Melania Trump has been seen frowning again and briefly rolling her eyes when she appeared in public alongside her husband.
The former first lady and former US President Donald Trump attended the World Series baseball game between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros on Saturday, where she stood with her husband and smiled at the crowd.
Six-second videos of the scene, which have gone viral on social media, show Melania smiling broadly before turning around and briefly rolling her eyes in apparent exasperation.
She is also seen letting out what appears to be a sigh, as Trump continues to smile and wave to fans.
A clip of the video shared by the official Twitter account of Meidas Touch, a political action committee, has accumulated tens of thousands of “likes.”

The former first lady’s scowl has also given social media users more material to criticize the former president.

“Is it me or does Melania hate seeing Trump possibly even more than the rest of us? That is something that you can not stop seeing, “wrote a user on Twitter.

Entertainment and pop culture expert Mike Sington shared the video, saying: “Look at the contempt and disgust Melania gives Trump when he walks away from him, in their first public appearance together since April. In fact, it’s so delicious, look at it over and over again.”
In the game, Trump was also seen performing the infamous “Tomahawk chop,” which has been branded “racist” and “dehumanizing” toward indigenous people since it became popular nearly 30 years ago.
This was one of the couple’s first notable public appearances after Trump left the White House and moved to their Palm Beach Florida home.
Melania’s frown has sparked memories of other instances of her public displays of apparent discontent directed at her husband. Some of these had started from the day Trump entered the White House in 2016.
The former first lady has been seen pulling her hand away from her husband and even separating from him during press photo sessions while the former presidential partner was on diplomatic visits.
Various reports said that Melania has been “bitter and cold” to her husband after leaving the White House. He has spent most of his time relaxing at a spa in Mar-A-Lago and visits it twice a day, according to reports.
“She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa [again] and has dinner with Donald on the patio,” a person familiar with her schedule revealed to CNN.
