He only tried to hold her hand after he saw Bibi and his wife holding hands. He was like, "Wait, is this how humans act? Melania!" https: t.co pMLwbbNQj4— Kara Calavera KaraCalavera May 22, 2017

Some have argued that the swat or slap, as others are calling it wasn’t a swat at all, but merely a withdrawal.
No, Melania didn't slap his hand away. He withdrew the offered hand as she was clearly reaching for it. Let's don't be silly.— Abbie Nonamous Abbie_Nonamous May 22, 2017
But we’ll let you decide what the moment really meant.
