It's the gift that keeps on giving.
First Lady Melania Trump presented outgoing First Lady Michelle Obama with a gift at the White House prior to Donald Trump's Inauguration Friday, and Mrs. Obama's reaction has created a buzz on social media.
Mrs. Trump gave Mrs. Obama a box from Tiffany's, and Mrs. Obama appeared unsure of what to do with it.
The "awkward" moment on the White House steps when Melania Trump presented Michelle Obama with a gift on the day of the Inauguration has created buzz on social media.
"The gift’s arrival seemed unexpected, and it briefly created an awkward moment," The New York Times wrote.
Fox News host Jenna Lee said Monday on "Happening Now" that she did some research to see if that sort of gift exchange between first ladies had ever occurred before.
It turns out in 2009, Mrs. Obama herself presented Laura Bush with a gift in that exact same spot, and it appears as though Mrs. Trump was simply following her precedent.
Either way, social media has had a field day with the gift exchange.

Coals of Fire being heaped ;)AND good manners.
I think Michelle forgot. Evidently someone bought the gift she presented to Laura Bush so she just forgot
It’s not awkward at all. Wookies do not have any social conscience.

Low class of the Obozos surfaces again.
Melania = style and grace
Michelle= slob and crass
That would indeed be fitting, but Barry would want to use it all the time.
Moochie doesnt care, she got rid of her gay husband for the week and is partying with Richard Branson in the British Virgin Islands...
Wow...Just watched that video for the first time. Ms. Obamba obviously doesn’t know how to act or forgot she did the exact same thing to Ms. Boosh.
LOL....barry had more class than the mooch. Well at least she took all that time to do her hair that day! lol.............Where is momma mooch? The dogs? I still say they get rid of the dogs.
If they are seen together anytime soon will be a bit surprised. What was in the Tiffany box? A gold leaf book of Trumps deals, obama gave the queen his life history...maybe Trump did the same? LOL
I wonder if the diamond studded jock strap with combination cup will fit?
Trump’s wife gave Michelle Obama a Tiffany Box
Michelle, thinking quickly, realized they still had a 2009 left-over boxed DVD set from Walmart that they gave to Gordon Brown, then PM of England.
“Damn” she thought - “I wouldn’t have had to pack it away if I knew this white byatch was bringing gifts!”
What ever happened to , “Thank you. That is so nice of you.”?
“Beauty and the Beast” was supposed to be a Disney movie.
I thought it was humorous. I thought it was a very human moment. Michelle gave it to President Obama to take care of. It was a nice scene. This is hardly something to bash either side over.
