President Donald Trump appeared to make a grab for first lady Melania Trump's butt as the first couple greeted King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the White House on Tuesday.
A clip from a livestream of the greeting shows Trump shaking King Charles' hand, then awkwardly placing his hand on her back. But shortly after he does so, he slides his hand down and squeezes his wife's butt — justone day after Trump was slammed for a "disrespectful" gesture to Queen Camilla.
Almost as if he realized what he did, the president quickly swiped his hand away before giving Melania one more pat on the back, this time on her waistline. He then removes the hand altogether and shakes the King's hand once more. Itcomes after a bizarre bulge was spotted under Trump's pants — leading to an alarming accusation.
Trump and Charles greeted each other warmly on Tuesday as the monarch began a day of diplomacy in Washington designed to emphasize a bond between the United Kingdom and the United States that is so strong it can withstand the political turmoil of the moment.

The leaders will huddle later in the Oval Office for a meeting that’s closed to the public, reducing the potential for the freewheeling, sometimes controversial meetings with foreign officials that have become routine during Trump’s second term.

Charles will later become the first British monarch to address the U.S. Congress since his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1991. Her speech highlighted the shared history of both countries and the importance of their democratic values, themes Charles will likely reinforce on Tuesday.
