Roses are red/
Violets are blue/
Melania does not like to hold Donald's hand/
These are things we know to be true.

Did you like my poem? It's all just my way of telling you that thing of when Donald-tries-to-hold-Melania's-hand-and-she-really-didn't-want-him-to-and-also-a-million-cameras-were-on-them happened again.

This time, the incomplete hand hold took place on the White House South Lawn during a military welcome ceremony with French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.

As you can see, Trump goes for it several times over the course of an extremely tense 13 seconds before ultimately making it happen.

As a reminder, Melania has yet to publicly acknowledge anything having to do with Stormy Daniels, the porn star who allegedly had an affair with the President shortly after the First Lady was pregnant with their only child together.

And, uh, yeah. That's about it.
