Have you ever wondered what kind of marriage Donald and Melania Trump have? Though she continues to live in New York with their son, Barron, she is often seen with the alleged president on the weekends at his Mar-a-Lago estate. And she also participated in the rally held in Florida last Saturday, giving the invocation before Trump spoke.
But Madison Feller of Cosmopolitan.com watched the rally and saw something odd:
“(Y)ou can see that before Melania began the Lord’s Prayer, President Trump came over and touched her on the arm. As he does so, Melania seems to flinch and look away before saying ‘thank you’ and moving on — around the 11 second mark in the video below.”

If you watch the video, there can be no doubt that Mrs. Trump does indeed seem to flinch, as if the touch of her husband disgusts or frightens her.
Ever since Donald Trump first announced his campaign for the White House, rumors have persisted which suggest that Melania is unhappy in the marriage and “miserable” with her position as First Lady.
It’s also instructive to take another look at video from the inauguration. In it, Mrs. Trump appears miserable. When her husband turns to talk to her, she seems to force a smile. But the minute he turns away, her face falls into a frown once again:
This is not the face of a happy woman. I really feel bad for this woman..i can only imagine what personal hell… https://t.co/kNkmoA5iqW

All of this has set off a heated debate on social media:
Literally even the slightest touch by that garbage monster makes her flinch pic.twitter.com/iCLTRbKvdj

It's a warning squeeze. I'd venture to guess he doesn't like her getting more cheers than him.

Given what we know or suspect about Donald Trump–i.e. he’s a serial philanderer who has been married three times; he gets off on grabbing women on the genitals and even bragged about doing so; the fact that he’s obsessed with power and status–it’s not the least bit difficult to speculate on the misery which exists in this marriage.
If indeed Mrs. Trump is afraid of or disgusted by the mere touch of her husband’s hand, then clearly this man is just as much of a monster as we thought.
