While some dismissed the gesture as innocuous, others took to social media to voice their disgust.
Another sarcastically commented: “I LOVE it when my boss kisses me. Especially on tv and in front of everyone. Fun!” A third chimed in: “Why is she even there? Disgusting and gross.”
Some critics also questioned Erika’s recent visibility, saying: “No hater s*** but why do they keeping her round so much? Her late husband wasn’t even an elected official so what’s da point of dis exactly?”
Yet not everyone viewed the moment negatively. Some defended the gesture as affectionate and innocent.
One person wrote: “Trump actually seems like a really affectionate and loving person. I don’t know if that’s just in recent times, or if it’s because the mainstream media have only ever portrayed him as a grump.”
Another said: “Just a fatherly mild peck on the cheek. That’s it. Nothing more to see here folks.” A third added simply: “How sweet!”
