Melania Trump’s interaction with California Governor Gavin Newsom during their visit to California in order to support victims of wildfires has given rise to some wild speculations online.
On Thursday, Melania was seen deboarding Air Force One alongside President Donald Trump as they arrived to help those affected by the ongoing wildfires in the state. This was their first official visit since Trump took office. Governor Gavin Newsom warmly greeted the couple, and Melania was seen eagerly accepting a kiss on the cheek from him. The video quickly went viral, fueling rumors and theories about the exchange.

The moment triggered similarities to Melania during the Trump inauguration; many said Melania had ducked her husband’s kiss. According to some, one reason for not kissing him this time is due to the very large hat; however, since Melania had used a hat similarly large in similar circumstances last summer, she created more internet rumors.
Users in the social network have streamed a mix of opinions regarding the event, with some saying Melania was more relaxed with Newsom than with Trump. One even said, “Melania seemed to have the hots for Gavin.”
Then another one raised the awareness of people by saying, “Notice how receptive she was to him.” Others generally defended Melania, viewing this incident with milder reasons. A commenter said, “It’s because of the blush she had on for the inauguration! She didn’t want to mess it up.”
However, some Melania’s supporters described the incident as innocuous and called people who speculated as ‘stirring the pot’.
A user joked, “Oh, now it makes sense. Melania wore the hat as a barrier to Trump’s lips. Got it.” Another supporter wrote, “Trump gives Melania an air-kiss as not to mess up her gorgeous look. That’s respect.”
Despite the viral reaction, many have claimed that the kiss was a friendly gesture and that the online buzz was unnecessary.
