A professional lip reader decoded a heated exchange between President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump at Sunday’s race, capturing the president reportedly saying he had “had enough.”
The exchange took place at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, the first IndyCar street race ever held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, speaking to Metro, described the conversation as “intense.”
The first lady was seen leaning over to speak in the president’s ear before the two began talking over each other and she raised her hand, according to Metro.
“That is private and valuable text,” Melania Trump reportedly told her husband.
“Was it enough?” Donald Trump replied, according to the lip reader.
Melania Trump answered: “I don’t know.”
“Then I need to see it,” Donald Trump continued.
“Donald, listen, I’m gonna go,” Melania Trump said, the lip reader determined.
“It’s bad news, but it’s a bad timing Melania,” Donald Trump said as the exchange grew more pointed, according to Hickling.
“That’s crazy,” Melania Trump was said to have replied.
Melania Trump then whispered in the president’s ear, according to Hickling.
“I’ve had enough of her,” Donald Trump shot back, Hickling reported
Melania Trump whispered again, and as she pulled back, Hickling said she appeared to say, “Obviously I’ll see and talk to her in the morning.”
Also at Sunday’s event was Natalie Harp, Trump’s executive assistant, whose close relationship with the president has drawn scrutiny in recent weeks.
A clip of the moment Melania Trump left her seat — and Harp subsequently approached the president — circulated widely on social media.
TMZ reported that Harp was seated just a few feet behind the first couple during the race. Personal letters that surfaced recently showed Harp telling Donald Trump he was “all that matters” to her, according to TMZ.
A fact-check by MEAWW noted that the video of the Trumps’ discussion carries no audio and that nothing in contemporaneous reporting confirmed what the president and first lady were discussing.
Florida native Kyle Kirkwood, 27, won the race after leading 128 of 147 laps, according to Metro.
