Melania Trump was seen repeatedly ignoring her husband’s attempt to take her hand as the two departed from Air Force One in New Jersey on Sunday.
Whether the snub was intentional was a matter of sharp debate as the video gained viral attention.
The clip, shared on Twitter by The Hill, showed President Donald Trump and his wife arriving at Joint Base Andrews and walking side-by-side down the stairs. Donald was seen reaching over in an attempt to grab the hand of his wife, who had turned her head to the side and pulled her arm away from him.
