The World’s Weirdest Handshake
Most of Melania Trump’s wildest moments (no surprise here) involve her famous husband. One memorable incident happened in 2017 when Melania introduced Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. As he walked onto the stage, everyone expected him to hug or kiss her, even just a quick peck on the cheek.
Instead, Donald Trump surprised everyone by giving her a firm handshake. As if treating his wife like a business partner wasn’t strange enough, he then hurried her off the stage. It was such a bizarre moment that people are still talking about it years later.
Pulling Her Hand Away From Donald
Believe it or not, this entire article could have focused solely on the awkward moments of Donald and Melania Trump trying—and failing—to hold hands like a regular couple. We’ve chosen just one moment, though, and many agree it’s the most cringe-worthy.
On inauguration day, Donald and Melania Trump were stepping off the plane when he reached for her hand. Whether he wanted emotional support or just a photo op, he got neither. Melania swiftly grabbed his hand and then dropped it, clearly rejecting him.
This awkward moment fueled endless online speculation that Melania felt trapped in her marriage to Donald Trump.
