Trump and Melania's awkward moment during military parade celebration revealed by lip leader; ‘I pushed my finger…'
After President Donald Trump delivered a brief statement to the crowd at his military parade in Washington, DC, on Saturday evening, he and First Lady Melania Trump experienced an awkward moment on stage.
This celebration, which was organised by Trump and Melania, commemorated the 79th birthday of the president and the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
Trump addressed the gathering following the procession of military weapons and service members, discussing the US military's rich history and the sacrifices made by warriors in numerous conflicts, according to the Irish Star.
Following their address, he and Melania were greeted with cheers before standing still and gazing straight ahead with minimal interaction.
According to a lipreader who watched Trump and Melania at Saturday's military parade, the First Lady seemed to take offense at something the President said about his conversation with the ceremony's featured troops.
Nicola Hickling, a lip reading expert, claims that Melania leans against Trump in an interesting moment, Irish Star reported.
Melania looked down at the marching soldiers and remarked, 'They're good.' Hickling claimed that when the duo saw each other, Trump replied, 'I pushed my finger on one of them.'
Melania, in a lighthearted response, said, 'You didn't do that,' the lip leader stated.
After saluting the soldier, Trump puts his hand on Melania's knee and remarked: 'Your right I never pushed my finger on them,' Hickling stated.

Earlier in the evening, social media users targetted Trump for wearing an orange tan that they described as "absolutely atrocious" for the parade.
They also pointed out Trump's strange farewell to the troops, telling them to 'have a good life.'
The military parade was held on Saturday amid a nationwide "No Kings" protest movement over Trump's use of federal troops in Los Angeles and his immigration crackdown.

Who is Arturo Gamboa? Armed man at Kings Day protest fired at by peacekeeper; bystander killed
AP A peacekeeper at a "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City opened fire on a man who raised a rifle at the crowd, but accidentally shot and killed a bystander, police said on Sunday. The incident happened on Saturday evening during nationwide "No Kings" protests, where demonstrators rallied against what they called president Donald Trump's authoritarian actions. While most protests remained peaceful, violence broke out in Salt Lake City when a man, identified as Arturo Gamboa, 24, pulled out a rifle near the protestors. According to Salt Lake City police chief Brian Redd, two men wearing neon green vests, believed to be part of the peacekeeping team, approached Gamboa with their handguns drawn. Witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle and moved towards the crowd. One of the peacekeepers then fired three shots, hitting Gamboa and a bystander, Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39. Ah Loo was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries. Gamboa, who was treated for minor injuries, was arrested and charged with murder. Police accused him of creating the dangerous situation that led to Ah Loo's death. The gunfire caused panic, forcing hundreds of protestors to flee, hide behind barriers and seek shelter in nearby buildings. Police recovered an AR-15 style rifle, a gas mask, and a backpack at the scene. Authorities are still investigating why Gamboa brought the rifle to the protest and how the peacekeepers were organised or trained for the event. In another incident in Riverside, California, a driver struck a woman participating in a separate "No Kings" demonstration and fled. The woman was hospitalised with serious injuries but is stable. Police are still searching for the driver. The Utah chapter of the 50501 Movement, one of the groups behind the protests, condemned Gamboa's actions and thanked first responders and their safety team for acting quickly. They did not respond to questions about the peacekeeping team's organisation or training.

'Sometimes they have to fight it out': Trump says Iran-Israel will fight before peace; offers to help
AP photo US president Donald Trump on Sunday called on Iran and Israel to "make a deal" as the two countries continue exchanging military strikes. However, he also suggested that fighting may continue before any agreement is reached. "I think it's time for a deal," Trump told reporters at the White House before leaving for Canada to attend the G7 summit. He added, "Sometimes they have to fight it out, but we're going to see what happens." WATCH: President Trump remarks on the Israel-Iran war, "there's a good chance there'll be a deal" The latest clashes between Iran and Israel mark a dangerous escalation in their long-standing conflict. For years, both sides have targeted each other through proxy groups and secret operations. But now, they are openly launching strikes against each other, raising fears of a wider war in the Middle East. The current round of fighting began on Friday, when Israel launched attacks inside Iran. The strikes reportedly killed senior military officers and nuclear scientists, and hit military bases, nuclear facilities, and residential areas. Trump declined to say whether he had asked Israel to hold back on further airstrikes. However, a senior US official told AFP that Trump had blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?
