And it’s because of interactions like the one on Friday, when Trump greeted the first lady with a formal handshake after she introduced him at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. “You go sit down, honey,” the president said while nudging her offstage.
Twitter had its say right after the awkward moment ― but the talk show host had to wait until his show Monday to weigh in.
Kimmel called the exchange the “most uncomfortable display of affection between any husband and wife this year.” And that’s saying something, considering the cringe-worthy moments the two have shared in the hand-holding department.
“She should have just walked off that stage and kept walking all the way to Slovenia,” he said.
After showing a highlight reel of POTUS and FLOTUS’s unromantic moments, there was only one thing left for Kimmel to do: capture touching moments with an audience handshake cam.
Tom Ford was refusing to dress Melania Trump even before she became first lady. Ford said on "The View" in December 2016 that he'd previously declined to dress Trump because she is "not necessarily my image," adding his belief that the first lady, no matter who she is, should wear clothing the American people can relate to. President-elect Donald Trump responded by claiming Ford was never asked to dress his wife. "I'm not a fan of Tom Ford," he said.
Christian Siriano
Although he originally said in December 2016 he would have to wait and "see how it goes" before making a decision about dressing Melania Trump, Siriano told Time in April 2017 he doesn't think he would dress the first lady. "She is representing what’a happening politically and what’s happening politically right now is not really good for anyone,” he said.
Zac Posen
Posen said in March 2017 that he doesn't plan on dressing the first lady any time soon. "I'm staying away from bringing my brand into politics," he said, citing "issues that are being questioned that are fundamentally upsetting" to him including LGBT and women's rights.
Marc Jacobs
Marc Jacobs told WWD in November 2016 that he "has no interest whatsoever" in dressing the first lady, opting instead to put his "energy into helping out those who will be hurt by [Donald] Trump and his supporters."
