Donald Trump's attempts to show affection for Mike Pence -- and the Indiana governor's apparent resistance with a stiff arm -- led to an "air kiss" from the Republican presidential nominee to his running mate Wednesday.
The exchange between the two men who are still getting to know each other was teased on social media.
In the hour after the final Republican National Committee speech ended Wednesday, searches for "air kiss" spiked 2,800%, according to data from Google.
Pence's close friend Rep. Jeb Hensarling joked about the exchange Thursday on CNN's "New Day.""There's an embrace but nah ... They're not doing it that way in Indiana," the Texas Republican told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "Maybe they're doing it that way in New York. So there's a little difference in the style."
wew LOL
There is nothing gay about that. in most parts of the world people kiss each others on the cheeks as a sign of affection
ass cheeks?
LOL, that would be a little too much
lmao
This aligns with my prediction that Trump is starting to show increasingly socially liberal behavior. With this and Peter Thiel's speech, Trump is ready to become more socially liberal than Hillary. He simply needs to take one small step at a time.
