectionate exchange between Donald and Melania Trump caught attention after a lip reader claimed Trump whispered “Thank you, baby” as Melania touched his back before taking her seat. Another lip-reading expert also noted a light moment where Melania complimented the marching troops, and Trump jokingly responded, “I pushed my finger on one of them,” to which she replied, “You didn’t do that.” The couple shared a few gentle gestures throughout the event, including touches and brief hand-holding, suggesting some warmth between them.

However, body language expert Judi James offered a more nuanced take, noting tension in Melania’s rigid posture and controlled movements. She contrasted this with Trump’s more casual demeanor — unbuttoned jacket, slouched posture, and relaxed gestures — which, James suggested, may have been a calculated move to distance himself from accusations of acting like a dictator. Despite this, his enthusiasm seemed to grow as the event progressed, standing in salute and interacting more energetically. The parade honored the Army’s legacy, and Trump’s speech emphasized soldiers’ bravery and enduring commitment to defending the nation.
