After President Donald Trump and first lady Melania took to the inauguration ball yesterday, people have been itching to know what the couple whispered to one another.
As Trump took to office again and was sworn in (without placing his hand on the Bible), he and his wife of 20 years enjoyed their first dance on 20 January.
During his inauguration ceremony, 78-year-old Trump and Melania, 54, were joined by Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance and celebrated this new era of US presidency.
The couple attended three inaugural balls in one night, which began with a military-themed Commander-in-Chief Ball where they danced to a cover of Elvis Presley’s 'An American Trilogy' as people watched on.

They then attended the Liberty Ball and danced onstage with the entire Trump family, before going to the Starlight Ball.
In one clip taken during the Commander-in-Chief Ball, lip reader Jeremy Freeman told Tyla that Trump said to Melania: "Nobody let me down today."
Then, at the Liberty Ball, the first lady reportedly said to her husband: "Today is one we will never forget.”
He then replied: "You’re right there, I’ll learn I’ll fight."
According to Jeremy, Melania added: "I got you."
"We’ll see," Trump allegedly responded, adding: "Will you control it, unless it's tricky less pushing away."
"It's a no," Melania said and Trump replied: "I hear you."
"I waited for him until half an hour ago," Melania added. "But we can smile still."
As they engaged in their conversation, a body language expert from Spin Genie explained to Tyla what Melania was feeling during the important dace.
They said: “I think this first dance, this inaugural dance, he was leaning in towards her, holding her quite tightly, while she was leaning back as much as she could. She seems to go through the motions a lot.”
As for how she feels about her husband, or at least how she feels about being at the ball with her husband, it’s unusual.
The expert continued: “Certainly from the way she’s positioning herself, I don’t think she really wants to be there. She’s not the sort of person who likes to be in the limelight. If you zoom in, she’s almost arching her back away from him. They have a very strange dynamic.”
However, when it comes to her returning affection, it’s just not there.
This is because she rejects his advances or at least doesn’t reciprocate them back to him.
The body language expert continued: “There are signs of genuine affection from him to her, he tries to show genuine emotion. However, when he tries to hold hands with her, she doesn’t reciprocate.
“We do see moments where he is looking at Melania, seeking approval.
“To a large extent, she has a strong dynamic in this relationship, and is a strong force.”
While she’s certainly a powerhouse as she initially refused to give Trump her number when they first met, she’s also known to be a private person.
Trump has signed an order declaring there are only two genders - male and female - and that gender cannot be changed.
The policy reads: "Agencies will cease pretending that men can be women and women can be men when enforcing laws that protect against sex discrimination.
"These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality."
The order claims its aim is 'defending women from gender ideology extremism'.
Trump has now ordered the Gulf of Mexico to be called the Gulf of America - a policy which made Hillary Clinton laugh during his inauguration.
"President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American Civilization.” the executive order said.
Despite the order, it won't change how it is named globally.
The president says the World Health Organisation (WHO) mishandled the Covid-19 pandemic and is 'ripping off' the US, as well as complaining that the US has to pay 'unfairly onerous payments' in comparison to other member states.
The order states the US would leave the WHO in 12 months and stop funding it immediately.
Trump says he has a 'warm spot for TikTok' and has given the social media giant a 75-day extension in which to find a US buyer or face a nationwide ban.
The president says the Biden administration was guilty of 'trampling free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech'.
His executive order states that 'no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen' and will 'end censorship of protected speech'.
Trump has pardoned around 1,500 people involved in the January 6 Capitol insurrection in 2021 and issued six commutations.
Trump has has declared illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a 'national emergency' and plans to send US troops to help immigration agents.
The president has signed another order to prevent children of immigrants in the US illegally from having automatic citizenship.
Speaking at his inauguration, he said: "All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came."
Trump's order aims to ensure states that have the death penalty have enough legal injection drugs.
The order also states the Attorney General should seek the death penalty in cases involving the killing of a law enforcement office, as well as crimes 'committed by an alien illegally present in this country'.
He said capital punishment is an 'essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes'.
Trump has declared a national energy emergency and vowed to 'unleash American energy'.
The order will also reverse Biden's ban on drilling in Alaska; as Trump says the move means the US 'will be a rich nation again'.
"America is blessed with an abundance of energy and natural resources that have historically powered our Nation’s economic prosperity. In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens," the order states.
Trump's executive order says international drug cartels 'constitute a national-security threat beyond that posed by traditional organised crime'.
They'll now be reclassified as 'terrorist organisations'.
Federal employees have now been classified as political hires - a move which will likely make them easier to fire.
Trump also aims to reduce the size of federal government and has declared a federal hiring freeze.
