    The U.S. and Poland’s presidential couples were shaking hands Thursday before Trump’s speech in front of a crowd in Warsaw, the Polish capital.

    Poland’s first lady, Agata Kornhauser-Duda, shook hands with Trump and then all four of them lined up for a photograph.

    She then moved with an extended hand toward Melania, but Trump, standing nearer, thought the handshake was for him again and reached out to Kornhauser-Duda. He flashed a somewhat startled and disappointed look when the Polish president’s wife shook Melania’s hand, not his.

    Quickly sizing up the situation, Kornhauser-Duda gave Trump a second handshake and he gave her a pardoning smile.

    This story is being reported widely in the media, with the photo of the awkward moment. But this is – FAKE NEWS. The full video is available. It was an awkward moment, but it is very clear what happened. When Trump extended his hand to the Polish leader, the Polish first lady extended her hand to Mrs. Trump, assuming that the protocol was that the men shake hands first while the ladies shake hands. She then offered a handshake to Donald Trump. There was no rejecting of anyone. But the MSM would like us all to think that this is a statement of some sort. I wish this MSM immediate demise and replacement by people who have a conscience and are not consumed by hate.
