Melania Trump recently had the honor of receiving the “Patriot of the Year” Award from Fox. Attending the event alone in New York, without her husband Donald Trump, seemed to give her an extra sense of confidence, according to a body language specialist.
On November 6, the prestigious Patriot Gala hosted by Fox was held at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville, New York. It was here that Melania Trump was presented with the “Patriot of the Year” award. During the event, she delivered an inspirational seven-minute speech to an enthusiastic audience.
In her address, the former first lady highlighted the “spirit of ambition” and encouraged Americans to “celebrate everyone who dares to think differently, for it is these courageous Americans who are the heartbeat of our civilization.”
“Daring to chase your dream is the American way. Innovation isn’t accidental here – it’s in our DNA,” Melania expressed. “In this country, innovation is a form of patriotism. But most innovators know it’s lonely when you are close to the edge of imagination. When you have a deep belief in your own power to create new realities. This is exactly where real change begins.”
Continuing with her theme, the Slovenian-born former model stated, “Every breakthrough starts with one person daring to imagine what’s never been done. Friends may call it unrealistic, and family may see it as ‘far-fetched’ – but the human spirit drives forward, turning vision into reality. One mind, one idea, one act of courage.”
While Donald Trump remained in Washington, D.C., hosting Central Asian leaders, Melania attended the gala alone in New York. Despite appearing without her husband, her solo attendance was perceived positively, according to a body language expert.
Body Language Expert Notes Melania’s Enhanced Confidence
Judi James, a renowned body language expert, spoke to the Daily Mail about Melania’s demeanor, stating that attending the event alone gave Melania a “boost” in confidence. She described Melania as addressing the audience “like a star in her own right.”
“If Donald’s absence from this event affected his wife’s mood at all, it was to boost rather than decrease her levels of visual confidence,” Judi James observed.
Melania’s choice of a formal portrait for her second term as the First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) depicted her with a commanding presence, similar to that of a CEO. Her power dressing, the assertive pose with her arms splayed at the top of a boardroom table, and a determined look reflected her business-minded approach.
Continuing her analysis, Judi James noted that there was an absence of any nervousness from Melania. According to the expert, Melania appeared as a woman who did not experience any feelings of being an imposter or merely a figure in Donald’s shadow while accepting the prestigious award.
“Right Person in the Right Spotlight”
Judi James further recognized that Melania’s style of communication differed in her husband’s absence. She remarked that Melania spoke in a “different” manner, more “spontaneous,” and with a touch of humor.
“She tends to stick to her script in a more formal style, but here she used her eyes for punctuation, and it was a much more entertaining and personality-based style than her earlier speeches in office,” observed Judi James. “She looked very much like the right person in the right time at the right place and in the right spotlight at this prestigious event.”
