A second asked, \u201cDid anyone else catch that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump can\u2019t even keep his own wife\u2019s hand,\u201d a third claimed, while a fourth added, \u201cShe\u2019s trying not to hold the p**ophile\u2019s hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A fifth wrote, \u201cShe doesn\u2019t want that greasy, grimy predator touching her anymore,\u201d and a sixth added a disturbing take, writing, \u201cThis looks like a hostage video.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, everyone didn\u2019t agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are at a formal event, you stand at attention with your hands at your side\u2026 dumb liberal uncultured ** would never realize this,\u201d another social media user wrote.<\/p>\n

Melania chose a pale-pink haute couture outfit by Christian Dior for the White House State Dinner, paired with white gloves.<\/p>\n

Compared to Jackie Kennedy<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Social media users quickly noticed her outfit was very much like First Lady Jackie Kennedy\u2019s she wore when French Minister of Culture, Andr\u00e9 Malraux, visited the White House in 1962.<\/p>\n

\u201cJackie Kennedy made each design her own, and there is no denying that Melania is the most striking and stylish First Lady since her,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Another gushed, \u201cMelania looked as stunning as Jackie at the state dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
