You never quite know how things are going to go down when the President and First Lady of the US step out together in public.

Recently, Trump was filmed giving his wife a handshake before shoving her off stage during an event at a military facility near Washington DC.

Back in February, footage of the First Lady accompanying her husband at a campaign rally in Florida appeared to show her shuddering after he touched her arm mid-speech.

And the former model was seen appearing to slap the President’s hand away in a feisty tiff caught on camera during Donald’s tour of the Middle East in May.

And now it seems that relations between the pair have taken another turn – and the Donald isn’t even aware when his own wife is present.

Trump was speaking in Fort Myers, Florida, in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Irma when he made the gaffe.

He is heard speaking to media and rescue workers when he says: “I just want to thank everybody, the first responders, on behalf of myself and our Vice President.

“Melania really wanted to be with us. It’s really touched her heart.”

It was a touching message from the President to those working to support people affected in the deadly storm.

There was just one problem – Melania was definitely “with us” and in fact stood next to her husband the entire time.

The clip was posted to Twitter by US campaigner Holly O’Reilly, who set up the March for Truth protest against Donald Trump.

She tweeted: “And here, we have video of Trump saying that Melania ‘really wanted to be here’ while she’s standing next to him.”

It has been retweeted more than 7,000 times, with one viewer commenting: “God he has no idea she’s even there.”

Another tweeted: “I love Melania's expression as the video ends.”
