Many times during the night, cameras panned to Melania, who seemed unhappy or gave off a blank stare. Even when she clapped, she came off pretty emotionless towards whatever her husband said.

Viewers at home keyed in on this and took to Twitter to hypothesize what could be going on between the couple.
Some thought it could be the Stormy Daniels scandal that recently broke, and others thought she was simply tired of dealing with him.
If eyes could speak, Melania Trump’s eyes are saying F-you to The President tonight! #SOTU #StateOfTheUnion

@realDonaldTrump #sotu thank you for your service Stormy Daniels. Watching Melania tonight and her expressionless face makes this almost bearable.

Even when Melania Trump’s hands clap, her face does not. She is making a wordless statement.
