First Lady Melania Trump has expressed her disapproval of several of President Donald Trump's public performances, deeming them "unpresidential." Despite their long marriage, she remains unaccustomed to her husband's stage antics, which have become a hallmark of his rallies since the 2020 campaign.

She hates it when I dance.

Trump revealed during a speech in Las Vegas that Melania "hates" when he performs his signature dance, often set to the song "YMCA." He recounted explaining to her that the audience expects it, but she remains unconvinced. Her verdict, according to Trump, is consistently: "Honey, that's not presidential."

I told her: 'Everyone wants me to dance.'

Beyond his dancing, Melania also dislikes his impersonations, particularly those related to transgender athletes. Trump described her reaction as "She hates it when I imitate men in women's sports." Despite her objections, he proceeded to repeat the controversial impersonation at the rally, making faces and raising his fists.

Honey, that's not presidential.

Trump, however, defends his populist style, suggesting it contributes to his political success. "Look, maybe it's not presidential, but I won the election by a huge margin, so I don't know," he told the audience, implying that his unconventional approach resonates with voters. He shared these personal anecdotes shortly after praising his wife's documentary, "Melania: Twenty Days to History," calling it the best film of the year.

She hates it when I imitate men in women's sports.
