Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in December 2024. A photo of Donald and Melania Trump kissing at a baseball game has gone viral just days before Trump’s inauguration. The rare public display of affection surprised many, especially since Melania stayed mostly out of the spotlight during the 2024 campaign.

Supporters praised the moment on social media, calling it sweet and romantic. Others questioned whether it contradicted reports of distance between the couple. The Trumps last drew similar attention with a kiss at the Republican National Convention.
