Swat Heard Around the World: Melania Slaps Back Trump’s Hand, Twitter Has Field Day

The president and first lady landed in Israel on Monday morning during Trump’s first international trip while in office. As the pair walked down the tarmac in Tel Aviv, Trump reached out for his wife’s hand, and she swatted it away. POTUS then used his rejected hand to adjust his tie. Smooth move, Mr. President.

@raggapegs Trump looked over, saw they were holding hands, tried to do the same with Melania and she was like nope ????

— Sarah Cooper (@sarahcpr) May 22, 2017

@raggapegs She is really showing her disgust for Trump. Though I'm surprised he attempted to hold her hand, usually he leaves Melania miles behind..
