Donald and Melania Trump just shared another deeply awkward couple moment
Donald and Melania Trump aren't exactly known for their affectionate warmth towards each other, but their latest public interaction was more awkward than most.
This weekend, the US First Lady introduced her husband at military facility Joint Base Andrews in Maryland ahead of him giving a speech. After finishing her intro, the president slowly walked towards her and shook her hand - like married couples so often do. He then told her to "go sit down", and gave her a gentle push off the stage.
Trump, awkward handshake:
"Great job, lady. What's your name again?"

While an impassioned kiss would not have been necessary, a handshake does seem like an oddly formal ritual to do with a wife. The awkward moment has not gone unnoticed on Twitter as it fuels speculation that the couple's marriage might not be authentic.
Ah yes, a handshake, so intimate, thank you very much husband sir, my misery is palpable, solid deal sir
