Donald and Melania Trump's Marriage Is Most 'Awkward' Presidential Union in Modern Times: Historian

[Demovictory9]

Prominent presidential historian Douglas Brinkley doesn’t think Donald and Melania Trump‘s marriage is “hinged right.”

“In modern times, we haven’t had such an awkward marriage — one that seems to be, if not unraveling, it seems to be frozen. It doesn’t seem to be a very organic thing,” Brinkley, a professor of history at Rice University and CNN’s presidential historian, tells PEOPLE.

As devoted as Melania may be, the visuals of a happy home life are largely absent to the public.

“Usually, when there is a child in the White House, there is a feeling of joy and laughter,” Brinkley says, referencing the Kennedys and Obamas. “That isn’t emanating from the current first family.”

“It’s almost painful to watch the president and first lady together — they seem uncomfortable in the same photo frame,” Brinkley says. “There’s not a lot of warmth that is being exuded.”

Most likely, the viral news stories about Trump’s womanizing “all gets through to the first lady,” Brinkley says. “She knows this is happening.”

1. Lol, "There's not a lot of warmth that is being exuded."

Not a lot of warmth? They're freaking ice cold. Every picture they're together looks like they both just ate something rotten.
