Melania Trump has offered her thoughts on the future under her husband, Donald Trump’s, leadership following his victory in the US presidential election.
Despite polls indicating a close contest between Trump and Kamala Harris, it was the 45th president who emerged victorious.
Speaking at his campaign headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump claimed to have ‘made history’ after being declared the winner in key battleground states such as North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
“Every single day I will be fighting for you, with every single breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that children deserve,” he announced.
“And that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age for America.”
As he promised to ‘make America great again’, Trump expressed his gratitude to his wife, Melania, praising her for doing a ‘great job’ and ‘working very hard’.
With the former first lady set to return to the White House alongside Trump in January, she took to social media to share her expectations for the upcoming administration.
Melania stated: “The majority of Americans have entrusted us with this important responsibility.
“We will safeguard the heart of our republic – freedom. I anticipate the citizens of our nation rejoining in commitment to each other and rising above ideology for the sake of individual liberty, economic prosperity, and security.
“American energy, skill, and initiative will bring together our best minds to propel our nation forward forevermore.”
While Trump celebrated his victory in a speech in Florida, Melania stood proudly by his side.
Judi James, a body language expert, shared insights with Paddy Power Games, noting that Melania appeared ‘powerful’ and ‘confident’ during her appearance on stage.
“During [Trump’s] arrival on stage, he stepped out to pose, looking momentarily overwhelmed. While his right hand punched the air gently his face seemed puckered in a moment of inner emotion,” James observed.
“It was Melania, in a businesslike grey power suit and the towering Barron who flanked Trump exhibiting the body language signals of strength and support.”
Regarding Trump’s demeanor, James added: “Trump’s gesticulation and touch rituals with her gave the impression that he seeks support and strength from her rather than the other way round.
“While Trump opted to not bare his teeth in a smile, Melania was beaming with rounded cheeks of pride and delight and baring both upper and lower teeth in her smiles.”
