The First Lady of the United States Melania Trump isn’t too keen on hand-holding, it would seem, as she repeatedly shrugs her husbands attempts and that too in front of media. The US President Donald Trump and the First Lady had yet another awkward moment and, the ever-vigilant Twitterati was in no mood to give it a miss. Before boarding Marine One as they departed from the White House to Ohio recently, Trump extended his hand towards Melania, who was wearing a long yellow overcoat draped over her shoulders, to hold her hand, but people on social media seem convinced that she seemingly wasn’t inclined to let him do so.
This interpretation comes as no surprise since this was not the first time that such an incident happened. Previously, when they visited Israel for bilateral meetings, not only did the FLOTUS not hold his hand, but she swatted it away.

Then during the US First Couple’s Rome visit, a video showing Melania hastily brushing aside Trump’s hand as he holds it out to her at the Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel became instantly viral.
The ‘Melania swat on hand’ video footage have become a favourite in Twitterverse, and this latest incident unsurprisingly gave rise to an onslaught of witty reactions.
