"Having them together in these photogenic moments is important."

Trump, whose spokeswomen have denied he had sex with McDougal or Daniels, has met the latest allegations with near silence. On Thursday, first lady Melania Trump tweeted a photograph of herself with her husband, smiling on a White House patio with the snow-covered South Lawn as their backdrop.



The president retweeted the photo for his 49 million followers.

It was as close as Trump would get to responding to the growing public-relations mess of multiple sex scandals.

"Having them together in these photogenic moments is important," said political scientist Terry Madonna of Pennsylvania's Franklin & Marshall College.

His smile looks especially forced. For once, Melania actually looks fairly happy.

Whenever I see them together, they really look like strangers, strangers who can't stand each other.
