Footage filmed as the President and First Lady disembarked from their plane in Israel shows Trump holding out his hand behind him as if he's encouraging his wife to grasp it.
Trump's hand lingers behind him for a few seconds before wife Melania does a swift flick of the wrist and swats his fingers away from her.
His hand recoils and he continues walking as if nothing happened.
It's so subtle and her movements so seamless, anyone would miss it - but luckily for us, it was captured on camera.
When the footage is slowed down, it becomes apparent she hit his hand away from her.
Why wouldn't she want to hold his hand on arrival in the country? It's unclear. Perhaps she's one of these people who don't like holding hands with their partners in public.

Half the gossip press is all eat up with this nanosecond of nothingness. Truly grasping at straws.
It could be that she wants to present that "Heads of State" look.
No, he reached back behind him to grasp her hand, by the time she reached up to grab his hand he had pulled it back already. They briefly touched during the exchange.
People really need to go get a life, TDS is becoming actually sad
“Looks like he’s acknowledging her before they reach the line of dignitaries, and she gives him a “low five” back.”
That’s what I saw also.
OMG! Impeach him now!!!
I am micro-aggressed by this great non-hand holding outrage. Luckily I was within staggering range of my fainting couch. I will be in my safe space cowering, yearning for that great day when only obese disabled African American lesbians are allowed to hold hands or allowed to choose not to hold hands for social justice.

I saw nothing there but the media has to find something to trash them about... a sign Trump is a huge success!
id say the trump presidency is in pretty good shape if the msm has to invent stories to create a scandal where non exists-
That wasn’t a swat. It was merely a touch saying, “Yes, I’m here.”
I find this touching/not touching event extremely interesting. I will be spending my next few evenings studying the works of Freud who I am sure will be able to provide some insight. At first glance I’m guessing that Mr. Trump is feeling alone in the world in spite of being surrounded by welcoming hosts. He reaches out to the ONE person that he truly feels complete with. However, she is reminded in that split instant of her father reaching for her hand to cajole her into entering her classroom on her first day of school.
The hard part will be to determine if it is the fear of entering the classroom, or the defiant attitude of a confident little girl saying “I can do this myself.” Or - she IS full of anxiety, but decides that she, and only she can overcome those fears.

I have noticed where Donald is mostly in the foreground (the photos in Israel, walking first down the carpet, etc.) I’m guessing that it is their way (Melania’s way?) of respecting the presidential office.
Big Tranny Mooch, does not look happy with muzzie Barry there!!!
Yes, it’s a ridiculous story. The Trumps held hands for long stretches today while walking to various sites in Israel.
Leftist Trump-hating obsessively are going crazy over this. They love it.
They got nothing better to do.
Big nothing. Keeps the libtards happy I suppose.
In any case we must always assume the absolute worst—the patriarchy crushing the very attractive first lady’s right to not hold hands when she wants to not hold hands on diplomatic excursions into powerful oil-rich sand nations.
I am sorry America had to witness this great injustice.
