Millions of people around the world watched the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States with great anticipation. The Liberty Inaugural Ball, where President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump performed a dance that sparked both praise and criticism on social media, was one of the evening’s highlights.
With the president’s arm around Melania’s waist, the couple stole the show as the orchestra performed a love tune. They moved elegantly to the music. Melania put her hand on her husband’s back in return and leaned close while they spoke softly. Jeremy Freeman, a lip-reading expert, saw that the couple had a brief but significant conversation. Donald allegedly said, “You’re right, I’ll learn, I’ll fight,” in response to Melania’s statement that “today is one we will never forget.” As they spoke, Melania reassured him, saying, “I got you,” to which Donald retorted, “We’ll see.” Will you be in charge of it? Less difficult, less resistance? With a stern “It’s a no,” Melania ended the conversation, and the president nodded in agreement.
Their chat wasn’t the only thing that made the event memorable; Melania’s outfit choice also garnered a lot of attention. Her stylist, Herve Pierre, created a gorgeous white gown with striking black embellishments that she wore. Her classic refinement was emphasized by the asymmetrical design, which was matched with a black choker adorned with a diamond broach. Herve shared on social media that he was grateful for the partnership and that Melania’s love of simple, eye-catching contrasts served as inspiration for the design.
Online responses to the couple’s dance were mixed. Some observers saw the scene as stiff and cold, expressing what they saw as an uneasy relationship between the Trumps. “Awkward,” one spectator commented. If you don’t see that, you’re lying. Some compared the dance to a staged show instead than an authentic festivity. However, not all comments were critical; many people thought the scene was adorable. One viewer commented, “So sweet,” which offered an alternative viewpoint to the remarks as a whole.
The First Couple attended three inaugural festivities that night, including the Liberty Ball. They had previously danced to the US Marine Band’s rendition of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” at the Commander-in-Chief Ball. Later, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance joined the Trumps on stage for a duet, adding to the evening’s joyous ambiance.
The Trumps concluded their first celebrations with the Starlight Ball, where the festivities peaked. In his trademark style, Donald spoke to the crowd with energy and passion, remarking on the event’s grandeur.
The entire evening reflected the formality, tradition, and grandeur of an inauguration celebration, even though reactions to their dance at the Liberty Ball were mixed. Some participants saw the occasion as a significant symbol of solidarity and hope, while others saw it only as a chance for criticism. Viewers were profoundly affected by the First Couple’s involvement in the sequence of events, regardless of their personal interpretations.
