Sometimes, a person’s innermost thoughts are written all over their face.
Which is why people are speculating about the strength of the relationship between two of the women closest to Donald Trump: his wife, Melania, and eldest daughter, Ivanka.
And it’s all because of a rather unusual expression Melania was caught making after greeting her step-daughter at the Republican National Convention.
Take a look.
This was so weird. #RNC2020 https://t.co/YHReTl0bfT— Dana Goldberg (@Dana Goldberg) 1598581584
The moment occurred as Ivanka strode back from introducing her father for his acceptance speech as the official 2020 Republican presidential nominee.
Melania greeted the first daughter with a wide smile – at first.
But as soon as Ivanka was past her, cameras captured the smile quickly turning to a stony-faced grimace.
People were quick to pick up on the moment.
Some were sardonic.
I see that Melania and Ivanka are getting along juuuuust fine. https://t.co/ktnmRBBG7Q— TrumpsTaxes (@TrumpsTaxes) 1598581910
Others speculated.
Makes you wonder what Ivanka whispered to Melania as she passed by. https://t.co/v43wkZM0yH— Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 (@Jon Cooper 🇺🇸) 1598589936

There were jokes about Melania doing a That’s So Raven.
Melania just had a vision of the future https://t.co/badVeojLrQ— Daniel Newmaη (@Daniel Newmaη) 1598588340
Everyone reached the same assumption though.
Melania doesn’t seem to like Ivanka https://t.co/PyiJ3OPjTZ— Scott Dworkin (@Scott Dworkin) 1598584846
Then again, it could all have just been a facial tic that meant nothing, althugh there have been previous rumours of tension between the two.
Unless Melania speaks up, we'll probably sadly never know the truth.
