Lip Readers Decode Chilling Change Caught Between Melania & President Trump | JP
Any time the President is onboard either Air Force One or Marine One, cameras are rolling.
Generally, the only thing they capture is the majestic moment the leader of the free world comes and goes Batman style — or more along the lines of his cover persona, Bruce Wayne.
The footage usually looks something like this clip shared by the White House a few months ago…
This is Marine One coming in for a daylight landing on the White House grounds.
It really is an incredible thing to behold, but not particularly news worthy in and of itself:

But sometimes, the camera catch something that might be a little more important than just a takeoff or landing.
That was the case Wednesday night as the President and Melania arrived back at the White House for a nighttime landing aboard the official Presidential chopper, dubbed Marine One.
The footage reveals a lively discussion, and rumors have swirled that they may have been having a heated argument.
Here’s a clear version of the footage currently going viral as shared by The Independent on YouTube:
That’s far too much finger pointing, head shaking, and emphatic forward-leaning to be dismissed as just a casual conversation of no import.
As always, context matters.
To begin with, the pair had just returned from New York City; the United Nations Headquarters to be exact.
And if you’ve paid any attention to the news surrounding President Trump’s appearance at the UN on Tuesday, the day before this conversation took place, then you already know the Trump’s were met with one suspicious event after another at the UN Headquarters.
Yes, context matters — but it doesn’t hurt to put a team of lip readers on the case, either.
Indeed, a pair of professional lip readers have revealed that the chilling content of that conversation lines up perfectly with the contextual escapades the President and his wife endured prior to the conversation in question.
Both experts agreed that what was caught on film was less of an argument, and more of an emotionally charged conversation about THREATS to the Presidential couple, as reported by the New York Post:
What appeared to be a fervent, finger-wagging row between President Trump and his wife Melania caught on camera outside the White House was actually an animated discussion about the escalator breaking down when they arrived at UN headquarters, according to lip readers.
While many online have speculated it reveals a dispute between the pair — similar to French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife caught tussling as they got off a plane earlier this year — experts believe the conversation was about the viral escalator incident at UN headquarters in Manhattan the day before.
“From my interpretation, I don’t think Donald Trump was having a go at Melania Trump — but at the shenanigans at the UN,” forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, who has testified as an expert witness in UK court cases, told the Daily Mail.
“It was unbelievable. How can you do that?” Freeman believes the commander-in-chief replied.
“Donald, look at me,” she then tells him before they get off the helicopter and walk across the lawn hand in hand.
A second British lip reader, Nicola Hickling, similarly believes Trump was being protective of Melania in the moment caught on the helicopter.
“I can’t forgive them, they tried to hurt you,” Trump said to his wife at one point on the helicopter, Hickling told the Daily Mail.
“We can’t do this, we should stay safe, you’re not safe,” she replied.
The president then responded: “They’re done. We must challenge them,” according to Hickling.
Miranda Devine, the host of the New York Post’s ‘Pod Force One’ political podcast, shared a still shot of the conversation via her X account.
She pointed out that not only has the ‘Hate Media’ gotten it wrong again in their impassioned desire to paint the President in a bad light…
But the REALITY, seemingly confirmed by the two lip readers as well, is that the conversation was one of protective love between a husband and a wife concerned with each other’s safety:
Donald and Melania Trump were very cool when the UN escalator stopped abruptly. Like the pros they are, they went on with the show.
But a lip-reader viewing footage through the windows of Marine One that night suggests how they really felt about the frightening incident – and… pic.twitter.com/XZYkiJJtS7— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) September 26, 2025
Here’s the full breakdown from Devine’s post based on the professional lip readers’ take:
Donald and Melania Trump were very cool when the UN escalator stopped abruptly. Like the pros they are, they went on with the show.
But a lip-reader viewing footage through the windows of Marine One that night suggests how they really felt about the frightening incident – and reveals a husband and wife who care deeply about each other, contrary to Hate Media wishes.
– “I can’t forgive them, they tried to hurt you,” Trump said to his wife.
– “We can’t do this, we should stay safe, you’re not safe,” she replied.
The suspiciously timed escalator ‘malfunction’ at the United Nations has taken up the lion’s share of the news cycle.
And to be sure, it was a scary moment; no wonder the two would be incensed and animated after all that has gone in their lives and the world in recent days!
Just watch as everyone seems to collectively hold their breath as the escalator stopped working the moment President Trump joined Melania on the contraption:
Though that moment has occupied the majority of the conversation, there was actually two other similar sketchy events at the United Nations besides, according to this report from CNBC News:
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he was the victim of a “triple sabotage” at the United Nations a day earlier, where an escalator, teleprompter and microphone all failed to work for him.
“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN,” wrote Trump, whose post was tweeted by the White House.
Trump, who said he was sending his post to U.N Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to demand an investigation, wrote that an escalator he and First Lady Melania Trump were boarding at the U.N. on Tuesday “came to a screeching halt” as he headed to make a speech to the General Assembly.
Then, Trump’s teleprompter did not work for the first portion of that speech, forcing him to read from paper for 15 minutes until the machine kicked in.
But unfortunately for some people in the room, the president noted, “after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made.”
So there was not only one incident, but THREE, stacked on top of each other as the President attempted to address the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
As we read in that earlier report I shared from the New York Post…
The two lip readers’ assert that the high-drama which befell President Trump and Melania at the United Nations formed the premise for the lively conversation aboard Marine One.
That assertion tracks with President Trump’s own words in this Truth Social post from Wednesday afternoon — prior to the conversation filmed aboard the helicopter:
Here’s the full text of President Trump’s comments in that post for more convenient reading:
A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off an escalator.” The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?” I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
(Emphasis added.)
Did you catch that bold portion I highlighted in President Trump’s Truth Social post?
UN workers reportedly joked about the very thing that happened prior to the escalator ‘malfunction’!
No wonder the President and Melania were carrying on with each other in that discussion as they landed back at the White House.
The entire thing; potentially all three ‘malfunctions’…
- The escalator.
- The teleprompter.
- The speaker system.
ALL of them, in the mind of the President, were likely intentional.
And the escalator situation created what security experts refer to as a choke point; setting up a potential ‘kill zone’ for a planned ambush.
With Charlie Kirk’s death so fresh on everyone’s mind…
That moment on the escalator likely brought up memories of President Trump’s own brush with would-be assassins, leading to what the lip readers have characterized as a discussion about security and safety.
I almost wish the conversation was just a spat between a married couple!
But if the lip readers are right, the primary issue at hand is STILL the safety and security of the President and his wife.
It appears that Melania, the closest person to the President who lives day in and day out within the same security bubble as President Trump, does not trust that his security is enough.
That’s a chilling revelation indeed, and much more alarming than a simple escalator ‘malfunction’ — if you can even believe that’s what it truly was.
Again, if the lip readers are correct in their analysis of the footage, neither the President nor Melania believe what happened at the United Nations was just an unfortunate coincidental run of bad luck.
Judging from the President’s response on social media, his stated intention is to get to the bottom of those sketchy ‘coincidences’…
And to hold whoever may have been responsible to account for putting the safety of his wife, and himself, in question.
