Is that The Donald, leaning in (beta tell) and mate guarding? Cringey.
No, that is not a lean-in. As you can see, his attention is focused on something off-camera, not Melania.
He is relaxed and showing some affection to his wife who, as we saw in the previous shot, had in fact turned to kiss him while he just lounged there. The arm over the shoulder is likely not mate guarding in this situation. They are clearly relaxed and appear to be in some sort of relaxed and semi-intimate environment. In that case what you're seeing isn't some kind of mate guarding move it is simply a gesture of affection and masculine dominance.
