Melania Trump apparently only smiles when her husband's watching.
The First Lady can be seen in a cringe-worthy video clip from Friday's inauguration ceremony flashing a beaming smile for her husband only to have a cloud of gloom come over face the second he looks away.
"It's my prayer that God will bless you, your family, your administration and may He bless America," North Carolina Rev. Franklin Graham can be heard saying as President Trump is met by an ear-to-ear smile from his third wife when he looks over his shoulder.
But when Trump turns back around, his wife's encouraging smile gives way to a scowl as despondent as the gray rainclouds overhead.

To make matters even more awkward, the video began circulating online just one day after the presidential couple's 12th wedding anniversary, prompting the #FreeMelania hashtag to pop up across social media.
"It really feels like he is holding her hostage," one Twitter user speculated.
April Spruell I think he is verbally abusive towards her... what a shame... I could be very wrong tho
