Lip reader reveals 'what Donald Trump whispered to Melania' during first dance at inaugural ball

A lip reader has given their take on what Donald Trump whispered to Melania during their first dance at his inaugural ball yesterday (20 January).

During his inauguration ceremony, 78-year-old Trump and Melania, 54, were joined by Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance.

Trump, who is the first person convicted of a felony to assume the presidency, wore a tuxedo while the first lady donned a white strapless gown with black line detailing.

The couple attended three inaugural balls in one night, starting off at the military-themed Commander-in-Chief Ball where they danced to a cover of Elvis Presley’s 'An American Trilogy'.

They then headed to the nearby Liberty Ball, where they danced onstage with the entire Trump family, before going to Union Station for the Starlight Ball to round off the evening.

"We needed three because we have such support," Trump told the crowd at the Liberty Ball which took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

And in one clip taken during the Commander-in-Chief Ball, lip reader Jeremy Freeman told Tyla that Trump said to Melania: "Nobody let me down today."

The expert also analysed another clip taken during their dance at the Liberty Ball.

"Today is one we will never forget," the first lady reportedly said to her husband, prompting him to reply: "You’re right there, I’ll learn I’ll fight."

According to Jeremy, Melania then assured: "I got you."

"We’ll see," Trump is said to have responded, adding: "Will you control it, unless it's tricky less pushing away."

"It's a no," Melania said while Trump assured: "I hear you."

"I waited for him until half an hour ago," Melania added. "But we can smile still."

Elsewhere in the day, Trump made some pretty bizarre comments about Melania’s feet during his post-inauguration speech.

He shared an exchange he had with his wife during the day, saying: "I have a first lady who has been incredible.

"I shouldn't say this. I'm going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are absolutely aching. You know, those heels."

He continued to explain that he and Melania 'thought they were leaving' before someone came up to him and asked him to 'say hello' to some of his other fans.

According to the Trump, Melania said: "Darling, I love you so much, but my feet are killing me."

"I said, 'Honey, let me just see how far it is'," he continued to recall, explaining he was informed the walk was 'maybe four or 500 yards'.

"That's five football fields," Trump declared. "I said, 'Can you make it?'"

He then revealed exactly what Melania's response was to the situation: "She said, 'We're going to make it. No matter what, we're going to make it because we have to go'."

The crowd then erupted into a chorus of cheers following the president's anecdote.

All the executive orders Donald Trump has signed so far

Policy recognising only 'two genders'

The president signed an order which will make it an official policy that there are only 'two genders'.

The policy reads: "Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination.

"These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality."

The order will also bring to an end 'wasteful' government programmes which promote diversity and inclusivity, as well as 'defending women from gender ideology extremism'.

Free speech

The president accused the previous administration of 'trampling free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech' and vowed to restore freedom of speech.

The order states it will 'ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen' and will 'end censorship of protected speech'.

Leaving the World Health Organisation

The president accused the organisation of fumbling the COVID-19 pandemic and said the US would no longer be 'ripped off' by it.

While signing a document to have the US leave the health agency, Trump said: "World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore.”

TikTok ban

As expected, Trump signed an executive order which hits pause on the US' ban of the popular app, allowing time for an 'appropriate course forward'.

“I guess I have a warm spot for TikTok that I didn’t have originally,” he said.

January 6 pardons

Trump's loss in the 2020 election led to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in turn resulting in the arrests of a number of Trump supporters.

And as anticipated, the president has wasted no time in issuing pardons for offenders. Trump said he's pardoned around 1,500 people and issued six commutations.

Immigration

Trump has issued a slew of immigration-related policies during his first day back in the White House as he declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency.

Trump has already gotten started on reversing several Biden-era immigration orders and has plans to send US troops to help immigration agents and restrict refugees.

The president has also got the wheels in motion to prevent children of immigrants in the US illegally from having citizenship.

Speaking at his inauguration, he said: "All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came."

Restoring the death penalty

Calling capital punishment an 'essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes', Trump signed an order which will ensure states have enough lethal injection drugs for executions.

"The Attorney General shall pursue the death penalty for all crimes of a severity demanding its use," the order says.

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico

Following through on his promise during a press conference earlier this month, Trump has now ordered the Gulf of Mexico to be called the Gulf of America.

"President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization,” the executive order said.

Despite the order, it won't change how it is named globally.

Energy policy

Trump has vowed to 'unleash American energy', promising to export US energy globally as he signed the order amid what he describes as a 'national energy emergency'.

"America is blessed with an abundance of energy and natural resources that have historically powered our Nation’s economic prosperity. In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens," the order states.

The order will also reverse Biden's ban on drilling in Alaska as Trump declared America 'will be a rich nation again'.

Cost of living

In the order, Trump vowed to issue 'emergency price relief' to Americans aimed at lowering housing prices and availability and creating 'employment opportunities for American workers'.

Trump will also 'eliminate harmful, coercive “climate” policies that increase the costs of food and fuel'.

Drug cartels

Trump has said drug cartels will now be classified as terrorist organisations.

"International cartels constitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organised crime," the orders says.

Federal workers

Federal employees have now been classified as political hires - a move which in theory would make them easier to fire.

Trump also declared a federal hiring freeze which will reduce the size of federal government.
