Trump’s Birthday Parade Brings Rare PDA With Melania
A Celebration With Empty Seats
Donald Trump marked his 79th birthday with tanks, marching bands, and a military parade in Washington, D.C. The event was officially tied to the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary but conveniently landed on his birthday. Trump called it a “big day,” though photos revealed a sparse crowd and plenty of empty space along the parade route.
The former president, known for long speeches, kept his remarks to just eight minutes instead of the planned 15.
A Rare Exchange
Seated between Melania Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump spent most of the event in conversation with Hegseth. Yet one short exchange with Melania caught attention.
A lip reader told the Daily Mail that Trump turned to his wife and asked, “Are you cold?” Melania smiled and replied, “No, I’m okay.” Trump nodded in response.
