Depending what side of the political chasm you sit on, the body language of the First Lady is either evidence she thinks her husband is a monster too or just a mild aversion to the man in charge.
Either way, Melania Trump does seem pretty determined not to hold her husband's unusually small (fake news!), pussy-grabbing (locker room talk!) hands, doesn't she?
First, while walking down Tel Aviv earlier this week, she appeared to bat away his attempts at a hand-hold for the cameras.
And now, getting off Air Force One in Rome, she's gone and done it again. In a clip spotted by Twitter journalists (who else?), Don reaches once more for a reassuring squeeze of his wife's palm and again she appears to decline – although this time it's arguable he merely mistimed the gesture just as she went to fix her hair.
In any case, Donald J Trump was ready this time and responded by pivoting into a back pat (some have argued - bum grab), which is a bit like tripping in the street and trying to style it out into a light jog. No one buys it, basically.
