Donald and Melania Trump recently visited Dayton, Ohio, to pay their respects following last weekend’s mass shooting. During their visit, Twitter users were quick to notice one particular gesture the US President seemed to make towards the First Lady. Footage shows Mr Trump stood beside a car appearing to turn in Melania’s direction, before patting his leg.

The First Lady then walks towards the US President before Donald waves and the pair leave together. The video was shared on Twitter, with one user speculating: “Did Trump just call over Melania as if she’s a dog?” Another user commented: “Not sure what’s worse: that he did that or that she responded.” A third replied: “He sure did!” READ MORE: Does this frosty exchange show Melania shun Donald Trump?
