A tense-looking exchange between Melania Trump and Donald Trump has sparked renewed online speculation after a lip reader claimed to have deciphered words allegedly spoken by the US First Lady to the President. The interpretation has fuelled discussion about the couple's relationship, although lip-reading from footage cannot reliably establish exactly what someone said without clear audio.
The moment has attracted attention because of Melania's visibly serious expression during the interaction, with social-media users closely examining the footage and debating what may have been said. Claims that she told her husband, 'I can't take this anymore,' have circulated online, but the alleged words should be treated as an interpretation rather than a confirmed quotation.
