Delusional Don thinks everybody loves his public dancing, but he admitted his own wife hates it
Melania tried her best to save Trump and herself from embarrassment.
At a House GOP retreat on Jan. 6, Donald Trump decided to share a story he clearly thought made him look charming. As always, it did not. But we now have another proof that Melania Trump secretly hates her husband.
Half an hour into his tiring speech, Trump told the Republican room that Melania “hates” when he dances in public. Not dislikes. Hates. According to Trump, she has repeatedly told him that it’s “unpresidential” and asked him to stop. She essentially tried to save him from himself. But the delusional, narcissistic king is defeated by habit.
Instead of considering her advice, Trump overruled her judgment publicly. Desperately seeking validation, he instead asserted that people demand his dance. “Everybody wants me to dance, darling,” he recalled telling her. “The place goes crazy. They’re screaming, ‘Dance, please,’” he continued.
Melania still tried to reason with him. She insisted that people are “just being nice,” but Trump insists she’s wrong. Funnily enough, we all know who’s right. To make it more hilarious, Trump described Melania as “very classy” before telling the story. Which means, he agrees that she’s the adult in the room and is aware of optics and basic dignity. But Trump and class sit poles apart.
According to his telling, Melania even asked him, “Could you imagine FDR dancing?” But Trump’s response to the FDR reference was rambling. He praised Roosevelt’s elegance, casually noted World War II, and acknowledged that he wouldn’t behave this way. “He wouldn’t be doing this. But nor would too many others,” he said.
Confusingly, he returned to the assertion that everybody loves him dancing the very next moment. It was a strange moment. And it was made stranger by the fact that Roosevelt was disabled by polio and bound to a wheelchair. Despite that, he was being invoked in a story about physical spectacle. The comparison wasn’t just inappropriate. It was incoherent.
Trump also casually insulted his wife’s knowledge, saying, “There’s a long history that perhaps she doesn’t know.” He didn’t just ignore her advice. He aired it, mocked it, and overruled it in front of lawmakers. As if humiliating your spouse is a natural extension of crowd work.
But that’s Trump’s pattern. He has always treated applause as evidence, noise as consent, and laughter as admiration. If a crowd reacts, it must be love. If someone cringes, they just don’t get it. In the Trump-Kennedy center room that day, people laughed, just like he wanted. But on social media, reactions were less charitable.
Users on X thanked Melania for saying what everyone else was thinking. Others pointed out that publicly belittling your spouse usually isn’t the flex Trump thinks it is. But one thing’s for sure, the inside joke that Melania secretly hates Trump isn’t completely a joke. And Trump handed us the evidence himself.
