Donald Trump Ripped For Appearing to Summon Melania Like a Dog in Viral Video

Donald Trump was criticized after a video went viral in which he slapped his leg in an apparent move to summon his wife Melania Trump, much like a dog call.

The video from early this month, shared on Twitter early Wednesday by comedy writer James Felton, shows the president looking in the First Lady's direction and patting his leg with his right hand three times. Melania Trump walks over to him moments later.

It is not clear what the president was signaling with the slaps and whether they were even directed at his wife, but many Twitter users interpreted it as a demeaning way to get the first lady's attention and compliance.

"Donald Trump: 'Nobody respects women more than me,'" Felton captioned the clip. "Also Donald Trump: 'Here girl, come here girl' [pats leg] 'come here wife, there's a good girl.'"

In another tweet implying the president for denying he is sexist, Felton wrote: "'Heel, wife.'"

looks more like impatient tapping like she didn't walk around the car fast enough

if that ass ever had a dog he would have commanded and ordered it around in a loud voice like the pissant tyrant he is, no gentle c'mere taps

Along with several other hand signals. Preparing for old age and potential hearing problems. He is a good dog.

his body is built like a fire hydrant-tyrant and his hair resembles the color of pee and he has TP on his shoes. Maybe that's why he won't get a dog...it would be a matter of time before this would happen.

Usually he walks off and she has to play catch-up.

I didn't even think about it until someone at a church - yes church - called him on it. And then me for actually responding to his degrading actions. That was almost 50 years ago. Notice the guy is my ex-husband.
