Pete Souza shares adorable, perfectly-timed photo of the Obamas

A picture is worth 1,000 words, unless Pete Souza is posting it ... then it's worth 1,000 words, a flood of beautiful nostalgia, some laughter, a few tears of joy, and a glorious heap of shade.

Obama's former White House photographer has become something of an icon on Instagram, frequently posting throwback photos of Obama in office that coincidentally (JK they are totally planned) seem to coincide with whatever Trump and his administration are up to at the moment.

On Tuesday morning Souza blessed his followers with an adorable memory of Barack and Michelle defining #RelationshipGoals (as they always do). And with a two word caption it seems he once again managed to sub-Insta Trump in the process.

The photograph shows a serious Barack and Michelle sitting side-by-side at an event in Selma, Alabama holding each other's hands.

I mean, the couple look so casual and in love can you even stand it?

While it's entirely possibly some may believe Souza shared this Tuesday throwback to marvel at how precious the couple looked, the two-word caption can't help but seem like a subtle jab at Trump.

Now "Holding hands" might not seem like a hot burn, but during Trump's recent trip to the Middle East he and the first lady somehow managed to make headlines for their lack of hand holding.

More specifically, a video that appeared to show Melania Trump swatting away her husband's attempt to reach for her hand while walking down an airport tarmac in Israel was discovered earlier this week. Then today while the couple deplaned in Italy, she did it again and the internet had a field day.  

Despite Souza's busy schedule, filled with book deals and snapping House of Cards promo pics, the king of Instagram always makes room for posting perfectly-timed photos.
