Melania Trump swatting away husband Donald's hand in public

I find the hand over heart thing a bit weird myself. If I were President I suppose I'd have to, but I wouldn't like it.

Or maybe she did not want to hold his hand because he was about to shake the hands of the men directly in front of them? Why is this even a discussion?

Good question. I'd rather discuss the budget proposal, that Democratic senators have started talking about since they got an early copy, that will likely result in a even worse education for America's youth.

Maybe she didn't get ice cream.

This is more pathetic drivel. So sick of these types of smear job garbage. Then you wonder why we don't take the media seriously when something big does happen, because they waste their time on trivial, idiotic stuff. Like someone else said, you have enough to bash Trump on. Why go after his family and read more into things? Maybe Melania doesn't like public displays of affection. Maybe she wasn't looking directly at him and thought a bug landed on her hand. Who knows!

i concur with Wolfe, that first lady Melania was giving her husband, President Trump her own first lady-like version of a high five.

She gently nudged him to place his hand on his heart as the national anthem played during the White House Easter Egg Roll last month.

Thanx Bro, sorry

They're in Israel and it's against Orthodox Jewish tradition for men and women to do that kind of thing in public.

He's always done that. I don't think he follows that tradition. He's been elected by the people including Orthodox. So, it wouldn't cause a scandal.

if you think it's a swat, go ahead and think it's a swat.

Ok, but in that case why would the Orthodox mind if the Trumps held hands along side the Netanyahus? Doesn't it seem more likely that Melania simply brushed Donald's hand away rather than she happened to be aware of the "no holding hands" tradition within Orthodox Judaism? Anyway, I just found the clip to be humorous.

They could have had a spat or maybe again she was being politically correct . I think they were briefed on customs . I think I saw where Trump was warned not to "thumbs up" in SA but he messed up and did it anyway .

She knew his hands had recently been on the sacred Muslim Orb of power and she didn’t want any of that Orb residue getting on her.
