Social Media Reacts
The moment has been interpreted differently across political lines. Trump’s supporters dismissed it as a harmless, funny occurrence during a high-profile event, while critics used it to reignite discussions about the couple’s relationship, which has often been a topic of public speculation.
A Historic Inauguration
At age 78, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president after defeating outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. This victory marks his return to the White House after his initial term as the 45th president. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, will serve as Vice President.
Melania Trump, always a standout with her fashion statements, once again captured the public’s eye, turning an ordinary inauguration moment into a viral sensation.
