There’s a lot said about Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage, most of it insulting and cruel.
People who hate the president can’t believe anyone could love him.
At best, they regard his wife with pity, as the prisoner of a loveless marriage.
“Inside the Trump marriage: Melanie’s burden,” “The Sad Truth,” “Dark Secrets” are typical headlines.
“#SaveMelania” memes trended online as Vanity Fair fantasized she would divorce her husband and become a feminist icon.
Yet those who attended the state dinner for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday tell a very different story.
They say the affection between the first couple is genuine, demonstrative and mutually respectful behind the scenes.
“It’s a real marriage, very affectionate,” said one Australian official who observed it up close and personal during the three-day state visit.
In press conferences Friday, the president took time out from declaring he could bomb Iran any time to lavish praise on his wife for her “great job” planning that night’s elegant Rose Garden soirée.
During the dinner, when Trump stood to toast Morrison, the president again paid tribute to his wife.
“I want to express my gratitude to America’s magnificent first lady for this totally exquisite evening. Thank you very much. You worked very hard on this … Great job, really great job, honey.”
Then, when the dinner was over, around 11 p.m., after the Trumps had farewelled their last guests and thought nobody was watching, stragglers who turned around on their way out the door glimpsed a spontaneous intimate moment: a husband and wife clinched in tight embrace, he whispering in her ear, she leaning in with a smile.

Thanks for posting!!
It’s rare to find a kind word about the Trumps these days! :)
Got that right!!!!!
Yes. Thanks for posting this rarity. Maybe could have been in Breaking News.
Good article.
One of the high crimes of the Trump deranged syndrome of our day is the media’s ignoring of the beautiful and graceful and brilliant First Lady - and of their love for each other.
Thanks for posting this.
My wife and I noticed, shortly after the inauguration, the Trumps were somewhere in the White House and Melania reached down very subtlety for Trump’s hand and missed. A split second later he had put his hand in hers.
Neither one looked down or around and kept right on doing what they were doing, then looked at each other with these little grins, like they were getting away with something. Totally adorable and totally loving.
The next week, the press was running with the “abused wife” thing.
Our “free press” is largely diseased. Nice to see an exception.
The Clintons *LITERALLY* FAKED such photo-ops (there was a famous one of them on a beach the weekend BEFORE the Lewinsky story broke) and the media cooperated with it.
And every time they did it, they looked like a pair of posing wax dummies.
Because you CAN’T FAKE legitimate affection. (Well, MAYBE The Rapist could - he was a very good actor for the illiterate masses - but the SHREW - NEVER....)

DITTO!!
Who could NOT be in love/awe of her 24/7? He’s one lucky, lucky man!
I’ve read that it took him a very long time to win her over, proving that she’s pretty darn smart, too!
It took Beau five years to win me over, uproot my LIFE and agree to hitch my star to his wagon. And I’m hardly a long, leggy GODDESS who can speak 5 languages. I DO speak hunting dog, cat and mule though; I’m a great cook and my butchering skills ARE second to none. ;)
You know, just for comparison so no one mistakes me for our lovely Melania, LOL! (I crack myself UP!)
We are SO BLESSED to have them in OUR White House!
Four More Years! Four More Years! MAGA! KAG! :)
There’s no doubt in my mind that they are 100% a TEAM. :)
