In the early days of the Trump administration, two unexpected champions emerged: Merriam-Webster’s Twitter account and former President Obama’s photographer, Pete Souza. Using his Instagram to share seemingly innocent snapshots, Souza has cleverly delivered subtle critiques of Trump, most recently spotlighting the awkwardness of hand-holding between Melania and Donald Trump.
The public has had a front-row seat to two distinct instances where Melania appeared to distance herself from her husband’s attempts at affection. Following one of these moments, Souza took to his popular Instagram, sharing a nostalgic photo with the caption “Holding hands.” The image contrasted starkly with the current First Couple’s visible discomfort, reminiscing about a time when gestures of affection were genuine and welcomed.
In the past few days, Melania’s hand-rejections have become a topic of amusement. The first occurred during their trip to Israel, followed by a second incident in Rome. What could be next? Perhaps the classic “Oops, I forgot something in my bag” move? The possibilities are entertaining and we’re eager to see them unfold.
This isn’t the first time Souza has utilized his photography skills to make a point about the current administration. After a chilly meeting between Trump and Angela Merkel, he shared a telling image, and he followed up with another post after viral photos of prominent figures mocking Hillary Clinton’s portrait. Souza has proven to be a maestro of subtle yet effective commentary.
