You rarely see Melania Trump like this: “Really happy” - Netz scoffs at her relief

Donald Trump's presidency is history.

And Melania Trump has a surprise in store: a smile.

The former first lady was seldom seen so relieved.

Was it even a double?

• Donald Trump's presidency has been

  history

  since January 20, 12 noon local time (6 p.m. CET)

  .

• Melania Trump

  looked extremely happy at a farewell ceremony - the network scoffed

  (see first report).

• Quickly came to rumors it could be a

  double of the ex-First Lady

  act

  (see Update January 22, 15:30)

  .

Update from January 22, 3:30 p.m.:

While the Trump children fought back tears at their father's farewell ceremony, his wife Melania looked downright relaxed.

She attended the event with a smile and then got off the plane in Florida in a colorful summer dress.

Melania Trump

did not appear in the photos

like someone downcast

to vacate

her position as

first lady

.

In the social networks, numerous Twitter users scoffed at the fact that they had never seen the 50-year-old so happy

(see first report)

.

That could be one of the reasons why an old rumor that has

grown up around his wife

since

Donald Trump's presidency was

revived.

Wasn't it Melania at all but a double?

The black sunglasses that the ex-first lady wore despite the overcast sky and an allegedly varying body size seemed to some Twitter commentators: proof enough inside.

“Doesn't

look like

her at all,” was one of the numerous tweets that can be found under the hashtag “

#FakeMelania

”.

Perhaps observers were simply irritated

to see

Melania Trump

smile.

A rare sight

in the presence of her husband

Donald Trump

.

Melania Trump's time as first lady is over: Donald's wife looks relaxed and smiles

First report from January 21, 2 p.m.:

Washington - Rarely has one seen such a relaxed

Melania Trump

publicly

.

It

was an open secret

that the former first lady was not particularly happy about the role that her husband

Donald Trump gave

her

.

At least the so-called

Melania tapes

, in which the otherwise reserved Melania

let

her anger

run free

over the “damned” Christmas decorations in the

White House

, showed how dissatisfied the 50-year-old was in Washington.

But now

Donald Trump's time as US President is officially over

.

Jill Biden, Joe Biden's wife, will take on Melania Trump's role in the future.

And she is obviously more than happy about it.

In the photos of the Trumps as they leave for the last White House, one thing immediately catches the eye.

The

relaxed smile Melania Trump

.

Because that was seldom seen in Donald Trump's four-year presidency.

And actually never in the presence of her husband.

But in the pictures you can see a completely different Melania.

Former First Lady: Melania Trump seems happy that Donald Trump's presidency is over

While the

Trump children

fight back tears when they say goodbye to their father - perhaps also because of their own political future -

Melania Trump

looks

like she can't wait to leave town.

Insiders had previously reported that the first lady at the time just wanted to go home.

At home, this is apparently currently the

Mar-a-Lago

residence

in Palm Beach, Florida.

Even if the local neighborhood doesn't seem particularly happy about this decision.

But not only

Melania Trump

is apparently happy to have left the White House.

According to a CNN poll, this is the

most unpopular first lady ever

.

47 percent of those surveyed had a bad impression of Melania Trump.

The average popularity rating of a first lady before the Trump era is 71 percent.

A clear difference.

Melania Trump leaves Washington: Social media riot about how happy she looks

Democratic politician

Deon Tedder

, in the House of Representatives for the state of

South Carolina

, tweeted, “I've never seen Melania smile so much.

She looks really

happy

to leave

the White House

. ”It wasn't just the Democrats who noticed that.

Quick were

Twitter

,

Instagram

and

TikTok

mediated full photos by Melania Trump, the same message.

A change of outfit during the

flight from Washington to Florida also

seems to speak for itself.

When Melania Trump leaves the plane, it can be seen that she has exchanged her previous, strict, black outfit for a colorful dress.

I've never seen Melania smile so hard before.

She genuinely looks happy to be leaving the White House.

- Rep. Deon Tedder (@deon_tedder) January 20, 2021

In a video that is circulating, the

Trump couple

can be seen

at the airfield in Palm Beach

.

Donald Trump waves at the cameras and stops - Melania looks briefly in the direction of the reporter: inside, seems to be considering and then continues without a reaction.

“If 'I don't have to do this crap anymore' were a person,” comments a Twitter account.

Others join in, one person writes on TikTok: "Melania is rushing to court to get this divorce."

Donald and Melania Trump are leaving for Florida - farewell with not self-written thank you cards

In an official statement, the ex-first lady said earlier that the role was

"the honor of her life"

.

Yet another detail makes it clear how little she really cared about it.

As reported by the US broadcaster CNN, with reference to internal sources, she had someone else write her handwritten thank you cards to her staff.

Handwritten, personal words to staff: Inside the

White House

are traditionally the job of a first lady.

But it is not the first tradition that Melania Trump breaks with when handing over office to the Bidens.

The hashtag

#FreeMelania was

trending at the

beginning of Donald Trump's tenure

.

Even then, observers from inside the White House noticed how unhappy she was with her role.

"Melania looks so happy during this exit speech and makes me giggle.

Her husband is broken and I think this is the first time I've really seen her smile, ”tweeted a user appropriately.
