First lady Melania Trump â or whoever is running her account â liked a tweet Tuesday that implied a chilly relationship between her and President Donald Trump.
Hereâs the tweet from progressive blogger Andy Ostroy that earned a like from the first ladyâs official personal account:
Seems the only #Wall @realDonaldTrump's built is the one between him and @FLOTUS #Melania #trump pic.twitter.com/XiNd2jiLUF
— Andy Ostroy (@AndyOstroy) May 3, 2017
The like vanished shortly after it appeared, but it will survive forever in the form of a screenshot:
The like was one of just two sheâs bestowed â the other being her first tweet.
So whatâs the story? Accidental? Rogue staffer? Coded cry for help? Subtle trolling of her husband?
Twitter has no shortage of theories:
Blink three times into Snapchat if you want my genderqueer immigrant feminazi squad to fly over on our nuclear surfboards and save u Melania

@AndyOstroy @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS For as much of a Twitter troll Trump is, Melania liking this tweet just might be the best trolling of 2017 so far. https://t.co/1QXSGJRAgy
