Melania Trump has no time for Donald's need for hand-holding
Few people are capable of telling Donald Trump no -- except, maybe, Melania Trump.
Take a look at this latest clip, featuring President Trump walking down an airport tarmac in Israel with his wife Melania. Trump repeatedly goes for his wife's hand, only to have her smack him away.
The clip gets really good/profoundly depressing about 4 seconds in.
It's hard to have any empathy for Melania, who recently delivered a women's empowerment speech to Saudi women in which she encouraged them to manage their "work life" balance. Saudi women are some of the most oppressed women in the world, and can't travel or go to the doctor without a male guardian's permission.
Maybe they just need to get their permission chakras in order?
Oh, Melania. It's all hard to swallow, but that doesn't mean we can't rejoice in this small, delightfully humiliating moment of resistance to the president.
Every little hand smack counts.
