10 Embarrassing Political Kisses That Will Make You Cringe

It is customary to exchange small pecks on the cheek between loved ones; when saying hellos and goodbyes to a friend, and of course, there are politically motivated smooches, which don’t always look aesthetically pleasing.

We give you the top 10 most awkward kisses between politicians!

1. Donald Trump and Angela Merkel

Two years ago, at the G7 Summit, Trump kissed Angela Merkel. Well, he made an honest attempt, to be honest, but like any other woman who saw Donald pucker up, Merkel quickly retreated.

2. Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump

There’s nothing like a loving dad saying hi to his beautiful daughter by pecking her on the cheek, but this is overkill. At least it’s just a really unfortunate timing of the photo, but it’s still pretty creepy.

3. Donald and Melania Trump

When Donald and Melania visited South Korea in 2017, they were probably told to kiss for the camera. But obviously, Trump misheard that and “missed” Melania. Quite literally. What was he thinking?

4. Barack and Michelle Obama

Sometimes all it takes is a bad shot and, well, see for yourself — here’s Barack Obama kissing his wife Michelle at a really awkward angle. It’s not as bad as the photo of Donald and Melania, but that one’s really hard to beat.

5. George W. Bush and Oprah

It’s a sin when the politicians kiss each other, but it’s even more than that when celebs are involved. Not many of us remember Bush’s appearance on Oprah’s show back in 2004, and this kiss may be the reason why.

6. Al Gore and Tipper Gore

What was Al Gore thinking when he leaned in to kiss his wife with a face like that?  

7. Melania Trump and Justin Trudeau

The same day Trump’s “puckerface” at G7 Summit was splattered all over the internet, we saw his wife Melania really enjoying her kiss with the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Just look at how her husband reacts (or doesn’t react)!

8. Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

Out of all the US presidents, Trump wasn’t the only one to smooch Angela Merkel’s weary cheek. Remember when G7 was still G8? In 2012, Barack Obama was put on the spot, and this cringey photo was made.

9. Joe Biden and Brieana Carter

Believe it or not, Joe Biden was supposed to be posing for a quick selfie with a university graduate Brieana Carter, but he decided to push his luck and kissed her on the cheek for the entire world to see. At least Carter took it lightly and flashed a big smile. Otherwise, this would have been even more awkward.

10. Joe Biden and his Granddaughter

A uni graduate? Sure, it’s possible, but Biden would never awkwardly kiss his granddaughter Finnegan, right? Even though some people have no issues with kissing kids and grandkids on the lips, those are the absolute outliers.
