And while Melania and her son, Barron, immediately raised their hands to their hearts in quick succession, the President wasn’t so smart on the uptake.

When Melania realised that her husband was about to make a huge faux pas she acted like the wing woman everyone needs in such a situation and gave her husband a nudge on the arm.

Trump then realising that he was being watched by the eyes of the world trid to brush the whole thing off by immediately raising his hand to his heart, but it was all caught on camera.

The gaffe happened in front of a 21,000 strong crowd, which included Trump’s daughter Tiffany and his sons Donald Jr and Eric.

“We wish you great fun, and a beautiful day is coming ahead of us.

“Happy Easter.”
