Current Events: Awkward Presidential Moments - the Shrugs Say It All, and I Really Wish the President Would Stop Hugging Our Flag!


I doubt that the lovely ladies were at fault for the awkward moment shown above when the President and the Czech Prime Minister abandoned them on the steps of the White House.  Did the husbands not notice that their wives were not with them?  Or did they just not care?  The two women, after a presumed eye roll and noticeable shrug, handled the situation gracefully, but who does not think that the men got an earful in private later on?

And on to another awkward moment, when Trump decided to once again hug the nation's flag at a political event a little over a week ago.  At first I thought I was the only one who found his rather graceless gesture odd if not downright creepy.  Then I found this blog post which made me realize there were indeed others who thought his gesture was uncomfortably similar to inappropriate canine behavior:

Heaven help us, even their facial expressions are similar!

Oh dear, once you see this eye worm there is just no un-seeing it (sorry, folks!).  Please, Mr. Trump, if you must hug Old Glory at least give her a one-armed buddy-type embrace, rather than a full-body throttle that just looks perverse!
