It didn’t take Donald Trump much time at all to pay his respects to former President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday.
Trump walked inside the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, hand in hand with former and future first lady Melania Trump.
The couple moved toward the center of the room. Trump let go of the first lady’s hand. He closed his eyes, slowly swayed back and forth, opened his eyes, looked to his left, turned around, took the first lady’s hand again, and exited from where he came.
