Melania often displays open contempt for Donald Trump in her facial expressions. It seems clear to me that she harbors an intense dislike for that man. Ivanka is harder to read. Her expression in that photo is completely neutral. Blank.

The Pope, on the other hand, usually smiles during such photo ops. He is certainly not smiling in this one.
