‘She absolutely detests him’: Donald Trump reaches for Melania’s hand, and she dodges like a pro

For years, there have been ongoing jokes about Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, particularly regarding her reluctance to show any physical affection towards him in public. Each time Donald tries to hold Melania’s hand, she either looks uncomfortable, almost as if she’s pleading for help, or she quickly pulls her hand away as soon as they are out of the public eye.
The awkward dynamic between Donald and Melania Trump has raised eyebrows for years. Recently, many have been theorising about their relationship, with most suggesting that their relationship might be contractual, requiring them to maintain a united front for the public, while they remain completely apathetic to each other’s existence behind the scenes. There are several clips available online that support this theory, and I must admit, they are all quite funny and believable.
Regardless of the setting, whenever Donald Trump attempts to hold Melania’s hand, she either yanks it away or shifts it entirely to avoid his touch. During this process, she either squints her eyes and maintains a deadpan expression or both, as if she’s on the verge of exploding with anger and frustration and punching her husband. Honestly, I can relate to that, and perhaps billions of Americans feel the same way. Donald Trump is undoubtedly punchable. No debate.
Melania’s responses to Donald’s hand-holding attempts have sparked a meme trend, with many creating compilation videos of these moments for social media. In one such clip, which is currently going viral on X (formerly Twitter), a viewer makes a very common observation about Melania Trump and writes:
“She absolutely detests him.”
Another person highlights the alleged contractual relationship between Melania and Donald and writes:
“Let’s say public touching and kissing weren’t in the service contract between Trump and the conscience-imprisoned lady”
Several others have echoed similar sentiments, admitting to being irked by Donald and Melania Trump’s multiple public interactions that reek of fishy business.
