Former President Donald Trump joked that he's "never going back" to his wife, Melania Trump, after getting a kiss from one of his supporters, the Inquisitr reported. This caused humorless leftists online to charge that the former first lady doesn't care anyway.
Donald Trump engaged in a playful exchange with Michaelah Montgomery, founder of the grassroots Conserve the Culture group, who spoke at his rally in Atlanta, Georgia. "This one is so smart, so sharp. She grabbed me. She gave me a kiss. I said, 'I think I'm never going back home to the First Lady,'" Donald Trump quipped.
Montgomery responded, "Shh, you were supposed to keep that quiet!" Trump was ready with his own quick retort, "See, now, for the average politician, that's death. For me, I don't care."

Trump's exchange with Montgomery pointed to a wonderful rapport the pair have. They first met when Montgomery was "behind the counter" at a Chick-fil-A and thanked the former president for what he did to save Clark Atlanta University, which is designated one of the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
While the live crowd understood and appreciated their lighthearted exchange, the internet tried to turn it into a scandal. Some took offense to the verbiage Trump used to describe Montgomery.
"Wait, did I hear him correctly? 'This one is smart?' What does he mean 'this one?' Why am I offended by that? Melania doesn't want him!" one user posted to X, formerly Twitter.
Others took swipes at Trump's wife and their marriage. "I don't think Melania cares, Donald," another user said.
A user chimed with one post saying, "She doesn't!" while another claimed, "She's celebrating." Trump's detractors have no sense of humor and will use any excuse to denigrate at his character and his marriage.
Before Trump and Montgomery engaged in the banter that made the internet denizens apoplectic, Montgomery spoke out against Harris and her pandering. Last week, Trump pointed out that Harris "happened to turn black" only recently when it became convenient, the UK Daily Mail reported.
The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee's background is Asian and Jamaican. However, Harris and her surrogate have embraced her identity only as a Black woman.
Montgomery echoed Trump's viewpoint about this shift in her remarks at the rally. "I'm trying to figure out what all the outrage is about because she's only black when it's time to get elected," Montgomery said.
"The same Black people who are mad at Trump for being confused about her race, ethnicity, nationality, whatever, are seemingly forgetting that while you're touting her as a savior for black people, she identifies as an Asian woman. She chose her side, and it wasn't ours," Montgomery added.
Trump is naturally funny, and that is part of his charm among his supporters. However, the left is devoid of such lightness about many things, most especially when it involves Trump.
