‘I Genuinely Can’t Stop Thinking About This’: Twitter Reacts to Image of Trump Leaving Melania Behind…
One image from President Donald Trump‘s inauguration late last week that’s getting a big reaction on Twitter is this photo of the President walking to meet Barack and Michelle Obama while Melania Trump lags significantly behind. Eventually, the Obamas greet her. Entertainment Weekly‘s Marc Snetiker Tweeted the photos:

Here’s some of what people are saying about Trump’s manners vs those of the Obamas.
@MarcSnetiker my 8 yo son just said “Manners count, Mom, esPECially when you are a President.”

@AnaGasteyer @MarcSnetiker My 5-year-old nephew asked the day after the election, “But how can someone so mean be president?”

@MarcSnetiker @Dripps This makes me very sad for Melania. And I don’t care what people say about that.

@MarcSnetiker @Republican4Hil If she doesn’t know he’s all about him by now, she never will. And the Obamas are pure class.

@MarcSnetiker When a man walks ahead of a woman, it’s just terrible manners. My ex used to do it to me.

@MarcSnetiker @AnaGasteyer I agree. Very disturbing. I showed my 8 & 10 yr old sons and explained what SHOULD have happened.
