Not only was she looking away - I didnt see her say thank you. She grabbed the box and turned away looking for someone in a uniform to pass it to.
What’s sad is that Melania probably put a lot of thought into something beautiful and special from Tiffany and Company; it seemed to me Michelle could have taken a few seconds to smile and thank Melania for the surprise and her kindness. Michelle could have at least faked being nice, it wouldn’t have killed her.
Sorry, but she doesn’t know how to. She is too stuck on herself.
I looked again at the video of Melania handing the gift to Michelle.

I couldn’t see her say thank you. Melania had a big smile on her face but Michelle didn’t. Michelle got a slight smile on her face when she couldn’t find anyone to hand off the present to.
