Now that the school year is over, Melania and Barron Trump have officially moved into the White House. Unsurprisingly, several media people were quick to assume an unhappy family reunion.
On the evening of June 11, Mrs. Trump tweeted her anticipation of the days she will spend at the presidential mansion. “Looking forward to the memories we’ll make in our new home,” she wrote, along with the hashtag “#MovingDay.”
But once a photo taken of the trio disembarking from Air Force One began to circulate, several media and entertainment folks quickly jumped to conclusions about the tenor of the reunion.
Ellen show producer Andy Lassner tweeted the pic with the caption “This photo really captures their joy,” while Nell Scovell added: “Has there ever been a family that looked happier to be reunited?”
Marie Claire contributor Mehera Bonner took a similar view, headlining her article “Melania Trump’s Face Upon Moving into the White House Says It All.”
“Has anyone ever looked more miserable?” Bonner continued in her sub-head.
Some writers, like Jezebel’s Rachel Vorona Cote took a more acerbic, tongue-in-cheek approach.
“Is there anything as touching as a family reunited?” Cote questioned. “Melania will once again share living quarters with her dearly beloved spouse.”
“The First Lady has, however, at least feigned happiness on social media,” Cote continued, linking to Mrs. Trump’s tweet.
Just gonna throw this one in here: Do families usually look thrilled after moving, especially when bombarded by photographers?
Melania may be unhappy with Donald Trump, but the media aren’t justified in assuming this based off of photos.
Yes, the Hildabeast and the Mooch looked far more angry and miserable on many occasions. Melania doesn’t look miserable, just inscrutable. She mostly keeps her game face on in public.
>>“Has anyone ever looked more miserable?” Bonner continued in her sub-head.<<
Yes, you shrew. Your parents the moment after you were born!
Every time you look in the mirror,madam.
This crap is getting so old and also just downright comical. It’s getting kinda fun to see what kind of criticisms over the smallest things they can think up next. This will not help them in future elections.
I wouldn’t be too happy if I was her.
The place probably still smells like Wookie.

Lotta projection in the media.
looks like Bubba is enjoying what he sees...
Hey! Some of us in the Eastern time zone are trying to eat dinner...
This childless middle aged gossipy shrews and their gay work “boyfriends” is who runs womens magazines.
Blech
A lot of this doesn’t have anything to do with the relationship between Melania and President Trump...That is the excuse for these ugly, liberal witches having so much extreme jealousy over the grace, class, elegance, and beauty of Melania Trump....
She doesn't look unhappy to me. She looks like someone looking at a bunch of media types most of whom hate her husband's guts.
“...doesn’t look unhappy to me...”
She looks great as always - especially when one takes into account that Melania is in the middle of a move; moves are always stressful even if it is into the White House.
You know, eastern Europeans aren’t as smiling as Americans. For many years, I had a beautiful Russian friend who hated smiling! It’s really frowned upon in Russia. Plus, Melania is an obviously serious person. And who can blame her for hating to move to that swamp?! Now she’s stuck.
