Why Melania Nudged Husband Donald Trump During National Anthem

New Delhi: A slightly awkward moment between US First Lady Melania Trump and her husband President Donald Trump has gone viral on social media. President Trump, the first lady and their son Barron welcomed guests to the traditional Easter egg roll at the White House on Monday. As the national anthem began, the Slovenian-born first lady and Barron quickly raised their hands to their hearts, in a traditional display of respect. She was then seen on camera nudging President Trump to do as well.

@DaniellaMicaela Quite telling that the first lady, an immigrant, had to remind him.

Some thought they knew what may have distracted him:
 

@CNN LOL not very subtle. I am sure he was pondering something important like the crowd size.

Others couldn't help but troll him:

@DaniellaMicaela @HuffPostComedy Poor guy - he's only been president for a few months! how is he supposed to know the protocal that every American in the country knows?

@SteveKopack @MicahGrimes Let's all ponder how Trump would have ripped Pres Obama for same scenario.

@foxnewspolitics @FoxNews Where's the clip of when @FLOTUS had to nudge @POTUS to put his hand on his heart for the anthem? If this was Obama it'd be @FOXTV headline

This person thought everyone needed to calm down:

@SteveKopack It happens. Subtle move by the first lady.

The US Flag Code calls for anyone addressing the flag - whether during the Pledge of Allegiance or the national anthem - to place their right hand over their heart as a sign of respect.
