Melania Trump and Donald Trump can’t get it together! For the final night of the Republican National Convention, the former First Lady, who has been mostly away from the spotlight since leaving office, made a grand appearance. Melania turned heads as she proudly supported her husband. However, her encouragement for Donald’s presidential campaign didn’t involve a kiss.
Thursday night was the climax of the four-day RNC event, where Former President Trump officially accepted the Republican presidential nomination. To cap off the big night, the politician gave a lengthy speech, which ended with a surprise appearance on stage from his First Lady. Melania was a sight to behold in a bright red skirt-suit ensemble as she walked graciously across the stage to embrace her husband. Donald seemed taken aback to see his wife of 19 years before pulling her close for a hug and kiss. However, what was supposed to be an affectionate moment spun a meme when Melania dodged Donald’s kiss.
Fans can see the moment when he tries to kiss Melania on the lips, but she swerves and turns a cheek instead. The former model, however, puts on a smile and proceeds to link arms with her husband as they wave to the crowd while the rest of the Trumps finally joined them on stage. The former first couple is not usually affectionate with each other, so this was a change. However, netizens didn’t appreciate it much.
