Jimmy Kimmel weighs in on Donald and Melania Trump's awkward handshake
Watch Next

No matter what Donald and Melania Trump's relationship may actually be like, there's no denying from the outside it can look supremely awkward. From the hand slap to the slow dance, and now this.

After introducing "The Donald" at a public address at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Melania and her husband shared an affectionate... handshake. Unleash the Kimmel.

Kimmel calls the handshake "the most uncomfortable display of affection between any husband and wife this year," as well as highlighting an almost equally awkward interaction between Melania and a small schoolgirl. He finishes the segment on a short tribute to the Trumps' most affectionate moments.

On the other hand who is Jimmy Kimmel to say what true love looks like? Who are any of us?

Nope, that line's about as convincing as the handshake itself. Full steam ahead on the lampoon-train.
