Incumbent First Lady Melania Trump made a dazzling appearance on Fox & Friends Friday morning - and according to a body language expert, she has a new 'air of relaxed confidence' about her.
Melania appeared on the show for an extensive interview for the first time since her husband, Donald Trump, won the election, and spoke about how proud she was of her 18-year-old son, Barron Trump.
'He is a grown young man, I'm very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving advice to his father,' she said.
'He brought in so many young people he knows his generation,' she added.
The former model sat comfortably on the edge of the couch, sporting a long, houndstooth print skirt and black sweater, and looked quite relaxed. And according to body language expert Judi James, Melania might have a different sentiment toward her husband's second term as President than the first time around.
'Her overall pose suggests an air of relaxed confidence that she seemed to acquire during and after the launch of her book when she appeared as a star name in her own right rather than just as wife of the President,' James told DailyMail.com exclusively about Melania's appearance this morning.
'Some of the rigidity had gone from her body language and her smile looks richer, more ready and more natural,' James continued about her interview.
'Her hands are gently folded in her lap here, signaling higher levels of confidence...'
And some of it may be due to her son Barron who is now a student at New York University's Stern School of Business. 'She seems to be enjoying what might actually feel like the power of a new double act with her son Barron that leaves her less dependent on her double act with her husband,' James told DailyMail.com.
During the segment Melania also talked about her son's recent viral moment. Last month Barron Trump broke the internet as a clip went viral on TikTok...
'I like my suitcase,' Barron said...
While Melania didn't directly address the viral video...she did reference it...James explained: 'Melania's body language here suggests pride in her son but also...'
