Body language expert reveals three reasons why he thinks Melania has ‘grown frustrated’ as Trump’s First Lady

Melania Trump has drawn attention following the release of the trailer for her upcoming documentary, Melania, where she is widely described as appearing confident and self-assured. The film arrives as she reportedly grows tired of remaining quiet while President Donald Trump dominates public attention.

The Amazon-produced documentary follows the First Lady during the period leading up to Trump’s January 2025 inauguration. It offers viewers a behind-the-scenes look at her role during the transition into the White House.

According to the synopsis, the film captures Melania as she manages inauguration preparations, handles the challenges of moving into the White House, and helps relocate her family back to Washington, D.C. The documentary is reportedly part of a $40 million deal.

Set for a worldwide theatrical release on January 30, 2026, the trailer has sparked discussion, particularly regarding Melania’s demeanor. A body language expert analyzed the footage and shared insights into her presentation.

Speaking for OLBG, expert Darren Stanton said the trailer portrays Melania as a strong, confident individual. He suggested she has become frustrated with being viewed as a quiet presence beside her husband while he commands the spotlight.

Stanton highlighted her upright posture, composed movements, elegant clothing, open gestures, and steady eye contact as signs of confidence. He also noted her calm, controlled voice as an indicator of self-assurance.

The expert added that the documentary appears to be a strategic effort to establish Melania’s personal brand and identity beyond her husband’s presidency, signaling her intention to define herself independently.
