In an incredible video, President Trump can be seen escorting his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, across the White House lawn to a helicopter, prompting conservatives on X to show their appreciation for the president’s chivalrous behavior and call him a gentleman.
For context, a video shared on X by user Ada Lluch on April 25, 2025, shows President Trump and his wife walking towards Marine One, the presidential helicopter, dressed in formal attire in preparation for Pope Francis’s funeral. In the video, the president can be seen wrapping his arm around the first lady’s waist as the pair approached the helicopter, leading some members of the press to be surprised by a seemingly uncharacteristic display of affection from the two.
In response to the heartwarming scene, journalist Tom Sanders described Melania’s behavior as a surprise, saying that the first lady “has maintained a relatively low profile during Trump’s second term, sparking occasional speculation about their relationship despite expressing affection for Donald on several occasions.”
Furthermore, Sanders pointed out that Melania seems to be shifting in her behavior toward the president based on moments like this one, with the journalist commenting, “There are signs that the couple may be slowly but surely getting closer.” He added, “During the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on Sunday, Melania was spotted holding her husband’s hand, marking a rare appearance with an even rarer public display of affection.”
When the video of the president and first lady was shared on X by user Ada Luch, she added the caption, “I speak in the name of all women when I say we love when men do protective gestures like Trump just did with Melania. True gentleman spotted.”
Commenting on the heartwarming video, X user CLMOK2 shared her support for the Trumps’ relationship, saying, “I love their public relationship dynamic. Only they know who they are in private, but their devotion in public makes this jaded old lady smile. Divorce will do that to ya. Glad to see they overcame the baggage of past lives and are making theirs work. It’s a beautiful thing.”
In addition, another user chimed in to express their appreciation for President Trump’s gentlemanly behavior, saying, “I love these two. She is so intelligent, so stunning and so fierce. They have a relationship that is amazing. To have someone who is so visible everywhere in the world and is an absolute workaholic, but still have these little moments, it says a lot. I wonder if she realizes just how important they are to so many. The gravity of that thought

Melania also gained plenty of attention for the stunning outfit she wore to the Pope’s funeral on April 26, 2025, an iconic ensemble that included a black veil, gloves, and stilettos. The outfit prompted one conservative X user to describe the first lady as “the classiest and most beautiful first lady ever,” adding, “Haters going to hate and that’s just due to their ignorance.”
