Donald Trump was recently indicted after a New York grand jury voted to indict the former President on March 30, 2023. Trump was indicted for allegedly paying adult entertainer Stormy Daniels “hush money” to keep quiet about their affair.

Melania Trump looks terrified holding hands with Donald Trump while wearing a $1,140 blue dress on November 16, 2018. Although Melania and Donald have been married since 2005, they are not very loving with one another in the public eye. In fact, throughout Trump’s presidential campaign and term as President, the couple is often mocked for their awkward and uncomfortable PDA moments. From tense hand holds like this one, to her turning away from one of his kisses, and much more, these two have had plenty of awkward moments that were captured on camera. There have been various reports over the years that Donald and Melania live very separate lives behind closed doors, and their interactions in public do not do much to dispel that. Keep clicking through the gallery to check out some of the most awkward Donald and Melania PDA moments over the years.
