Did he just... push her?

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Had Yet Another <i>Very</i> Awkward Handshake Moment

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania visited Joint Base Andrews military facility in Prince George's county, Maryland on Friday, and there was more awkward body language happening. Awkward indeed.

Melania was tasked with introducing her husband to the troops before his speech (which addressed terrorism and threats made by North Korea). When she finished, Trump walked over and shook her hand, which was.... strange and formal AF?

Then, as Melania turned to walk off the stage, Trump appears to tell her to "go sit down," and proceeds to give her a gentle lil' push — because I guess he wanted to get this show on the road?

This is definitely not the first time Trump and the First Lady raised some eyebrows with their lack of affection and plain old weirdness: there was the time she swatted his hand away after arriving the couple arrived at Tel Aviv's airport for their two-day trip to Israel. Aaand then there was Trump's entire inauguration celebration.

Watch Trump's speech below (and fast forward to 2:25 to see the super uncomfortable exchange):
