Did Melania Trump Just Troll Husband Donald Trump? Twitter Thinks So

New Delhi: Twitter. Everyone knows how much US President Donald Trump loves the micro-blogging site. His wife, First Lady Melania Trump, however, isn't particularly active on social media. So, it was a surprise to many when she 'liked' a person's tweet a few hours ago. Even more so when you see what the tweet says. Someone posted a hugely viral GIF on Twitter of Ms Trump at the inauguration smiling for a brief moment and then frowning as her husband looks her way with a caption slamming President Trump.
 

Seems the only #Wall @realDonaldTrump's built is the one between him and @FLOTUS #Melania #trump pic.twitter.com/XiNd2jiLUF

Ms Trump appeared to 'like' the tweet from her personal account, which is verified on Twitter, but rarely sees any activity. The last tweet on there is from November 8, 2016 - the day America went to the polls. She has since transferred her activity to the official @FLOTUS account, but doesn't use it nearly as much as her husband.

The tweet has since been 'unliked' but nothing ever really goes away on the Internet. Take a look at all the screenshots preserved for posterity:

Writer Andy Ostroy, who tweeted the GIF, runs a blog called "The Ostroy Report" which he says "serves as a watchdog of the Republican Party and President Trump." He was just as surprised as anyone else to see Ms Trump's reaction:
 

I suspect this isn't a real account for @flotus... pic.twitter.com/ziWXhlHruV

The unusual move raised more than a few eyebrows on Twitter:
 

@AndyOstroy @ScarsNotTats @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS Someone is about to call Twitter fake news !!

This person wondered whether an aide might be responsible for the mix-up:
 

@AndyOstroy @FLOTUS it's real but she doesn't use it herself. She has a communications director now. It was evidently a snafu on his part.

Another wondered whether Ms Trump's Twitter account had been hacked:
 

@AndyOstroy @FLOTUS It is though. Hacked maybe??

— Mint I. (@MintSparkle) May 3, 2017

The tweet remained 'liked' on @MELANIATRUMP's account for nearly 45 minutes before someone eventually took it down. Mr Ostroy's original tweet tagged Ms Trump's @FLOTUS account, not @MELANIATRUMP, which has many wondering how whoever 'liked' the tweet found it in the first place.

Ms Trump and the White House are yet to comment on the Twitter faux pas.
