When Donald Trump and his wife Melania approached the front porch of the White House, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were standing there waiting to greet them. As a token of respect, Melania Trump tried to offer a gift to Michelle Obama. However, it didn’t go over too well.
While holding the small present, Michelle Obama was photographed looking seriously unimpressed with a perplexed expression on her face. After the cringeworthy moment aired on live television, social media users couldn’t help but post about the awkward exchange.

Even though this moment was utterly peculiar, the incident was harmless. While the former president and new president were civil during the swearing in ceremony, there were protesters in D.C. that were not quite so peaceful. Reports surfaced of riots breaking out and serious damage being done to some of the local businesses. Learn more here.
What do you think was going through Michelle Obama’s head when she received this gift from Melania Trump?
