DUBAI: US First Lady Melania Trump was seen giving the president a sharp reminder in etiquette Monday when the family hosted the White House Easter Egg Roll and eagle-eyed Twitter users took note.
The first lady was caught on camera nudging President Donald Trump in an apparent bid to remind him to place his hand on his heart while the national anthem played.

Her gesture was picked up on by camera crews positioned on the lawn below and social media users were quick to mock the president.
“Immigrants do essential jobs in our society, like reminding the President to pay attention to the national anthem,” one user tweeted.
