The latest clip to go viral was taken during a photo op while King Charles and Queen Camilla were visiting from the United Kingdom. In the video, Donald Trump holds Melania’s hand, but it’s not long before Melania very obviously pulls her hand away from her husband. Keep reading for more information.

Melania Trump Pulls Her Hand From Donald Trump
King Charles, Queen Camilla, and their presidential hosts posed for a photo op as they arrived for Tuesday night’s state dinner, with Melania looking especially glamorous. Dressed in a Christian Dior Haute Couture gown paired with elbow-length white gloves, she looked as elegant as ever, but seemed to want to drop one of her accessories: the hand of her husband.
As the two couples posed for photos together, Donald Trump holds Melania’s hand, but it’s only seconds before Melania is visibly trying to yank her hand out of Trump’s. After she successfully does so, she actually turns her head to glare at Trump, which he responds to with a short glare of his own.

"She really hates him," a fourth person wrote. "So sad.
"She looks miserable," another user posted.
"Do they realize we see the awkwardness between them or what...because this is really confusing," a final person commented. "It's one thing you don't like him but to not be able to hide it in public for a photo op is wild!!!"
