Donald Trump has been welcomed into the White House alongside his wife Melania by the Bidens.

Today (January 20) marks Trump‘s inauguration ceremony, but before he’s sworn into office for a second time, he and Melania were invited to the White House by President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill.

It’s an age-old tradition that the president and first lady invite their successors for tea before the new president-elect’s inauguration.

Following their meet-up, the foursome will travel to Trump’s inauguration ceremony in the same car. It’s thought they usually travel in two separate vehicles.

With Biden being a Democrat, and Trump a Republican, it’s safe to say that the pair haven’t always seen eye-to-eye when it comes to politics, but they seemingly put any bad blood aside at today’s meet.

When the Trumps arrived at the White House, Biden said, as per PEOPLE: “Welcome home!”

While Biden has hosted a tea ceremony for Trump and his wife, the Republican didn’t do the same for him when Biden won the 2020 election.

In fact, Trump didn’t attend his then-successor’s inauguration altogether.

Trump and his family quickly jetted back to his home in Florida instead.

Ahead of today’s swearing-in ceremony, Trump has made a series of promises about what will happen when he returns to office.

One of the most notable plans of his is to delay the TikTok ban, which briefly came into force over the weekend before the app reemerged on people’s devices.

When the video sharing platform went dark for a brief period, users were met with the following message: “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now.

“We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

And it wasn’t long until the app was working again, sparking people to suggest that the whole thing was simply a PR stunt.

One person said on social media: “This was such an obvious PR stunt to try to garner favor with Trump. They never had to take TikTok offline, and if they were legally required to, then nothing Trump said to them could have allowed them to restore service.”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed similar sentiments in the run up to TikTok’s deadline yesterday (January 19).

Everything Trump has pledged to do as 47th US President

Immigration

In a statement during a rally at Madison Square Garden during his presidential race he said: “On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out.

“I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”

Planning over 100 executive orders

It’s been reported by AP that Trump plans on preparing over 100 executive orders on his first day in the White House. Trump’s allies have reportedly spent time preparing documents that Trump can sign quickly, on issues such as deportation, school gender policies and vaccine mandates, without input from congress.

“There will be a substantial number,” said Senator John Hoeven, R-N.D.

Making hidden government files public

Including the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King Jr., Trump promised at his recent rally in Washington D.C that, in a bid to increase government transparency, he will be making these disclosures in ‘the coming days’.

“And in the coming days, we are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”

‘Make Greenland Great Again Act’

In a bid that has not gone down well with Greenlanders, taking to his social media platform Truth Social Trump said: “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.

“Greenland is an incredible place. The people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!”

January 6 pardons

Trump’s loss in the 2020 election led to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in turn resulting in the arrests of a number of Trump supporters.

In an interview with TIME, Trump said that looking into the cases of the rioters’ will take place in ‘the first nine minutes’ of his time in office.

In a post shared on his social media channel, Trump said: “I am inclined to pardon many of them. I can’t say for every single one, because a couple of them, probably they got out of control.”

Getting rid of birthright citizenship

Exactly as it sounds, Trump once declared he wanted to get rid of birthright citizenship, which immediately gives citizenship to anyone born in US. Noting that this may not be possible as it’s written into the constitution, he said he wants to achieve this by executive order – bypassing congress again – ‘if we can’.

Cut federal funding for schools educating on ‘inappropriate’ topics

Speaking early last year, Trump addressed a crowd in Iowa and made plans to ‘save [the] country from destruction’.

“On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity,” he said, per NPR.

Trump also said he would target schools pushing ‘any other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our children’.

Making the US the ‘crypto capital’

Back in 2021, Trump called crypto a ‘scam against the dollar.’ But four years on, he’s pulled a u-turn as he vowed to make the US the ‘crypto capital of the planet’.

On social media, Trump claimed crypto would be ‘mined, minted and made in the US’.

Both he and wife Melania released their own memecoins ahead of the inauguration, while experts previously predicted Bitcoin could reach up to $250,000 this year.

Be a ‘dictator’

In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity last year, he referred to himself as a ‘dictator’ when asked if he was promising to ‘never abuse power as retribution against anybody’.

In response, Trump said: “Except for Day 1.

“I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill. We’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling,” he continued.

“After that, I’m not a dictator.”

End Green Deals

Trump has spoken previously about his plan to ‘terminate the Green New Deal’, which he dubbed the ‘Green New Scam’.

The Green New Deal was pitched by Democrats Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markey, but it was never signed into law.

Addressing the policies in a speech in September, Trump said: “To further defeat inflation, my plan will terminate the Green New Deal, which I call the Green New Scam. Greatest scam in history, probably.

“We [will] rescind all unspent funds under the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act.”

“I’m going to write it out in an executive order. It’s going to end on Day 1.”

Arrange green cards for college graduates

Despite making his stance on migration clear, Trump has advocated for non-US citizens to receive green cards to stay in the country if they graduate from college.

During an episode of the ‘All In’ podcast recorded this year, Trump said: “Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years, if you graduate, or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country […]

“Somebody graduates at the top of the class, they can’t even make a deal with the company because they don’t think they’re going to be able to stay in the country. That is going to end on Day 1.”

Scrap ‘electric vehicle mandates’

Trump plans to scrap Biden administration’s so-called electric vehicle mandate, referring to new pollution standards that incentivize auto manufacturers to increase production of electric and lower-emission vehicles.

Despite vowing to get rid of the policy on his first day, Trump told podcaster Joe Rogan the move could take ‘maybe two days, because it’s a little bit busy’.

Fire the man who indicted him

Trump faced two federal cases in relation to the 2020 election result from special counsel Jack Smith, and the future POTUS has no plans to work with him again.

Speaking on October 24, Trump told the Hugh Hewitt show he would fire Smith ‘within two seconds’.

“He’ll be one of the first things addressed,” he said.

Amazon Prime Video is reportedly forking out $40 million to license a documentary about the life of Melania Trump.

The incoming First Lady tends to steer clear of the spotlight – although she did release a memoir back in October, which detailed how she first met Donald Trump in a New York City nightclub, among other anecdotes.

The Slovenian model even managed dodge the majority of her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign, but did spark ‘body double’ rumors after making an appearance on election day.

Now, her ‘truly unique story’ is set to be told in a new Amazon Prime Video movie, which releases on the streamer and in cinemas in ‘the second half of 2025’.

The deal will also include a follow-up docu-series made up of two or three episodes, according to Puck News, who also first reported the multi-million licensing price tag.

The Jeff Bezos-owned company confirmed over the weekend the ‘behind the scenes’ movie began filming in December, with Melania serving as executive producer.

Controversial director Brett Ratner – who was accused of sexual misconduct by women, including Hollywood actress Olivia Munn at the height of 2017’s #MeToo movement – is also on board.

Ratner’s lawyer denied the sexual misconduct allegations.

It appears as though there is some genuine interest around Melania’s life, especially from people on TikTok.

A quick search for Melania Trump on the social media site brings up hundreds of clips of the incoming First Lady, which have received millions of likes.

And recently, a resurfaced video of her talking to a young Barron Trump went viral, as he uttered the phrase ‘I like my suitcase’ in a strong Slovenian accent.

Melania was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, and began working as a fashion model from the age of 16.

Italian-born businessman Paolo Zampolli sponsored her move in the US in 1996, later introducing her to Trump.

At this stage, Amazon has remained vague about what exactly will be included in the documentary, the name of which is yet to be confirmed.

The company said in a statement: “Prime Video will be sharing more details on the project as filming progresses and release plans are finalized.

“We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world.”

The new Melania project was announced not long after Amazon founder Bezos met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and announced Amazon would donate $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

‘It’s all to do with power dynamics, deep down,’ claims a body language expert after analysing an interaction between Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris.

President-elect Trump and Vice President Harris shared a room for the first time since the pair discovered their fate on Election Day (November 5), sadly it came around as they paid their respects to the 39th President Jimmy Carter.

On December 29, the oldest living US president passed away peacefully at his home in Plains, the town where he was born in Georgia, at the age of 100.

Today, leaders from around the world attended the state funeral of Carter, which was held at the National Cathedral, in Washington DC.

President Joe Biden gave a eulogy at the service, saying: “The very journey of our nation is a walk of sheer faith to do the work to be the county we say we are, to be the country we say we want to be — a nation where we all created equal in the image of God and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives.”

While everyone paid their respects, it was noticeable that there may have been some animosity held between Harris and Trump, who was sat next to Obama. Take a look:

Speaking about the bizarre interaction, body language expert Darren Stanton revealed his beliefs over what was going on.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Stanton said: “The shot with Kamala Harris and her husband where she shuffles, I think that is her possibly using a strategy to block out the cameras and keep his profile down.

“Barack Obama leans forward and speaks, and Trump leans back to him as well. Where Kamala Harris is positioned, Trump is completely out of shot in the cameras.

“Trump appears to be flashing contempt, he’s showing a bilateral smile, that’s contempt and smugness, flashing this grin. Kamala Harris isn’t laughing, but she’s showing an element of smugness. Barack Obama shows genuine sadness.”

“It’s all to do with power dynamics, deep down, Trump knows he’s soon to be the president, and that shapes his expressions here,” he added.

It was awkward, to say the least.

A statement issued about Carter’s death explained that he was surrounded by his family at the time of his death and added ‘he was 100, the longest-lived president in US history’.

Carter, a Nobel Peace Prize winner who was president between 1977 and 1981, is survived by his children Jack, Chip, Jeff, and Amy, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.

An expert has spoken about Melania Trump’s body language as her husband, Donald Trump, was declared the new president-elect of the United States.

The result of the US election had been predicted hours before after Trump was projected to win swing states of North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, but it was his triumph in Wisconsin that pushed him over the line of 270 votes.

Declaring his victory after the Republican Party took Pennsylvania on Wednesday morning (November 6), Trump – who will become America’s 47th president in January 2025 – took to the stage at his campaign’s HQ in West Palm Beach, Florida.

He told supporters: “Every single day I will be fighting for you, with every single breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that children deserve.

“And that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age for America. They were tough races… the number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible.”

Trump appeared on stage alongside his family, including his wife Melania, son Barron and daughter Ivanka.

Now, speaking to Paddy Power Games, body language expert Judi James explained that Melania, 54, appeared ‘powerful’ and ‘confident’ as she shared the stage with her husband.

“During [Trump’s] arrival on stage, he stepped out to pose, looking momentarily overwhelmed. While his right hand punched the air gently his face seemed puckered in a moment of inner emotion,” James explained.

“It was Melania, in a businesslike grey power suit and the towering Barron who flanked Trump exhibiting the body language signals of strength and support.”

According to James, it was Trump’s body language that gave a clear impression he ‘seeks support and strength’ from his wife who was ‘promoted to a star in her own right’ as she stood alongside her husband.

“Trump’s gesticulation and touch rituals with her gave the impression that he seeks support and strength from her rather than the other way round,” the expert added.

“While Trump opted to not bare his teeth in a smile, Melania was beaming with rounded cheeks of pride and delight and baring both upper and lower teeth in her smiles.”

The pair even shared an embrace on stage, with Trump congratulating Melania on her ‘number one best-selling book’ in the US.

“He turned to throw his arms out for a congratulatory hug to her. Melania responded with both hands held out palms-up and there was a familiarly awkward-looking moment before the couple docked.”

But according to James, the biggest sign of Melania’s ‘power and confidence’ came when she placed her arm on Trump’s back.

“A revealing signal of Melania’s power and confidence came as she stretched an arm out to place her hand on Trump’s back to steer (or gently push) him back to the lectern,” she continued.

“A final signal of Trump’s new power dynamic with Melania came when another guy took to the mic and Trump edged across to his wife to push his fingers into her hand like a small child seeking reassurance from its mother.”

This will be Trump’s second time around in the White House, and he will be inaugurated into office in January 2025.
