If public appearances by a president and first lady are political theatre, first lady Melania Trump and her husband, US President Donald Trump, might want to work on their choreography.
A brief moment caught on camera during the first couple's arrival at the Tel Aviv Airport in Israel appears to show the president reaching behind him for his wife's hand — and she seemingly swatting it away.
Or maybe, upon close inspection of the footage, perhaps she just missed grabbing his outstretched hand, like a trapeze artist flubbing the catch.
Rebuffed, POTUS smooths his tie.
The couple's efforts at hand-holding have long fascinated White House watchers.
