VIDEO ADDED - Melania and trump descending stairway of Air Force One today in Paris

Anyone notice, trump and Melania were descending the AF1 steps, halfway down he stopped and put his arm out to get her to stop, she paused and then took one more step down! I'll post the video when it's available later today.

Also, he looked exhausted and she had huge dark sunglasses and looked sullen.

He did look a little shaky, and his wave was very feeble. George II Jul 2017 #8

She has the signs of an abused spouse, emotionally if not physically.

Was he unsteady descending the stairs? Did he want to 'pose' and get some camera clicks?
I hope he's so exhausted, he has a giant meltdown. Wandering around lost on the stage and falling down the steps would be good too.

Thought for a split second he was going down.
Anyone else catch that?

It helps avoid unflattering photos being published. Obviously, GOP/Trump either has no protocol officer or they just don't listen to advice.

As much as I want to see them stumble, she was focused on the stairs and was likely beat after a red eye flight.

...he was brutal.

He doesn't deserve a second of defense for any sign of feebleness or dementia.
