Donald Trump’s attempt to kiss Melania is surely the most awkward 13 seconds you’ll watch this year
Donald Trump’s relationship with his wife Melania has been a rich source of fascination – and memes – ever since he first entered the White House (and no doubt will be again should he return there next year).
Melania didn’t speak at the Republican national convention but she did turn up to accompany her husband on stage. But observers could be forgiven for thinking that she didn’t always look entirely comfortably alongside Trump. Not least when he leant in for a kiss.
And this happened.

It’s that look of love he gives her after that truly warms the heart.
And it prompted no end of comment as you might imagine, and these people surely said it best.

OMG, Melania almost nicked her ear on Trump’s ear cast.

She looks like she’d rather be anywhere else on the planet, besides there at that moment…

Maybe support a candidate whose wife likes him enough to kiss him at one of the most important moments of his life? https://t.co/J8mDw82JEW

Except, just in the interests of balance and all that, there was also plenty of people, like this person, who thought it was a perfectly natural and loving moment.
She kissed him. Were they supposed to make out on stage?
