The president and first lady landed in Israel on Monday morning during Trump’s first international trip while in office.

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

@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..
