One imagines that many world leaders throughout history—especially those named Bill Clinton—have made public appearances with their spouses while their relationships, in private, were less than serene.

To use a few technical terms commonly thrown around in the world of geopolitical analysis: Yikes! Ouch! No bueno!
Melania Trump, of course, does not live in the White House, ostensibly because she is staying with Barron Trump while he finishes his school year in New York City. Also, remember this?
Update, 11:40 a.m.: Haaretz has the slo-mo.
