Viewers were left perplexed during Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony when he attempted to kiss his wife, Melania, but seemingly missed. The moment has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many questioning whether the kiss was intentional or not.
As Trump greeted Melania, who was donning a wide-brimmed hat, he leaned in for a kiss on the cheek. However, it appeared that Melania’s hat got in the way, leaving Trump’s lips to meet only air. While some speculated that the couple was simply opting for a chic air kiss, others believed that Melania’s hat was strategically placed to avoid the kiss.
The incident has generated a wave of humorous comments on social media, with many joking that Melania’s hat was a “Trump shield” or a clever way to avoid getting her makeup smeared. Others suggested that Trump should have simply kissed her hand instead.
The momentary awkwardness between the couple was not the only thing that caught viewers’ attention. Many were also wondering why Michelle Obama was not present when her husband, Barack Obama, arrived at the inauguration ceremony. Although an official statement from the Obama’s office confirmed that Michelle would not be attending the inauguration, no reason was given for her absence.
