The so-called “thumb-hold” moment quickly turned into a social media storm, sparking memes, jokes, and endless theories about the couple’s relationship. People were quick to point out it’s not the first time Melania has seemed to dodge a hand-hold, recalling the 2017 clip where she brushed Trump’s hand away in Israel, and another similar moment during a 2020 debate.
Still, the internet can’t resist. Every awkward glance or hand-hold (or lack of one) becomes instant meme material — proof that when it comes to the Trumps, even the smallest moment can set social media on fire.
