Body language expert reveals what Melania Trump's bold new White House portrait really means as she is compared to ruthless House of Cards wife Claire Underwood
'Everything about this pose screams power and status,' she told DailyMail.com. 'She looks and poses as though she is the right woman in the right place at the right time'.
Melania has pushed back against the 'trophy wife' narrative touted by her critics and instead reminds the world that she 'has her own decisions and her own opinions', according to James.
Social media users were also quick to note how Melania's portrait bares striking resemblance to a photo of Claire Underwood - the First Lady in House of Cards who climbs the political ranks and ultimately becomes President herself in Netflix's successful political drama House of Cards.
Claire, portrayed by actress Robin Wright, was regarded as powerful, ambitious and ruthless, with some alleging she was a stronger character than that of her husband President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey).
Melania's new portrait appears to send a similar message, making clear that she knows there is no time to waste in declaring herself part of a presidential triumvirate.

I hope the Washington Monument, the spade shape with her hands, and the easily inferred, 'As above, so below', in the seemingly intentional reflection on the desk, were not meant to be concealed messages.
