Rumored Incorrectly, Melania Trump's Expression Seeing Ivanka Turns Viral
Rumors about a feud between US First Lady Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump resurfaced after the two attended the 2020 Republican National Convention. A viral video shows Melania's 'cynical' facial expression after greeting her stepdaughter.
Ivanka Trump appeared on the final day of the 2020 Republican National Convention held on the South Lawn courtyard of the White House, Washington D.C., Thursday (27/8/2020) evening. The event was packed with supporters of President Donald Trump, who almost all did not wear masks and applied social distancing even though the COVID-19 crisis still hit the country.
Ivanka was present to give her father's nomination speech as a representative of the Republican Party to run again in the 2020 US presidential election. The 20-minute speech was then closed with Ivanka Trump welcoming her father and Melania Trump to the stage.
Accompanying Donald Trump out of the White House, Melania looked elegant in a lime Valentino green dress. Arriving at the stage, Melania was seen smiling when greeting Ivanka. However, the 50-year-old woman's expression drastically changed after Ivanka passed her.
This moment was caught on camera and ended up going viral on the internet. Reporting from NDTV, a video clip showing the look on Melania's face has been watched 5 million times on Twitter in three hours.
"Did Melania just give Ivanka a cynical face?" chirped a Twitter user. Others commented, "Melania doesn't seem to like Ivanka."

The moment occurred just a day after their infidelity was revealed by New York Magazine based on the book 'Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady' which will be released on September 1.
The book was written by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania's former friend and confidant. According to Stephanie's confession, Melania sees Ivanka as a threat who is always trying to get her out of the spotlight. Ivanka has also been named as a power-hungry woman in the White House.
As told by Stephanie, one time before Trump's inauguration day, Melania Trump made a special operation called "Operation Block Ivanka". Stephanie, who has experience as an event organizer while working at Vogue, was asked by Melania to arrange her seats in such a way so that the spotlight doesn't fall on the 'first daughter'.
"We are all tired and stressed. Yes, Operation Block Ivanka is very petty. Melania is behind this mission. However, Ivanka really shouldn't be the center of attention at her father's inauguration," said the woman who once worked on the table of celebrities at the MET Gala event. .
