This is far from the first time Melania Trump has been caught giving her husband a less than warm reception.

Many on Twitter found the Trumps' hand-hold hilariously awkward.

The President and Melania Trump watched as the Bidens hugged, with the President jerking Melania's hand several times.
Jill Biden shows her husband love and support at the end of the debate. Melania looks like she'd rather hug Joe too.— Neko421 (@Neko421) 1601433788.0

By now, Melania Trump should have learned every move is dissected when you appear on live television with the President.
Perhaps things will be a little less awkward at the next debate.
