Donald and Melania Trump aren’t usually very affectionate toward each other in public. However, last week they both kissed on stage, and the official White House X account posted a picture of them holding hands. Still, social media went into a meltdown over the post – calling it “the worst attempt at damage control.”
Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage has always stirred up emotions. The couple has been reported to be doing poorly.
For example, Trump author Michael Wolff, who’s. written several books on Trump, and making the president despise him, have said that Melania “hates” her husband.
The New York Times piece from May 2025, which said Melania had spent only 14 days at the White House since the move in January, fueled speculation that they weren’t the most lovable couple.
The timing of the pictures of him and Melania being posted through official White House channels has left social media in a meltdown.
“Worst attempt at damage control in human history,” one user wrote.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen them this close. It must be way worse,” a second commented.
A third asked, “doesn’t this make it look worse,” and a fourth commented, “WH needs a better intern.”
A fifth said, “Laughable. That moment should be preserved like King Tut’s crown….something that wasn’t seen for thousands of years.”
