Most presidents and first ladies are a united front, a team, a power couple. Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, though, are breaking that mold. Melania is rarely seen with her husband, really only showing up to the important events, and when they are spotted together, she often looks…repulsed. One of those moments happened over the weekend, as Trump leaned in to kiss her during the 4th of July fireworks display, and online users couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction.

Donald Trump Tries To Kiss Melania Trump

Perched on a balcony at the White House to watch Washington, DC’s firework show, Donald Trump had an arm around Melania Trump’s waist, while the First Lady had a hand braced against his chest, preventing him from getting too close.

The 79-year-old then leaned in for a kiss, to which Melania just barely tilted her head towards him, offering him her forehead to kiss instead. While both of them have smiles plastered on their faces during the whole interaction, social media users were quick to decipher their body language.

Social Media Reactions

This moment was of course captured on video and has since gone viral on X, formerly Twitter. "This looks fake as F!" one person tweeted. "How much did he pay her for this photograph? She clearly despises this old senile fat dude!"

"I just know she was forced to do this," said another.

"He keeps pulling her in but you can tell she doesn't want to be anywhere near him," said a third user. "Donald disgusts Melania."

"She did not want to be seen kissing him, she knew the right angle!" another tweet reads.

"Poor Melania she just tryna get her check and go," a final user wrote.
