Michelle Obama and Melania Trump have been impressively civil throughout the transfer of power from one American president to the next, especially remarkable since the incoming First Lady (or more likely, her speech writer) plagiarised her predecessor’s speech during the campaign.
But outgoing First Lady Michelle may have revealed her true feelings about Donald Trump’s wife for just a brief moment on Inauguration Day, and it’s set the internet ablaze.
As Donald and Melania arrived at the White House on Friday, the Slovenian-born former model presented Michelle with a tell-tale robin egg blue box from Tiffany and Co.
It may not be tradition for the incoming First Lady to present her predecessor with a gift … as Michelle’s expression indicated in a photo that has become one of the most talked about moments of the day on the internet.

The most viral story of Trump’s inauguration might be the similarity part of his speech struck to a line by evil villain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
Melania channeled Jacqueline Kennedy in a sky-blue Ralph Lauren outfit, days after her husband slammed designer Tom Ford for saying he did not want to dress her.
