President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump's relationship is often the subject of much public scrutiny, especially during those rare moments when they appear at public events together.
All too often, things seem to be less than perfect in paradise.
Over the first two years of Trump's Presidency, news outlets have captured countless embarrassing moments of awkwardness between the couple. As the Trumps arrived in the UK for their visit this Monday, the cameras captured another.
Before seeing the most recent, here are a few greatest hits between the President and the First Lady:

As before, President Trump reached out to take Melania's hand.
After an uncomfortable moment, she took it away to fix her hair, then never lowered it back down to her side.
