President Donald Trump made the headlines again this week for all the wrong reasons. While on his first trip abroad he proved his arrogance by rudely barging past the Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic to make sure he was front and center for a group photograph.
The childish act was noticed and scorned by many even though PM Markovic brushed it off as “inoffensive” and stated “it is natural that the president of the United States is in the front row.”
One of the funniest responses has come from bawdy actress, singer, and all-around funny woman Bette Midler.
Midler, who has been a vocal Trump critic, chimed in on Trump’s latest embarrassing and child-like behavior with a creative suggestion on why Trump might have been compelled to lay his tiny hands upon another human:
You see Trump shove Montenegro’s PM to get to the front of NATO group? Hes j just longing for human contact since his wife won’t touch him.

It has been noted on this trip that Trump’s wife, First Lady Melania Trump, has shooed Trump’s hand away more than once, when he has attempted to hold hers.
Midler put two and two together. Perhaps she is on to something? Some curious observations have been made about the Trumps. From Trump walking ahead of his wife, her smiles that turn to instant frowns, strange tweets from both of them, and refusals to hold hands, along with many other events, have made people speculate about the state of their relationship. Many are questioning if there is trouble in paradise? Or even was it ever paradise?
There is a photo with the pope where Melania looks downright forlorn and miserable. The photo has sparked a wave of hilarious memes.
Could this manhandling of a foreign dignitary be simply a case of what Midler is putting forward? Is it a desperate call out for human touch? Is he feeling unloved? Did the Prime Minister of Montenegro somehow fill a kind of void in Trump’s personal life?
This is Trump’s third marriage and from the outside, their relationship looks like it is under pressure – Midler is just another celebrity who has noticed.
