Melania’s instinctive recoil

This is strange. But telling. The Daily Beast reports:

As President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump flee the “witch hunt” in D.C. for a world tour, there have been ample opportunities to observe their forced interactions.

Monday in Tel Aviv, Melania’s casual batting away of her husband’s hand lit the internet on fire. Her “hand slap heard ’round the world… temporarily sated the public’s bottomless appetite to see President Trump denied what he wants in its most viscerally appealing manifestation,” Erin Gloria Ryan wrote.

Ok, whatever. It looks like she slapped his hand away but maybe it was something else.

Now check this out from their arrival in Rome:

She’s recoiling. Haven’t we all had that reaction to some people in our lives?

I don’t blame her, of course. I suspect most women react that way in his presence.
