Michelle Trumps Trump?

1/21/2017

Picture
Much has been made of Michelle Obama's awkward moment when greeting Melania Trump and appearing to be flustered by Melania presenting her with a gift.  Originally curious about whether it is traditional for the incoming First Lady to bring a gift, we searched for footage of when Barack and Michelle were greeted by George and Laura.  As you can see in the video, Michelle also brought a gift and presented it to her predecessor. Laura Bush accepted the present and tucked it out of sight for the official picture, simply holding it in one hand behind their backs as they all stood together.  When you watch the footage of Michelle and Melania, Michelle appears very flustered and as if she is shocked to find a gift in her hands.  She struggles with what to do with it for a moment before Barack saves the day and takes the gift.   

The significance of this interaction is open to interpretation.  While it was very surprising to see a typically very composed Michelle flustered, it does not to appear to be due to Melania breaking with tradition. You can watch footage of both below and decide for yourself. 
​
P.S. I think the true faux pas was Donald leaving his wife at the car as he raced up the steps.  Arriving together is the well establish polite protocol. Perhaps he should ask Barack for some relationship advice!
