Trump Humiliated as Melania Leaves Him Hanging in Cringe Video
Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images President Donald Trump has been humiliated by his wife Melania in a cringeworthy new video.
The first lady, 56, made a rare public appearance with her 80-year-old husband on Monday.
The pair both signed an executive order linked to Melania’s campaign to improve women’s health through research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
At a ceremony in the White House, the pair sat down to sign the document together.
After scrawling his signature with a Sharpie, Trump bragged, “Oh, that’s a good one.” After his wife began to sign, Trump turned to loyal members of his administration standing behind him, then remarked, “I don’t know if her signature means anything.” Melania smiled and responded, “Yours is the most important,” while Trump watched her sign the document and remarked, “Hmm, oh that looks very similar.” Trump’s signature was almost three times the size of his wife’s.
As the administration laughed at Trump’s attempt a joke, Melania said, “Copy everything, right?” Trump held up the signed document for applause, awkwardly reached to grab his wife’s hand, then went in for a kiss.
Melania promptly turned her head away from her husband of 21 years, so he appeared to kiss the side of her head.
The interaction was noticed by journalist Aaron Rupar, who noted on X , “Melania Trump turns her head far to the side as Trump moves in for a kiss,” adding the flushed face emoji.
After the botched kiss, Trump continued to hold her hand, then patted it several times and said, “Great job.” She replied, “Thank you, you too.” It was Melania’s first major appearance with her husband at the White House since they held a reception for Gold Star Families on October 6, which was closed to the media; however, she did post a solemn video after the event.
“As we reflect on the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes, we hold the deepest respect for America’s Gold Star families,” she wrote on social media.
“You carry the profound loss of a loved one who gave their life to safeguard our freedom.
Before that, Melania was photographed with her husband at the White House on September 25 as they welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan.
During her speech, Melania said she had a vision for a “new standard for women’s health in America,” and told the assembled audience, “Previous generations fought for women’s rights.” The executive order establishes the White House Women’s Health Task Force, which will be led by the president’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles.
Last month she announced she had finished treatment for breast cancer.
