While Donald Trump was busy trolling around one of his golf resorts last weekend, first lady Melania Trump attended the funeral of former first lady Barbara Bush.
Melania was seated next to former President Barack Obama. At one point during the funeral, the two shared a warm exchange that lit social media ablaze.

As organ music played a sad dirge and mourners thumbed through their programs, Obama leaned over and said something to Melania, resulting in the First Lady doing something we haven’t seen her do in a long, long time: smile.
Twitter was quick to take notice:
Hey @POTUS –
How’s golf? pic.twitter.com/fah0ik6cK0

add "make Melania smile" to the long list of things Obama can do that Trump can't

Do NOT tweet this photo to @realDonaldTrump. He'll hate knowing that the first time Melania cracked a smile in years was during a quiet chat with Obama. pic.twitter.com/4JwBHGUcP5

She’s thinking what a lucky bitch Michelle Obama is.

It’s sad that Melania Trump is dirtied by her association with Big Orange Blowhard Cheetos. She didn’t sign up for this and she deserves better.

I agree. I know that some folks feel differently, but I feel so much sympathy for her.

Perhaps he just reminded her that time is on her side with the 24 year age difference between her and her husband.

Lol! I am looking forward to all the memes that come from this.
