Melania Trump may have just come up with the most genius move to avoid holding her husband's hand. That, or the most innocent yet totally awkward thing just happened on the White House lawn.
Yesterday morning, NBC News Tweeted a short clip of Melania Trump and her Presidential hubby Donald Trump, walking from the White House to a helicopter for a trip to Ohio.
Stepping out in a fabulous yellow coat, Melania chose to wear the coat draped across her shoulders, instead of putting her arms through the sleeves.
However, this meant that as her husband Donald - who was recently accused of cheating on her with a porn star after Melania had just given birth to their son Barron (something both he and the pornography actress have strongly denied) - reached for her hand, he was unable to clasp a hold of it.
This mishap, that could easily be innocent, of course, resulted in the couple bumping into each other awkwardly.
Finally, they manage to end this cringe-worthy moment and walk to the helicopter.
Many people noticed the the awkward manoeuvre, pointing out Melania's hand-withdrawal technique:
The First Lady has had a tough time as of late, with rumours about her husband's infidelity rife and her every move scrutinised.
So, as we have said, the couples awkward encounter on the lawn could have been a total mistake. Just two people getting their wires crossed, again.
