EXCLUSIVE – Body language expert Judi James has given her verdict on First Lady Melania Trump’s ‘grim’ demeanour as she watched her husband President Donald Trump falsely claim victory in the US election during his extraordinary speech

As Americans nervously wait for the results of the US election, President Donald Trump faced the cameras to give an extraordinary speech falsely claiming victory.

His wife Melania walked out with him and stood nearby as he scoffed at the electoral system and made a series of false claims about the results.

Dressed in a black trouser suit, Melania flashed a quick smile before her cheer seemed to evaporate.

Body language expert Judi James has decoded the First Lady’s seemingly “grim” expression and noted her mood seemed to match her “funereal black” outfit.

Judi explains: ” Melania’s signal facial expression can be beautifully impassive and Sphynx-like but the mood-change today was dramatic, even though the actual expression changes were subtle.

“Gone was the wide smile she had used during the election campaign, which had been so strong that people had even started to ask if she were a body double.
