People Are Going Nuts Over This Awkward Donald Trump-Mike Pence Kiss at the RNC

Jul 20 2016 - 10:47pm

Donald Trump hopped on stage at the end of Mike Pence's speech Wednesday night at the RNC in Cleveland to steal the spotlight congratulate him — and give him an air kiss.

Twitter was quick to react to the interaction between the real estate mogul and his vice president pick [1]:

it's dope that conservatives are down with the male on male air kiss. Trump always zigging when they zag.

So many questions remain: did Trump intentionally go for the air kiss? Did he mean to give a real kiss but then backed up when Pence didn't return the love? Why did he stop at one instead of going in it the European way? Was he trying to take the attention from Ted Cruz's humiliating speech [8]? The world may never know.
