It's gaffe that caused some to joke that Donald Trump couldn't find his heart.
US First Lady Melania Trump saved her daydreaming husband from an embarrassing breach of protocol, when he forgot to raise his hand to his heart for the national anthem while hosting his first Easter Egg Roll at the White House.
Even the couple's 10-year-old son Barron knew what to do, raising his hand as the family stood on a balcony overlooking one of the mansion's lawns.
The President, however, was staring off into space with both arms by his side until his wife gave him a not-so-subtle nudge with her elbow.
CNN reporter Daniella Diaz first noticed the awkward moment, and it has been reposted thousands of times since she pointed it out on Twitter.
