In what threatens to become a habit, First Lady Melania Trump slapped her husband, President Donald Trump, in public, again sparking speculation about the state of their relationship.

The latest incident occurred on Monday when the couple arrived at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport to begin an official visit to Israel, part of the president's first trip abroad since his arrival at the White House.

The Trumps were received with all the honors at the foot of the ladder of the presidential Air Force One plane by the Israeli authorities with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara at the helm.

After the cordial greetings, in the videos of the reception act it is seen as when the two couples walk on the red carpet, the president reaches out to shake hands with the first lady, who is a couple of steps behind with a beautiful White dress.

But instead of grabbing her husband's hand, Melania slaps him and continues walking.

The first lady's reaction has not gone unnoticed by the media that has covered the president's arrival in Israel from Saudi Arabia, which was the first stop on this tour abroad that will also take him to Italy and Belgium, where will attend a NATO meeting.

The body language of the Trump marriage, which until now has drawn more attention for reactions like today than for loving moments, has inevitably generated comparisons with that of the country's previous first couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, who are I used to see gestures of complicity and affection.

Another difference between the current and former occupants of the White House is that Trump for now continues to live alone in the presidential mansion, since Melania is still in New York waiting for the couple's son, Barron, to finish the school year. The same president recently said that his wife and son will be moving to Washington DC soon.
