With just days left before his inauguration, a photo of Donald Trump and Melania Trump sharing a kiss has taken the internet by storm, sparking a wide range of reactions online.

The undated image shows the couple locking lips during a baseball game. The photo is garnering attention at a time when Melania has largely stayed out of the public eye, making few appearances alongside her husband during the 2024 presidential campaign. This rare moment captured on social media has many questioning the dynamics between the Trumps, especially considering recent media reports suggesting a growing distance between the two.

After the photo hit social media platform X (formerly Twitter), reactions flooded in. Supporters of the couple were quick to praise the affectionate display, with one user writing, “Now THAT is how to handle the kiss cam kiss.” Another excitedly added, “32 days until these 2 are back in the White House!” A third simply posted, “That’s my President!!!!” These comments reflect the positive reception of the moment, particularly among Trump’s base.

However, the image also invited its fair share of critics. Some pointed out that this moment might contradict the media’s portrayal of Melania and Donald’s relationship, with speculation that the couple’s bond may not be as strong as once thought. Despite this, the overwhelming majority of comments seem to reflect support for the couple’s closeness, with many calling it a sweet gesture.

The Trumps were last in the headlines together during the Republican National Convention (RNC) earlier this year, when Donald Trump, after receiving the Republican nomination for the 2024 election, shared a kiss with Melania. This public moment sparked discussions about their relationship, showing the continued interest in their personal life.

In another moment this week, Trump caught the public’s eye again, this time at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. His distinctive “hat hair” had social media buzzing, with many initially thinking he had debuted a new, sleek haircut. However, it was quickly revealed that the unusual appearance was simply the result of his trademark “hat hair” – a familiar look for the former president.
