Others were more sarcastic. One user joked that the “love between them is unmistakable,” clearly implying the opposite. Another simply described the moment as “awkward.”

Several commenters suggested the gesture felt restrained rather than warm. Some noted that Melania appeared to offer her cheek, while others claimed the interaction lacked the natural ease often seen in long-term couples, describing it as a polite or obligatory moment for the cameras.

A few users went further, arguing that the brief peck and quick hug reflected limited affection between the pair, rather than genuine intimacy.

The moment has since fueled renewed discussion about how the Trumps present their relationship in public.
