The president and First Lady were leaving the stage alongside one another as Melania began to walk ahead of her husband.

She then appears to pull her hand away from his and strides forward.

Trump falls behind his wife and momentarily places his hand on her back before both walk off the stage.

The First Lady, 50, wore a mask for the debate held at Belmont University stage, while Trump again did not wear a face covering.

Melanie’s has been seen on a number of occasions appearing to snub her husband’s attempts at holding her hand.
