The video is definitely concerning
The online discourse surrounding Melania Trump’s happiness has run the gamut from joke to genuine concern, but red flags were raised everywhere after a video surfaced of the First Lady noticeably flinching as she’s touched by her husband.
Melania visibly recoils as Trump comes up behind her at a rally in Melbourne, and it has many viewers vocalizing worry for what they perceive as a potential sign of abuse.
It’s definitely troubling to watch her sharp intake of breath and pause as she recovers from being taken by surprise.
Some pointed out that it wasn’t the first recoil by the First Lady.
Whatever the case may be, we hope everything’s OK with Melania and her cringe was nothing more than a benign startle.
