Melania Trump Had to Remind Donald Trump to Put His Hand on His Heart for the National Anthem

While First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron have yet to move into the White House, they both made the trip down this weekend for the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll – and it’s probably a good thing they did.

As the Internet is noticing from clips of the ceremony on Sunday, it seems that POTUS needed a bit of a reminder about what to do during the national anthem. Luckily, Melania was there to give him a quick nudge when he didn’t put his hand over his heart. (Awk.)

While it may have been an honest mistake, and the president quickly responded to Melania’s cue, it was still too late for the Internet not to notice the not-so-subtle moment – and it definitely had some *thoughts*:

According to CBS News, the Easter festivities at the White House otherwise went off without any problems, despite reports that they had been thrown together last-minute.
