Liberal media always tries to paint the worst picture of President Donald Trump, whatever the facts might be. 

We’ve seen all kinds of false spin about him over the years. 

Some on the left and in the media spread a lot of nonsense about an exchange between Trump and the First Lady on Marine One after his speech at the United Nations in New York City. They spoke about “finger-waving.” Some characterized it as an “argument.” 

Idiots are trying to make something out of nothing. Trump asks Melania which tie to wear, mainstream media reports: ‘Domestic drama!’ …

Here’s a sample:

How do you know it’s “tense” if you don’t even know what’s being discussed? Trump is always pointing his finger when he’s talking. In the story, they claimed that when they got off the helicopter, they looked “tense” — but they were holding hands.

The Daily Beast is daily trash. 

All you can really say about it with just that look is that Trump is talking animatedly, and she’s responding in an engaged way. 

But as with any news “reports” like this about Trump, I talk about the “48 Hour Rule.” 

Wait 48 hours, and it will be debunked, because it’s generally nonsense. 

So, of course, turns out that this exchange wasn’t what the media would have liked it to be, according to a lip reader. It sounds like he was ticked about the escalator incident and other issues at the UN that we reported, not at her. 

“From my interpretation, I don’t think Donald Trump was having a go at Melania Trump — but at the shenanigans at the UN,” forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, who has testified as an expert witness in UK court cases, told the Daily Mail.

The lip reader believes that Melania said Trump “just continued” when the escalator suddenly shut down while they were on it.

“It was unbelievable. How can you do that?” Freeman believes the commander-in-chief replied.

“Donald, look at me,” she then tells him before they get off the helicopter and walk across the lawn hand in hand.

Sounds like she was offering some calming support. He already said he was upset that she could have fallen because of how suddenly it stopped. She could have been hurt. 

Another lip reader had more of the conversation. 

A second British lip reader, Nicola Hickling, similarly believes Trump was being protective of Melania in the moment caught on the helicopter.

“I can’t forgive them, they tried to hurt you,” Trump said to his wife at one point on the helicopter, Hickling told the Daily Mail.

“We can’t do this, we should stay safe, you’re not safe,” she replied.

The president then responded: “They’re done. We must challenge them,” according to Hickling.

So if the lip reading is accurate, he wasn’t mad at her — he was upset about what happened. And it sounds like he was very concerned about her — the opposite of what the liberal media was trying to pitch about the exchange. 

Additionally, as Real Clear Politics’ Susan Crabtree observed, that left Trump a sitting duck stuck on that escalator for that moment, when we’ve already seen people trying to target him. And the Secret Service did not crowd around him in that moment. So it’s not just about whether UN staffers were trying to get back at him, which is disturbing by itself. There was a report prior to the event that they might stop the escalator to get back at him for cutting money from the budget.
